Fráma Eile: An tOileánach / The Islander by Tomás Ó Criomhthain

Fráma Eile: An tOileánach / The Islander by Tomás Ó Criomhthain

Description:

The Fráma Eile roundtable series, organized by PhD students in the Centre for Irish Studies and Roinn na Gaeilge, explores new approaches to framing established texts (in both English and Irish), material objects, and artwork in the Irish Studies canon.

The first roundtable discusses An tOileánach / the Islander by Tomás Ó Criomhthain, the famous Blasket Island autobiography. Three speakers will highlight aspects of the text which have escaped critical attention to date, as well as suggest new reading methods and consider how An tOileánach has been framed in the academy to date.

This event will be bilingual.

All are welcome, and after presentations, the floor will be open to contributions and comments from all in attendance.
