| Summary, etc. |
This article draws on Zygmunt Bauman's concept `legislator' - the intellectual practice of modernity - to explore the relationship between Irish intellectuals and modernity. The case study selected for this purpose is the intellectual debate that took place around the making of Dublin's first modern art collection, which led to the opening of the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in 1908. Its premise is that art collections are the outcome of intellectual practices, which legitimate and define their role. Overall, this example is used to investigate the complex ways in which Irish intellectuals sought to renegotiate Ireland's relation to modernity, a discourse that positioned it as a `peripheral' country. The article concludes by saying that the making of a modern art collection was used as a means to renegotiate a more constructive view of Ireland, and suggests `modernities' as a term that captures the various intellectual practices of modernity. - Reproduced. |
