This dramatic text is an adaptation of the Čapek brothers’ play: života hmyzu (1921) and, although it owes its episodic structure and general concept to its Czech source, it is characterized by its use of language and its relationship to Irish regionalism. Specifically, the relationship between insects and their spatiality, and the way their orality provides a specific form of identity, as in the case of the Dublin beetles and the Cork crickets, among others.\n\nThe literary production of Myles na gCopaleen questions the significance and the use of human language and, in particular, in Rhapsody in Stephen’s Green it explores the possibility of an animal language and its relationship to Irish society. If the only boundary between man and animal could be established by language and the nominal capacity of the word, how does these insects’ particular use of language challenge the meaning and performance of oral interactions along with their identity correspondence? Rhapsody in Stephen’s Green fue escrita por Myles na gCopaleen, también conocido como Flann O’Brien o Brian O’Nolan. Este texto dramático es una adaptación de la obra de los hermanos Čapek: života hmyzu (1921) y, aunque le debe la estructura episódica y el concepto general a su fuente checa, se caracteriza por su uso del lenguaje y su relación con el regionalismo irlandés. Específicamente, la relación de los insectos con su espacialidad y en cómo la oralidad proporciona un tipo específico de identidad como en el caso de los escarabajos de Dublín y los grillos de Cork, entre otros.\n\nLa producción literaria de Myles na gCopaleen es conocida por cuestionar el significado y el uso del lenguaje humano y, en particular, en Rhapsody in Stephen’s Green explora la posibilidad de un lenguaje animal y su relación con la sociedad irlandesa. Si el único límite entre el hombre y el animal podría ser trazado por el lenguaje y la capacidad nominal de la palabra, ¿cómo es que el uso particular del lenguaje por parte de estos insectos cuestiona el significado y el desempeño de las interacciones orales junto con su correspondencia identitaria? application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/10747 10.34096/interlitteras.n3.10747 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/10747/9469 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/10747/9487 Inter Litteras; Núm. 3 (2021); 154-170 2683-9695 0328-8935 Rhapsody in Stephen's Green Myles na gCopaleen language identity insects Rhapsody in Stephen's Green Myles na gCopaleen lenguaje identidad insectos Insect language and communication in Myles na gCopaleen’s Rhapsody in Stephen’s Green Lenguaje y comunicación de insectos en Rhapsody in Stephen’s Green de Myles na gCopaleen info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=interlit&d=10747_oai
