Examining images of gender and violence, this book analyzes selected works of three influential artists of the Irish cinema--Ford, Sheridan and Greengrass--whose careers, taken together, span the period from 1939 to the present. These three explore fundamental questions about identity, patriarchy and violence within Irish and Irish-American contexts, and in the process upset conventional notions of masculine authority. Furthermore, Ford's later films interestingly depart from the egalitarian ideals that distinguish his pre-World War II films.

Spanning a broad trajectory, from the New Gaelic Man of post-independence Ireland to the slick urban gangsters of contemporary productions, this study traces a significant shift from idealistic images of Irish manhood to a much more diverse and gender-politically ambiguous range of male identities on the Irish screen.

This edited collection presents a selection of essays on the history of Irish masculinities. Beginning with representations of masculinity in eighteenth-century drama, economics, and satire, and concluding with work on the politics of masculinity post Good-Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, the collection advances the importance of masculinities in our understanding of Irish history and historiography. Using a variety of approaches, including literary and legal theory as well as cultural, political and local histories, this collection illuminates the differing forms, roles, and representations of Irish masculinities. Themes include the politicisation of Irishmen in both the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland; muscular manliness in the Irish Diaspora; Orangewomen and political agency; the disruptive possibility of the rural bachelor; and aspirational constructions of boyhood. Several essays explore how masculinity is constructed and performed by women, thus emphasizing the necessity of differentiating masculinity from maleness. These essays demonstrate the value of gender and masculinities for historical research and the transformative potential of these concepts in how we envision Ireland’s past, present, and future.

This book engages with ageing masculinities in Irish literature and visual culture, including fiction, drama, poetry, painting, and documentary. Exploring the shifting representations of older men from the early twentieth century to the present, the contributors analyse how a broad range of literary and visual texts construct, reinscribe, or challenge perceptions of older age. In doing so, they trace a shift from depictions of authority figures - often symbolising patriarchal dominance and oppression - to more nuanced, complex, and heterogeneous explorations of older men's embodied subjectivities and vulnerabilities. Exploring artists and writers such as Seán Keating, J.M. Synge, Teresa Deevy, Marina Carr, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Derek Mahon, Kate O'Brien, John Banville, Colm Tóibín, Bernard MacLaverty, Mike McCormack, Anne Griffin, and Claire Keegan, the essays in this collection attend to the symbolic as well as social significance of older men in Irish cultural expression.

The purpose of this study is to explore how male descendants of working class Irish immigrants come to understand their masculinity. the research will illuminate the experience of ten men who grew up both within the Irish-American culture and the working class environment. They came from families who directly and indirectly passed on the rules and norms of this seldom studied social class and culture. This study identified the influences which matured these individuals into men. the data collected for this study used qualitative interviews and analysis employing a phenomenological methodology. Numerous themes emerged from the study, but only those acknowledged by at least six of the men interviewed were included in the discussion. Themes include: their Irish heritage; their relationship with their parents, particularly their fathers; the impact of the Roman Catholic Church; the effect of organized sports, fighting, and drinking alcohol; the importance of working hard and providing for their families; their choice of heroes and being generative. These themes were congruent with the findings of other scholarly writings, suggesting that these influences and ways of living are passed from generation to generation, and healing the wounds that result from this intergenerational conflict, between fathers and sons, improves the sense of self-worth for all involved. It also provides a glimpse into the world of the Irish American family. the results of this novel study provided data for fields such as counseling psychology, sociology; working class studios, gender study, and education, concluding with implications for further research.
