Ireland is a small country on the western seaboard of Europe; despite its small population significant millions of people all over the world proudly assert that they are either Irish born or are direct descendants. Culturally the Irish are very sociable, intelligent, artistic and great achievers (ExplorerShackleton; ScienceHamilton; PhysicsWalton; InventionHolland; Literature; Joyce, Shaw, Yeats, Heaney). Such enduring qualities predate those exponents above by thousands of years. Before the advent of Christianity in the 5th century the recounting of all tribal history, law, poetry and sagas was passed from generation to generation orally. The professions (poetry, medicine, law, history, bui...

The Irish Civil War ended in 1923. Eighty years on, documentary-maker Tom Hurley wondered if there were many civilians and combatants left from across Ireland who had experienced the years 1919 to 1923, their prelude and their aftermath. What memories had they, what were their stories and how did they reflect on those turbulent times? In early 2003, he recorded the experiences of 18 people, conducting 2 further interviews abroad in 2004. Tom spoke to a cross section (Catholic, Protestant, Unionist and Nationalist) who were in their teens or early twenties during the civil war. The chronological approach he has taken spans 50 years, beginning with the oldest interviewee's birth in 1899 and ending when the Free State became a republic in 1949. Last Voices of the Irish Revolution.

Tornou-se lugar comum dizer que a democracia está ameaçada ou então queé causa da confusão a que sociedades se veem submetidas. Tempos atrás, considerava-se sua exigência formal mero pretexto para intervenções de países mais fortes sobre mais fracos. Isso não constitui novidade e parte pode ser remontada ‘aos gregos’. O problema é que lugar aceitamos atribuir a cada uma das crianças maravilha, dos ‘Muitos’ que compõem os ambientes onde nos toca viver e perceber a morte, tornando-os parte das construções de (des)mundos possíveis, multifacetados. O livro de Irene Portela deriva sobretudo da experiência de pouco mais de um século da Irlanda desde o processo que redundou na separação do Reino Unido para apontar caminhos que, embora não devam ser encarados como ideais, muitas vezes ‘a duras penas’ e com sobressaltos, garantiram modos de escuta, de ‘consideração’ dos ‘Muitos’, consolidando vivências intensas de democracia, formal e prática, o que pode, deseja-se, bafejar ‘experimentos’ análogos no mundo em que nos cabe estar.
