A collection of scholarly articles and essays by dancers and scholars of ethnochoreology, dance studies, drama studies, cultural studies, literature, and architecture, Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture: Connections in Motion explores Irish-German connections through dance in choreographic processes and on stage, in literary texts, dance documentation, film, and architecture from the 1920s to today. The contributors discuss modernism, with a specific focus on modern dance, and its impact on different art forms and discourses in Irish and German culture. Within this framework, dance is regarded both as a motif and a specific form of spatial movement, which allows for the transgression of medial and disciplinary boundaries as well as gender, social, or cultural differences. Part 1 of the collection focuses on Irish-German cultural connections made through dance, while part 2 studies the role of dance in Irish and German literature, visual art, and architecture.

Elizabeth Shaw, who has until now remained all but unknown in her native Ireland, was one of the most celebrated children’s authors in East Germany, producing a series of masterful children’s books that have stayed in print since her death in 1992. She was also a deeply complex, passionate woman, a brilliant author, and a gifted artist beyond the confines of Children’s literature. Born in Belfast in 1920 to Irish parents, Shaw was a life-long outsider, sheltered from the poverty and violence of the city at the liberal, left-wing Royal Academy. At the age of 12, her family moved to Bedford in England, and she would eventally go on to attend the Chelsea School of Art, impressing her teachers and absorbing the social and political struggles of her time. In 1939, she was called up to the war effort and worked in the London telephone exchange. Having published sketches in 1940 and contributed to the London left-wing magazines Our Time and Lilliput, she exhibited works in 1943 at the Artists’ International Association in London. In 1944l, she met the Swiss-born émigré artist and communist René Graetz. They married in 1946 and, like other German exiles opposed to National Socialism, decided to help build a better, socialist Germany. Deeply inflected by the politics of East Germany, she worked as a caricaturist with Neues Deutschland, the newspaper of East Germany’s ruling Socialist Unity Party, before going on to write 23 enromously successful books for children, making her a household name across Germany. By times elusive, moving and deeply revealing, this is a finely tuned memoir by one of Ireland’s great forgotten artists - now illustrated with many never-before-published illustrations, and with an insightful and enligtening afterword by Fergal Lenehan and Sabine Egger which delves into the under-explored aspects of Shaw’s relationship to Stalinism, the GDR, and those around her.

The cultural, political, social and economic interaction between Ireland and Poland has a long and complex history. This volume hopes to contribute to an emerging debate around the issues concerned by looking at alternative frameworks for understanding the relationship between the two countries. While the topic has attracted growing interest among researchers from various disciplines in recent years, this is the first book dedicated to exploring this cultural relationship in the context of Polish migration to Ireland. The essays in this collection tease out significant strands that connect the two countries, including literature, visual media, education, politics and history. Examining Polish-Irish relations in their wider historical and cultural context allows for new definitions of Irish, Polish and European identities in the New Europe. Especially important in view of the challenges and opportunities that a multicultural Ireland faces after the hard landing of the Celtic Tiger, this book provides new perspectives on a substantial and vibrant cross-cultural relationship.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entwarf Johannes Bobrowski mit seinem ''Sarmatien'' einen literarischen Raum, der einen überraschend zeitgemäßen Orientierungspunkt für die Diskussion ''östlicher'' europäischer Grenzräume im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert bietet. In der aktuellen Forschung ist eine Infragestellung von Grenzen durch Begriffe wie Liminalität (Turner), dritter Raum (Bhabha) oder Ähnlichkeit (Bhatti) zu beobachten. In den hier versammelten Beiträgen geht es darum, wie Grenzräume in deutschsprachigen literarischen Texten inszeniert, intermedial reflektiert oder dekonstruiert werden, und welche Rolle das innerhalb eines bestimmten Feldes oder Diskurses spielt. Der Vergleich von Werken Musils, Celans, Sebalds oder Trojanows mit Beispielen aus der russischen, kasachischen, polnischen oder tschechischen Literatur (u.a. Babel, Tokarzcuk, Belger) eröffnet komparatistische und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf ein über Europa hinausreichendes Panorama literarischer Grenzräume.In the aftermath of WWII, Johannes Bobrowski''s Sarmatia created a poetic borderland space that challenged existing borders in Central and Eastern Europe – and has continued to do so in the 20th and 21st century. Recent scholarship has increasingly begun to question borders by introducing terms such as liminality (Turner), third space (Bhabha), or similarity (Bhatti). Individual chapters in this volume discuss how borderland spaces are staged, intermedially reflected, or deconstructed in German-language literature, and what impact this might have within a particular field or discourse. By comparing works of Musil, Celan, Sebald or Trojanow with Russian, Kazakh, Polish or Czech literature (e.g. Babel, Tokarczuk, Belger), comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives are opened on a vibrant panorama of literary spaces reaching beyond the borders of Europe.»Als wertvollste Leistung des Bandes kann die tiefere Einbindung Bobrowskis und auch des Mitteleuropadiskurses in aktuelle transnationale und interkulturelle Debatten in der Germanistik betrachtet werden.«– aus: Germanistik in Ireland, 16 (2021), S. 247–249 (Yvonne Zivkovic, Universität Graz)»This volume presents a bilingual (German/English) compendium of the diverse and multifaceted depictions of and theoretical deliberations on the topic of borders from the geopolitical to the linguistic. This comprehensive undertaking has a wide sweep covering mostly German-language literary examples from the last 100 years. […] this is a book that can be highly recommended.«– aus: Jahrbuch »Gegenwartsliteratur«, Band 21 (2022), S. 352-354 (Kathleen E. Thorpe, University of the Witwatersrand)»Der Sammelband wird sowohl das Interesse von BOBROWSKI-Expert*innen, Forscher*innen in den Bereichen Geistesgeschichte, deutschsprachiger Kultur und Geschichte Osteuropas erwecken als auch das von Theoretiker*innen literarischer Hybridität und bietet neben detaillierten und nuancierten Textanalysen auch einen äußerst nützlichen Überblick zu relevanten Grenztheorien an.«– aus: Convivium. Germanistisches Jahrbuch Polen (2022), S. 217-220 (Jenny Watson, University of Edinburgh)
