Lacan, Fragmentation and Louise O’Neill’s Asking for It
This article addresses the theme of fragmentation in Louise O’Neill’s Asking for It (2015) by means of a reading and interpretation that is informed by Jacques Lacan’s thinking. The article argues that Asking for It is an example of the recent trend towards representations of fragmentation in twenty-first-century Irish writing, especially in terms of the female body. The article provides an overview of Lacan’s thinking on the mirror-stage and off…
Haunted Heaney
Haunted Heaney: Spectres and the Poetry looks at the ghosts and spectres present within the poetry of the Nobel Prize winning poet Seamus Heaney. Covering Heaney’s work from his first collection, Death of a Naturalist, to his final collection, Human Chain, this volume analyses Heaney’s poetry through the lens of hauntology as presented by Jacques Derrida in Specters of Marx. This book presents spectres and ghosts not in the conventional sense, as…

Brendan Behan’s “The Hostage” poses a deep critique of extreme nationalism within an Irish context. The present article interrogates notions of identity and history through the theoretical lens of hauntology, first presented by Jacques Derrida in Specters of Marx. The probing of the spectral, absent presences within the text show history to repeat itself in the present through the workings of the Derridean spectre. The villainous nature of the IR…
Virgilian Hauntings in the Later Poetry of Seamus Heaney
Many Irish poets have been quick to adopt classical mythology into their work because it adds a sense of universality to their primary worlds. Richard Kearney notes that Seamus Heaney is similar to Kinsella, Montague and Durcan in that all have “succeeded in rediscovering home away from home, in rereading their native myths and memories
