Virtual Encounters in Irish Studies in South America
In light of
the current Covid-19 pandemic alongside the political and social crises that
have emerged as a consequence, the XV
Symposium of Irish Studies in South America, organized
by the Brazilian Association of Irish Studies in South America (ABEI) and the
W.B. Yeats Chair of Irish Studies, intends to promote “virtual
encounters” between scholars from many fields across the continent
and the globe.
The
history of nations has been marked by several traumatic events such as
revolutions, lost wars, fall of empires, plagues, market collapses and their subsequent outcomes:
unemployment, forced migrations, genocides, terrorism, famines among others.
The Symposium will coincide with the I Online Irish Film Series in Brazil, organized by the WB Yeats Chair in partnership with Spcine — the City of São Paulo’s film agency. The series will stream four Irish fictions between September 17th and 30th, covering a wide range of themes and genres. The highlight of the program is Frank Berry’s Irish Prison film, Michael Inside (2017), awarded Best Film in the Irish Film and Television Awards in 2018.
Thus, the XV Symposium of Irish Studies in South America is an invitation for academics to connect in order to contemplate the ways in which global crises have shaped the arts, literature, and culture. It is also an opportunity to reflect upon the struggles the world has been facing against an invisible common enemy.
