The aim of this series is to offer insights into key moments in the story of Irish popular culture since the publication of Thomas Moore’s Irish Melodies in the early nineteenth century. If the story of transnational Irish popular culture begins with Thomas Moore in the early nineteenth century, it wasn’t until the end of the 1800s that writers and intellectuals began to theorize the impact of mass cultural production on the Irish psyche during the industrial century. In 1892 Douglas Hyde, sounding the keynote of the Irish Revival, wrote that: ‘the present art products of one of the quickest, most sensitive, and most artistic races on earth are now only distinguished for their hideousness’. In the course of his influential essay, ‘The Necessity for De-Anglicising Ireland’, he built up a narrative of Irish cultural degeneration brought on by the un-thinking absorption of what he perceived to be vulgar British pop culture.

In his book, On the Shores of Politics, Jacques Ranciere argues that the Western Platonic project of utopian politics has been based upon ‘an anti-maritime polemic’. The treacherous boundaries of the political are imagined as island shores, riverbanks, and abysses. Its enemies are the mutinous waves and the drunken sailor. ‘In order to save politics’, writes Ranciere, ‘it must be pulled aground among the shepherds’. And yet, as Ranciere points out, this always entails the paradox that to found a new utopian island, safe from the perils of sailors and the sea, means crossing the sea once more.1 Margaret Cohen, in an article surveying the turn towards maritime themes in twenty-first century literary criticism, argues that literary scholars have historically fixed their gazes upon land, with an effort ‘so spectacular that it might be called hydrophasia’. But that hydrophasia appears to be ebbing, and the new attention given to the sea, as what Hester Blum calls ‘a proprioceptive point of inquiry’, in Oceanic Studies, the New Atlantic Studies, and the Archipelagic paradigm gathering strength in British and Irish Studies, promises some degree of liberation from the terra firma overdeterminations of nationalism within literary studies.
