Unmasking the Halloween carnival in Derry: impersonation, temporality, race and identity

Abstract

This thesis engages with questions about the ‘post-conflict’ period in the north of Ireland through an examination of the Halloween carnival in Derry City. It proposes that this carnival provides a lens through which to view some key issues about post-conflict culture and identity via an examination of the carnivalesque, of aberrant post-colonial temporality and of impersonation.
