초록

This essay puts forward the significance of grasping the singularity of the literary/aesthetic mode in reading the modern Irish drama. I think the first thing we need to interrogate carefully and seriously in postcolonial Irish drama is the notion of what we think literature is supposed to do. One of the things that the study of the culture of colonialism, and especially, the emergence of the study of literature both in Britain and in the colonial world is to show us the work literature did in relation to the institutions of colonial rule. The complexity of the Irish situation especially mandates an analysis that is neither limited to simplified Irish/ British binaries nor confined to conventional deployments of race, class, and gender, categories whose integrity in Ireland is disrupted by other political and ideological imperatives. Therefore, Ireland's mixed position in relation to imperialism can complicate, extend and in some cases expose the limits of current models of postcoloniality.
