About
My Ph.D. dissertation - which I am currently writing - aims at analysing the interpretative mechanisms that highlight the supposed “Irishness” of a selection of stories or tales by Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862).
Using the reception theory, the study will enquire on displacement effects, and will consider how far projection, as an optical and psychological phenomenon, can lead to optical illusions and maybe obsessive notions of what is, or should be, the Irish short story.
The object of this thesis will be to study publications in the British Isles as well as in the United States or on the European continent, at a time when movements of people, ideas and texts were intense. The reception of the texts in different countries will be analysed and searched in order to know whether there was or not a particular policy in periodicals such as Household Words or Harper’s New Monthly Magazine. The aim of the study will also be to take stock of the main critical works on the 19th Century Irish short story in order to detect possible specific interpretative mechanisms aiming at “re-nationalising” the texts.
