Geofeminism in Irish and Diasporic Culture: Intimate Cartographies demonstrates the ways in which contemporary feminist Irish and diasporic authors, such as Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Tana French, cross borders literally (in terms of location), ideologically (in terms of syncretive politics and faiths), figuratively (in terms of conventions and canonicity), and linguistically to develop an epistemological “Fifth Space” of cultural actualization beyond borders. This book contextualizes their work with regard to events in Irish and diasporic history and considers these authors in relation to other more established counterparts such as W.B. Yeats, P.H. Pearse, James Joyce, and Mairtín Ó Cadhain. Exploring the intersections of postcolonial cultural geography, transnational feminisms, and various theologies, Christin M. Mulligan engages with media from the ninth century to present day and considers how these writer-cartographers reshape Ireland both as real landscape and fantasy island, traversed in order to negotiate place in terms of terrain and subjectivity both within and outside of history in the realm of desire.

“Through close reading and diligent theoretical frameworks … this study gracefully traverses time and space. … This is an admittedly ambitious study, traversing genres, languages, canons, genders, oceans, and centuries. … given the design of its scope and purpose, it admirably achieves both breadth and depth. Offering us a relatively new voice in Irish Studies, this monograph offers us a glimpse into the possibilities and energy … . Her analysis is rigorous and her conclusions are unapologetically hopeful … .” (Christine Cusick, Estudios Irlandeses, Vol. 17, 2022)
