Ciaran Carson: space, place, writing

Abstract

The main stumbling block, it seems to me, concerns the ambiguous relationship between nationalism and postnationalism in Kearney's framework.although he is energetically critical of the conceptual foundations and political functioning of the nation-state, Kearney still appears to regard the nation as a worthwhile and necessary focus for communal identifications which should be salvaged and recuperated within the new postnationalist order. in this regard, he remains bound by the very conceptual and ideological constraints that he sets out to undermine and supersede.For a more detailed critique of Kearney's thinking along similar lines to these see Colin graham, Deconstructing Ireland:
