En este libro, los editores han reunido una colección de 37 ensayos escritos por especialistas de siete países, que versan sobre el papel de los registros de lo Imaginario y lo Real en la construcción de las representaciones socioculturales de Irlanda. La economía, política e historia de Irlanda, la variedad de su tejido sociológico, su cine y literatura, su prensa y fotografía, las influencias de ida y vuelta con vascos y gallegos, son objeto de estudio en estos ensayos, que van precedidos de una reflexión teórica de los editores sobre las concomitancias entre los nudos celtas característicos de la iconografía irlandesa y los nudos que estructuran el motor de la psique humana según Lacan. La cultura de los manuscritos iluminados -que acogen los más bellos nudos celtas- le ha proporcionado a los editores siete términos en torno a los cuales organizar los ensayos de su 'nudo irlandés' particular.In "The Irish Knot" the editors have put together a collection of thirty-seven essays written by specialists from seven different countries, dealing with the role played by the realms od the Imaginary and the Real in the construction of the socio-cultural representations of Ireland. Their approaches to the economy, politics and history of Ireland, her varied sociological network, her cinema, literature, press and photography, as well as to the crosscurrents with Basques ands Galicians, are preceded by the editors' theoretical reflection on the points of coincidence between the Celtic knotwork patterns and the knots that structure the motor of the human psyche according to Jacques Lacan. The culture of illuminated manuscripts -where the most beautiful Irish knots are lodged- has provided the editors with seven terms around which to organize the essays of this their own 'Irish knot'.
