Irish Migration Studies in Latin America

The interest in Irish literature and culture of a group of teachers of English as a foreign language, led to, in early 2007, Ireland landing in La Pampa as a field of study and research, and as a clear proof that in a global world of diasporas, certain antagonisms are no longer possible. The ‘Irish in Argentina: Recuperation of literary sources, translation and criticism ’ project, to give it its full name, is an experimental development and involves teacher-researchers in charge of different areas of literature, culture and translation from the Faculty of Human Sciences at the National University of La Pampa, Argentina. One of the objectives of this project is the analysis of the reception of Irish literature in Argentina, through the recuperation of various texts that represent the multiplicity of the Irish subject and can be found in periodical publications. Another important aspect on which our research is based is the translation of critical, theoretical and fictional essays into Spanish. In this way, contemporary critical literary and socio-cultural debate will be enriched from a comparative perspective. All of this will contribute to the dissemination of Irish culture and the reinforcement of intercultural relations. Driving goats on the Pampa
