A nation is constantly transformed throughout its history, as politics, culture and identity have always been intertwined in the Irish experience. People strive to create a future based on shared memories and cultural codices which configure new systems and socio-historical structures. The XI Symposium on Irish Studies in South America aims, therefore, at signaling the manifold ways in which Ireland has been narrated in the past, present and likely future tenses at local, national and international domains. This symposium looks forward to understanding the various transformations Ireland has undergone; from the time it was a laboratory of the British Empire to contemporaneity. These processes have placed Ireland at the crossroads of crucial historical moments that have propelled her through the following centuries. These roads do not respect the symmetry of a figural cross; rather, the trajectories aimed here are suggestive, multiple and mobile. Proposals for participation in specific panels or for individual papers and posters could discuss contemporary Ireland at the crossroads of disciplines, such as History, Cultural Translation, Literature, Women Studies, Sociology, Migration Studies, among others.
