New directions in Celtic studies

The primary aim of this work is to focus on contemporary issues and to promote interdisciplinary approaches within the subject.

Written by international scholars and practitioners in fields such as folklore, ethnomusicology, art history, religious studies, tourism and education, the book brings together in one volume a wide range of perspectives.

It responds to the recent questioning of the viability of the notion of "Celticity" and the idea of Celtic Studies as a discipline and points to a renewed vitality in the subject.

This work is divided into four sections: popular culture and representation; commodities and Celtic lifestyles; contemporary Celtic identity and the Celtic diaspora; and Celtic praxis.
