Flann O’Brien and the Question of National Identity
Stipe Grgas
; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska
Sažetak
The theoretical background from which the author initiates his argument is the contention
that the phenomenon of nationalism has been dangerously undertheorized and,
consequentially, inadequately differentiated. In the central part of his article he goes
on to argue how the recognition of the specificity of Irish literary texts necessitates
the application of the national parameter. To corroborate this claim the author shows
the need for a more analytic and differentiated approach to the concept of nationalism.
The bulk of the paper is devoted to an analysis of how even such a decidedly
modernist writer as Flann O’Brien is unimaginable outside the enabling conditions
of his national identity.
