Abstract

Heart of a Peach and "Are We Such Savages?" Mary Beckett's Fiction and the Failure of Social Mobility' is a PhD thesis comprising two components: a novel and a critical essay. My novel, Heart of a Peach, is structured in two chronological parts: part one is set in Ardoyne, a Catholic working-class area in Belfast, 1981, the year Bobby Sands died, and part two in a university in London, 2005, the year of the London bombings. The two main characters are an ex-parachute regiment soldier who served in Belfast and who is now a porter, and a native woman of Ardoyne who is now an art history lecturer: both work at the same university. Thematically, the novel is concerned with: emotional and sexual repression, surveillance and public space and the failure of social mobility. These themes are further examined in my critical essay. Formally, the work combines realistic storytelling with experimental methods, and is written in close third person through a continuous present tense. The critical essay examines and discuss the work of Mary Beckett, (1926-2013), a Belfast-born writer whose small output of finely wrought short stories, radio plays and one novella make a shrewd contribution to the fictional narrative histories of Northern Irish working-class women. Beckett worked in Ardoyne, the same area of Belfast I write about in my novel. Looking at her two collections of short stories, A Belfast Woman and A Literary Woman together with her novel Give Them Stones, I address the overarching theme of the failure of social mobility in three chapters: 'Displacement', 'Desired Acts of Unfeminine Violence' and 'Shame and Belonging' drawing upon relevant fictional sources and first person oral history accounts from the period of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. There is currently little substantive research on Beckett's work, save for a few interviews and brief mentions in larger survey works of Northern Irish writing; it is my aim therefore that my research will provide new and original knowledge in this area.

Abstract

Com es formalitza la divisió d'una ciutat? Com es pot arribar a dissoldre posteriorment? A través de l'estudi de tres ciutats haguent patit una divisió arrel d'un conflicte durant el segle XX, aquest treball proposa estudiar de quina manera una línea de tall en una ciutat dividida esdevé part de l'estructura urbana de la ciutat futura. Durant la Guerra Freda el "Berliner Mauer" va dividir Berlín Est i Oest entre 1961 i 1989. La "Green Line" va tallar la ciutat de Beirut entre 1975 i 1989, durant la guerra civil libanesa. El període dels "Troubles" a Irlanda del Nord (1969-1998) va generar l'aparició d'estructures divisòries anomenades les "Peace Lines" en tota la ciutat de Belfast. Ens preguntem quina arquitectura, quina estructura urbana i quin impacte social ténen aquestes línees divisòries avui en dia en les tres ciutats, dos o tres dècades post-conflicte., Como se formaliza la división de una ciudad? Como puede llegar ésta a disolverse posteriormente? A través del estudio de tres ciudades habiendo sufrido una división a cause de un conflicto durante el siglo XX, este trabajo propone estudiar de qué manera una línea de corte en una ciudad dividida pasa a formar parte de la estructura urbana de la ciudad futura. Durante la Guerra Fría, el "Berliner Mauer" dividió Berlín Este i Oeste entre 1961 i 1989. La "Green Line" cortó la ciudad de Beirut entre 1975 i 1989, durante la guerra civil libanesa. El período de los "Troubles" en Irlanda del Norte (1969-1998) conllevó la aparición de estructuras divisorias llamadas las "Peace Lines" en toda la ciudad de Belfast.

How can it be dissolved afterwards? By studying three cities which suffered a division in the context of a XXth century conflict, this paper questions the way in which a cut in a city can become part of the future city's urban structure. During the Cold War, the "Berliner Mauer" separated East Berlin from West Berlin from 1961 until 1989. Beirut's "Green Line" split the city between 1975 and 1989, during the Lebanese Civil War. During the Troubles period in Northern Ireland (1969-1998), several dividing structures called the "Peace Walls"emerged throughout Belfast.

Abstract

Nell'ambito della sezione su Belfast curata dall'autrice in collaborazione, si affronta il tema della città multiculturale partendo dal contesto estremo della città nordirlandese, nella quale le diversità culturali hanno condotto al conflitto noto come "Troubles". Durante il conflitto tra le comunità cattolica (nazionalista) e protestante (loialista) la città ha subito profondi e laceranti mutamenti il cui emblema è rappresentato dalle "peacelines".
