The Irish Revolution Douban
other title: 爱尔兰革命
After the failed insurrection of 1916, revolutionary Ireland reorganized and devised new tactics that would eventually lead to the country's independence. Such important figures as Michael Collins and Éamon de Valera emerged on the world media stage as leaders of the Irish revolutionary struggle, facing British political heavyweights such as Winston Churchill and Lloyd George. The tactics, both in guerrilla warfare and in radicalizing the Irish population, would eventually force a British withdrawal and a treaty leading to an independent Irish state.

100 YEARS OF ULYSSES (2022)
100 YEARS OF ULYSSES Douban
other title: 百年尤利西斯
100年前的1922年2月2日,詹姆斯·乔伊斯历时7年完成的长篇小说《尤利西斯》几经周折之后,在当时还名不见经传的巴黎莎士比亚书店出版了单行本。7年间乔伊斯颠沛流离,家境困难,而终于问世的这部著作,对之后100年间的文学和文化都产生深远影响,可以说,没有任何一部20世纪的小说能与《尤利西斯》的影响力相媲美。 尽管乔伊斯的史诗被誉为意识流小说的代表作,是现代主义的杰作和文学表达的革命,直接激励了建筑大师艾琳·格雷、电影导演谢尔盖·爱森斯坦、摄影与雕塑大师曼·雷、音乐创作者鲍勃·迪伦等不同领域的创作者的灵感,然而这本书最初却在美国和英国被禁,并长期在爱尔兰受到抵制。乔伊斯被指向爱尔兰天主教会开战,背弃了自己祖国的人民,无视爱尔兰为独立而进行的长期斗争——就在1922年《尤利西斯》出版前仅几周,这一运动随着爱尔兰自由邦的建立而达到高潮。 然而今天,乔伊斯和《尤利西斯》正在爱尔兰及世界范围内被重新考量。新的学术研究指出,乔伊斯的对天主教会和民族主义战争的态度,可能恰恰源于他对爱尔兰人民和文化深情和深刻的承诺。《尤利西斯》更像是一个预言性文本,为爱尔兰,也为欧洲和其他国家想象了一个更好的未来。为纪念该书出版100周年而摄制的纪录片《百年尤利西斯》由历史学家弗兰克·卡拉南(Frank Callanan)策划、鲁恩·麦根(Ruán Magan)导演,以著名作家与学者的丰富访谈、极具启发性的档案影像、以及如诗的情境,将观众重新带入当代的奥德修斯之旅与尤利西斯的凝视中。
