Joe Cleary: Irish Republicanism, Empire, and Internationalism

Event is in Levering Great Hall, JHU Homewood Campus

Join us for the first Keynote Lecture of the Global South Humanities Initiative, “Irish Republicanism, Empire, and Internationalism” by Dr. Joe Cleary. Reception to follow.

Dr. Cleary is the John M. Schiff Professor of English at Yale University. His most recent books are Modernism, Empire, World Literature (2021) and The Irish Expatriate Novel in Late Capitalist Globalization (2021). Modernism, Empire, World Literature examines how Irish and American writers transformed the London- and Paris-centered world literary system in the period after World War I. The Irish Expatriate Novel in Late Capitalist Globalization examines how Irish writers have engaged with the wider world beyond Ireland in the post-Cold War era in the contexts of a shift of the center of gravity of the Anglophone world literary system from England to the United States and the contemporary rise of China. Dr. Cleary has also written on national literatures and partition in Literature, Partition and the Nation-State: Culture and Conflict in Ireland, Israel and Palestine (2002) and on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary, cinematic, and music cultures in Outrageous Fortune: Capital and Culture in Modern Ireland (2007).
