In Laurence Olivier's celebrated screen adaptation (1944) of Shakespeare's history play "Henry V" one of the key scenes is the so-called 'four nations' scene, which brings together representatives of the four so-called home nations to discuss politics and the mechanics of war. The question posed by Macmorris, the Irish captain, points to one of the most controversial issues ("What ish my nation?"), not only in the obvious field of political discourse (in Shakespeare's time, during WWII, in our time), but also in Cultural Studies generally.
Films to be discussed include among others:
England: "A Room With a View", "The Remains of the Day", "Shakespeare in Love", "Anonymous", "Bend It Like Beckham", "Bride and Prejudice", "This Is England"; Scotland: "Ae Fond Kiss", "Braveheart", "Trainspotting"; Ireland: "Man of Aran", "The Quiet Man", "Adam and Paul", "The Guard".
