Organized by the Brazilian Association of Irish Studies in South America (ABEI) and the W.B. Yeats Chair of Irish Studies, the XV Symposium of Irish Studies in South America intended to promote virtual encounters between scholars from many fields across the continent and the globe.
The history of nations has been marked by several traumatic events such as revolutions, lost wars, fall of empires, plagues, market collapses and their subsequent outcomes: unemployment, forced migrations, genocides, terrorism, famines among others.
Thus, the XV Symposium of Irish Studies in South America is an invitation for academics to connect in order to contemplate the ways in which global crises have shaped the arts, literature, and culture. It is also an opportunity to reflect upon the struggles the world has been facing against an invisible common enemy.
