Yesterday writers, lawyers and academics met in the Abbey's Peacock Stage to discuss Sophocles' Antigone. Dialogues between Darren Murphy and Eugene McNulty; Marina Carr and Melissa Sihra; Carlo Gébler and Paul Delaney. Thanks to everyone who came along. @irishhumanities.bsky.social

As #internationallaw is put on pressure, Sophocles’ Antigone is an age-old referent of its material source. And a reminder that you can deny/diminish its effective power as ‘higher law’ but you cannot eliminate its heartbeat. Our sensibility to suffered injustice & calls to ‘Justice herself’

The legal humanities are a global phenomenon. Read why the IHA now has an established working group in this area from our WG Co-Chair @adamhanna.bsky.social @ucc.ie www.irishhumanities.com/blog/the-leg...

The IHA Legal Humanities Working Group is proud to announce bookings are now open for Antigone and Ireland: A Symposium in the Legal Humanities. 1 May on the Peacock Stage. Including including Justice Brian Cregan, Marina Carr, Carlo Gébler and Darren Murphy. www.eventbrite.ie/e/antigone-a...
