Amcanion cyffredinol
This module will look at how the concept of the ‘Celt’ and ‘Celts’ has been formed, used (and rejected) in the modern period, with reference made to a range of disciplines (e.g. linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, art, music, literature, politics). Consideration will be given to what is considered ‘Celtic’ material in the different fields, and the main arguments in forming a meaning to the term. The ideological reasons for using these concepts will be considered and the influence of this on the ethnic and national identity/identities of the ‘Celts’ themselves. This module runs in tandem with the module ‘The Celt: Sources of Evidence’, which is also compulsory in the MA ‘Y Celtiaid – The Celts’. This module moves the focus from the empirical to the interpretive, and the use of those interpretations.
Cynnwys cwrs
There will be four main fields from which material will be drawn (these contiguous fields will not necessarily be taught as separate units), namely:
- Changing attitudes towards the ‘Celt’ in academic fields: i.e., changes in methodology and ideology in areas such as linguistics, archaeology, literature.
- The ‘Celts’ in artistic media apart from literature (e.g., art, music)
- The ‘Celts’ in the Romantic period, considering how medieval literature was rediscovered and reinterpreted (especially Welsh and Irish literature); figures such as Ossian and Iolo Morganwg may be considered, and also the development of Celtic Studies as an academic subject in European universities.
- The political ‘Celt’: theories of nationalism, and the part played by ‘Celticity’ in the politics of the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries.
Students may also continue their study of a Celtic language.
