Seeing Other Dublins

Recorded December 6, 2018. From Joyce's Ulysses to Fáilte Ireland's
latest rebranding of Dublin as 'surprising by nature', the city has
repeatedly been a subject of mediation. Yet many aspects of its
development persistently escape reflection in the city's arts and
media. Considering the challenge of representing other Dublins and
Dublin's others, the session will feature contributions from the
poet, playwright and former Ireland Chair of Poetry Paula Meehan,
the artist Dorothy Smith, a key visual documenter of the
contemporary inner city, and the academic and film classifier Zélie
Asava, author of The Black Irish Onscreen (2013). Trinity and the
Changing City is organised by the Identities in Transformation
research theme , led by Tom Walker, School of English, Daniel Faas,
Department of Sociology, and Sarah Kerr , Trinity Long Room Hub,
and is supported by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities
Research Institute. Learn more at:
