| Irish
Theatre and Globalisation
This panel considers whether globalisation requires new methodological
approaches for the study of Irish drama. Vic Merriman will outline
the relationships between Globalisation, Civil Society, and Cultural
Work. Shaun Richards will take up and extend this exploration, considering
the extent to which globalisation, rather than postcolonialism, is
now the most appropriate paradigm for the study of Irish theatre.
Patrick Lonergan will explore the relationships between globalisation
and postcolonialism, by considering the impact of multiculturalism
on Irish theatre.
