Beschreibung:
This work takes the reader from the contested iconography of Dublin as it evolved in the early part of the 20th century before Independence through to the contemporary plans for the millennium spire on O'Connell Street.
Part 1 Unravelling the cultural geographies of landscape: interrogating the cultural landscape. Part 2 City of empire, site of resistance: representing empire; contested identities and the monumental landscape; naming Dublin - imperial power, nationalist resistance. Part 3 A capital once again - reinventing post-independence Dublin: symbolizing the state - planning, power and the architecture of nationhood; scripting public memory - the power of public monuments; removing icons of empire; street naming and nation building in Dublin; the power of space - towards a postmodern iconography.
