Troubled Departures: Migration and the Afterlife of the Northern Irish Conflict in Nick Laird's Fiction
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This article examines the representation of migration in Nick Laird's novels Utterly Monkey (2004) and Modern Gods (2014) within the context of recent Northern Irish fiction and its recurring themes. While contemporary fiction writers continue to address the Northern Ireland conflict and its aftermath, Laird's texts expand upon this discourse by focusing on an often overlooked theme: the (e)migration (in)directly resulting from the conflict. Offering a brief history of emigration from the province and related themes in migration literature, the article provides a comparative analysis of the two novels. It demonstrates how Laird portrays characters navigating identity negotiations and grappling with tensions between cultural and identity continuity and reinvention as they move from Northern Ireland, both within and outside the UK. Drawing on theories about migration literature and identity formation, the article argues that, while not unique, Laird's nuanced portrayal of migration captures its profound psychological and emotional impact, revealing how Northern Ireland's turbulent history continues to shape the identities and experiences of those who leave its borders.
