This collection of essays focuses on issues of gender and sexuality in Irish history, biography, language, literature and drama. While the contributors employ a variety of methodological and critical perspectives, they share the conviction that the gendering of Ireland - not only of the nation, but of actual Irish men and women - is a construction of culture and ideology and not simply one of nature.

The history of sexuality in Ireland remains relatively understudied when compared with the more well-worn paths of political and military history, but that is not to say that it has never been considered. Now, in the fourth installment of the 'Irish perspectives' collaboration between Pen and Sword and History Ireland, a range of experts explore Irish history from the perspective of the broad concept of sexuality, in both theory and practice. From the legalities that defined gender roles in the middle ages and early modern periods, to women's role in political life and civil society, Gender and Sexuality in Ireland provides a comprehensive overview of the nation's understanding and relationship with sexuality and patriarchy. Population change, prostitution, incarceration, infanticide, abortion and homophobia are all considered alongside attempts to impose - and ignore - Catholic morality in independent Ireland. Struggles for women's rights and reproductive rights, the culture wars of the 1980s, and Irish people simply trying to have good sex lives, the essays gathered here cast light on aspects of Ireland's past that are often overlooked in more mainstream narratives of Irish history.

This thesis examines early Irish ideas of sexual difference through five thematic studies of the construction of gender in Irish saga texts. Its readings analyze the representation of femininity, masculinity, sexuality, and corporeality in a range of sagas from the mythological and Ulster cycles. A brief introductory survey of historical and literary scholarship on women, gender, and sexuality in early medieval Ireland opens the thesis. The first chapter reads two foretales to the central text of the Ulster cycle, Tain Bo Cuailnge [The Cattle-Raid of Cooley], De Chophur in Da Muccida [On the Quarrel of the Two Swineherds] and Noinden Ulad [The Debility of the Ulstermen], for their representation of gender and corporeality; a preliminary discussion of gender in sagas classified as foretales contextualizes the analysis of the place of gendered bodies in originary saga narratives. The second chapter focuses on Irish literature's militant women, surveying female warriors in texts including the Law of Adomnan, a learned poem by Flann Mainistrech, and early Irish classical adaptations as context for a reading of the women warriors in Tochmarc Emire [The Wooing of Emer]. The third chapter examines the representation of bodies and sexuality in the mythological saga Cath Maige Tuired [The Battle of Mag Tuired], concentrating on the carnivalesque sequence that relates the sexual encounter between the Dagda and the daughter of the enemy leader, Indech; the discussion contrasts the sequence's subversive, scatological comedy with the conservative portrayal of gender and sexuality elsewhere in the narrative. The fourth chapter traces the differences of gender ideology between the two medieval versions of Tain Bo Cuailnge by analyzing their representation of masculinity, particularly in the Fer Diad episode. The final chapter reads the corporeal signification of the heroes of Scela Mucce Meic Datho [The Story of Mac Datho's Pig] through the concept of inscription in flesh, drawing on Old Irish legal texts and twentieth-century theorists to examine the function of mutilated male bodies in the saga's ironic, parodic discourse. The prominence of bodies in the texts considered suggests that early Irish saga privileges corporeality over gender as an index of power and difference.

Locked in the Family Cell is the first book on Ireland to provide a sustained and interdisciplinary analysis of gender, sexuality, nationalism, the public and private spheres, and the relationship between these categories of analysis and action. Kathryn Conrad examines the writers and activists who are resistant to simplistic nationalist constructions of Ireland and its subjects. She exposes the assumptions and the effects of national discourses in Ireland and their reliance on a limited and limiting vision of the family: the heterosexual family cell. By actively situating theoretical readings and concerns in practice, Conrad follows the lead of scholars such as Lauren Berlant, Gloria Anzaldua, Ailbhe Smyth, and others who have encouraged dialogue not only among scholars in different academic disciplines but between scholars and activists. In doing so she provides not only a critique of interest to scholars in a variety of fields but also a productive political intervention.

This book traces the turbulent history of queer visibility in the Irish media to explore the processes by which a regionally based media system shaped queer identities within a highly conservative and religious population. The book details the emergence of an LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland and charts how this burgeoning movement utilised the media for the liberatory potential of advancing LGBTQ rights. However, mainstream media institutions also exploited queer identities for economic purposes, which, coupled with the eruption of the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, disrupted the mainstreaming goals of queer visibility. Drawing on industrial, societal and production culture determinants, the author identifies the shifting contours of queer visibility in the Irish media, uncovering the longstanding relationship between LGBTQ organising and the Irish media. This book is suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, media studies, cultural studies and LGBTQ studies.

This innovative collection offers a new understanding of sexual and gender politics in Ireland throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

In Ireland, recent social, cultural and political changes combined with globalisation, commercialisation and new technologies have re-shaped how we understand and think about sexuality. There is now a multiplicity of ways in which individuals can experience their sexuality, negotiate their sexual identities and advocate for sexual rights. Meanwhile, sexualities continue to be denied, problematised and subjected to regulation. The ongoing exchanges between real-life sexualities and the social contexts in which they are forged, provides the core focus of this book. Sexualities and Irish Society explores the construction and management of sexualities across a number of different sites, including the family, the legal and education systems, medical and therapeutic settings, and cultural and commercial arenas. Engaging with both theoretical and empirical material, the authors analyse the power relations within which sexualities are constructed, resisted and reconstructed. Written by academics, researchers, advocates and practitioners, this is the first comprehensive academic text on sexualities in Irish society. It showcases the best of recent scholarship from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Sexualities and Irish Society is a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in social policy, social care, social work, sociology, women's studies, cultural studies, history, politics and studies of the body. It should also appeal to activists, campaigners and professional practitioners.
