Les êtres surnaturels ont toujours eu une place prépondérante dans le folklore irlandais. En effet, les mythes et légendes irlandais font référence à la banshee, au pooka, aux fantômes, sans parler de l’ubiquiteux leprechaun, par exemple. Dès sa fondation à la fin du XIXème siècle le Théâtre National Irlandais s’appuyait sur ce folklore et s’en inspirait, à l’instar de W.B. Yeats et de Lady Gregory. Cependant, depuis l’indépendance en 1922 ces références se font plus rares. Est-ce une évolution naturelle liée à l’essor du modernisme et du post-modernisme dans le monde ou y-t-il des raisons plus spécifiques, plus irlandaises ? / Supernatural beings have always played an important role in Irish folklore. Indeed, many myths and legends are peopled with ghosts and creatures such as the banshee, the pooka, and the ubiquitous leprechaun. This folklore proved to be a solid foundation for the Irish National Theatre from its very inception at the close of the nineteenth century, and an inspiration to several of its founding members, including W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory. However, since independence in 1922, references to Irish folkore have become less and less common. Is this just a natural phenomenon due to the rise of modernism and post modernism? Or are there more specific, more Irish reasons for this evolution ?

Thesis advisor: Marjorie Howes / This dissertation is situated within the opening field of Irish literary and musical interdisciplinary studies and argues that a scholarly focus on the presence of music within Irish literature and culture opens new readings and perspectives. Drawing on cultural studies and musicology, I focus on the musical moment as a limited space during which identities and relationships are dynamically refigured. Through this approach, I look at the formations of communal and individual identities in and through musical performances, the production of gendered identities through music, and musical constructions of memory and the past. The first two chapters of my study deal specifically with the development of gendered identities through musical performance. Chapter 1 focuses on William Butler Yeats' and Augusta Gregory's variations on the trope of the male wandering musician as reflected in their writings on the Galway singer and poet Anthony Raftery, and the effects of Yeats' interest in Raftery on the evolution of his poetic persona, Red Hanrahan. I argue that Raftery, as introduced to Yeats by Lady Gregory, was pivotal to the evolution of Yeats' self-image as a national poet and helped to define his thoughts on poetry as a performed and musical art. Chapter 2 focuses on opera as a venue for an increased range of personal expression for female characters in Joyce. In it, I argue that the strictly disciplined nature of operatic roles allow Julia Morkan of "The Dead" and Molly Bloom of Ulysses a level of agility with gender identity otherwise unavailable to them. Chapter 3 moves from the gendered individual to communal and national identity as reflected in the musical events at the 1932 Eucharistic Congress in Dublin. In it, I argue that the musical performances throughout this event briefly opened a unique social space in which contradictory versions of Irish identity could coexist. Finally, Chapter 4 moves ahead to the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, focusing on Roddy Doyle's approaches to communal musical experience, the negotiations of identities through music, and constructions of memory through music in The Commitments and The Guts. Here, I consider the issues of cultural connections and appropriations examined by critics of The Commitments and extend these questions to a reading of The Guts. Drawing on Arjun Appadurai's work on the mobility of cultures and the availability of the past as "raw material" for the present, I argue that The Guts shows how a fraudulent "found" recording of a fictional singer can provide a needed ancestor who articulates a needed narrative of defiance and survival for a 2012 audience. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2014. / Submitted to: Boston College.
