Sommario/riassunto

Ce volume célèbre la rencontre des cultures irlandaise et française. Il met l’accent sur la richesse et la variété des échanges qui se sont déployés sous formes de lectures et d’écritures croisées, et ce jusqu’à l’époque moderne. On trouve dans cet ouvrage un écho des entrelacs multiples sur lesquels plusieurs auteurs apportent des regards critiques, en mettant l’accent sur les enrichissements réciproques qui



se sont opérés. Les rencontres évoquées renvoient à des champs pluriels, incluant la littérature, l’histoire de la pensée, et même l’histoire des théories économiques. Le champ d’exploration retenu ne se limite pas à la période contemporaine, mais inclut des regards posés sur le passé. Malgré les décalages, les hiatus dans le temps et dans l’Histoire entre l’Irlande et la France - et des imaginaires différents - ces cultures se sont rencontrées sous des formes originales dont quelques aspects sont évoqués ici.
