Sažetak
Field Day was founded in 1980 as an artistic intervention into the deadly stalemate of the Northern Irish ‘Troubles’. Initially a theatre company, it quickly developed into a much larger cultural enterprise, and some of the most important contributions to the development of Irish Studies have been published under its banner ; in particular, Field Day has been credited with introducing postcolonial thinking into Irish cultural and historical discourses. This presentation will introduce this group and its activities, and outline the political context into which it was launched, in a manner that will highlight how Field Day’s ambitions were, to an extent, defined by a desire to explore the ways in which art might (pace W.H. Auden) make something happen, and a diffidence about its ability to do so.
