<p><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"garamond",serif;color:black">This presentation approaches fairy belief narratives as indigenous knowledge, as cultural memory, and meaningful connection to the land and sites upon and within it.
On the Irish landscape, there exist so-called “fairy places”, especially “fairy trees” (hawthorn) and “fairy forts” (ringforts). The Irish mythology records the aos sí, the mythical “people of the mounds” who inhabit the “hollow hills”, living underground
beneath their human neighbours. The term “fairy” came to be used during the colonisation of Ireland when the population was forced to speak English instead of Gaelic and when the placenames were anglicised, thus losing meanings found in the native language.
This, alongside many processes of change and modernisation, led to a disconnection of people and place particularly with regard to general awareness of how the otherworldly realm is intertwined with the physical terrain in the traditional worldview. This presentation
explores the present-day status of fairy lore and connection to these sites. Based in ethnographic research in Ireland, reference will also be made to comparative research findings in Iceland and in Newfoundland, Canada.</span></i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#1D2228"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
