Alongside headline achievements for feature films such as Room, Sing Street, The Lobster, The Young Offenders there were notable successes in animation, short films and documentary as well as a bumper--and unlikely to be repeated--level of drama and factual programming produced for the small screen as part of the 1916 commemorations. Thanks to such efforts, and despite an increasing tendency towards non-Irish settings and stories in feature film, one of the most striking elements of moving image production in 2016 was the degree to which this range of output balanced cultural and commercial imperatives in an era of increasingly commodified "content". Having said that, there was irony in the fact that having produced an unprecedented quantity (and quality) of material dealing with the historical origins of an independent Ireland in the early part of the year, the television sector underwent rapid and seismic changes in the second half of 2016 in an apparently irreversible shift towards globalized ownership and formats and a fundamental re-shaping of RTEs role as national broadcaster. Off-screen, 2016 was also marked by a perceptible advance in gender participation and a range of female-led successes and appointments. Prolific producers such as Rebecca O'Flanagan (Viva, Handsome Devil), Katie Holly (the period film Love and Friendship was one of the year's biggest and most unusual Irish success stories), Rachel Lysaght (Strange Occurrences in a Small Irish Village, Hostage to the Devil) and Leslie McKimm continued to build business momentum while also being to the forefront of institutional decision processes; Holly and Lysaght were appointed as members of the IFB and McKimm as Project Manager. Within the same organization the confirmation of Dr. Annie Doona as IFB Chair (following the untimely passing of Bill O'Herlihy in June 2016), marked the first woman in the role since Lelia Doolin in the early 1990s. Doona was instrumental in the formulation of the IFB's "six point plan" in Nov. 2015, "a holistic and integrated approach to achieve real change" around gender equality in the industry. Among i

Este artigo apresenta uma visao geral acerca das possibilidades engendradas pela influencia da literatura russa sobre a poesia irlandesa. Em seguida, o foco se volta para a obra de Paul Durcan e a maneira pela qual a Russia e apresentada como um “outro lugar” que permitiu a Durcan ir alem da insularidade irlandesa e ampliar sua perspectiva. Desse modo, este estudo revela que o fato de Durcan voltar-se para a Russia e uma tentativa de romper com a nocao hegemonica de identidade, segundo a qual a relacao entre lugar e sujeito e indissoluvel. Destarte, a Russia e concebida como uma nacao imaginaria que permite ao sujeito se libertar da tradicao anglo-irlandesa, permitindo a destruicao de mitos que existem em torno da ideia de lar.

Em um numero significativo de poemas de Paul Durcan, um “personagem” chamado Paul Durcan faz uma aparicao. Em parte, traco autobiografico, em parte, construcao ficcional, o que essa persona enigmatica tem a dizer sobre autoria, subjetividade e potencial para autorretratos via forma poetica? Este artigo examina as multiplas implicacoes da aparente auto-inscricao de Durcan a luz da nocao de Barthes acerca da morte do autor, de Foucault sobre a funcao do autor e da propria percepcao de Durcan da colecao de poesia como uma galeria de imagens verbais.
