Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brandeis University, 1999.

This dissertation is based on fourteen months of anthropological field research in Gleann Cholmcille, an Irish-speaking community in the northwest of Ireland propelled into the transnational arena as a result of economic revitalization. In order to ascertain how post-colonial/still-colonial peoples attempt to acquire alternative identities, I examine a wide distribution of media, i.e., testimonial narrative, motivational speech, bodily movement in ritual space, tapestry weaving, autobiography, journalistic reporting, and the discourse of museum display. Each of these media is presented under the rubric of "the self-representational genre." When balanced against historical representations by (1)�the English colonizer, (2)�the twentieth-century nation-state, and (3)�the Roman Catholic Church, each reveals processual configurations of identity ranging from a thinly-disguised appropriation of colonialist discourse, as in the case of autobiography, to much more subtle and contextual negotiations, as is revealed in motivational speech and journalism. I argue that all of these "self-representational genres" become salient resources capable of revealing multi-nuanced perspectives on Irish selfhood.

520 $a My work contributes to the literature on life-stories and life-histories by going beyond ethnographies which present the single voice or the individual actor as representative of collective/communal energies. Another advantage of this study lies in its provision of a cross-cultural model for scholars concerned with the question of how other post-colonial/still colonial identities are reshaped and reconceptualized.
