Hunger Strikes Post-Celtic Tiger Ireland: Eating Disorders in Contemporary Women's Writing

这个项目将是第一个关于21世纪爱尔兰女性写作中自我饥饿的完整研究。它认为，爱尔兰女性写作中存在着对厌食症的痴迷描述，这一亚流派目前正享受着前所未有的商业成功和评论界的好评，萨莉·鲁尼小说的巨大成功就是例证。这种繁荣的基础是后凯尔特之虎时期(2008-)女权主义和女权的可见度增加。我的研究将分析厌食症的双重含义，即对被爱尔兰天主教和民族主义强化的父权教义的反叛和顺从。

This project will be the first full-length study of self-starvation in twenty-first century writing by Irish women. It argues that there is an obsessive depiction of anorexia in Irish women's writing, a subgenre currently enjoying unprecedented commercial success and critical acclaim, exemplified by the runaway success of Sally Rooney's novels. Underpinning this boom is the increase in visibility of feminism and women's rights in the post-Celtic Tiger period (2008-). My research will analyse the dual meanings of anorexia as both a rebellion against and conformity to patriarchal doctrines reinforced by Catholicism and nationalism in Ireland.
