The Easter Rising, Dublin 1916

The Irish Republic has organised a whole year of commemorations of the centenary of the Easter Rising, which took place on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916. It was one of the founding events of the Irish Republic, but was and remains an equivocal and divisive rebellion. It is an excellent topic for a Lieux et formes du pouvoir theme and presents opportunities for an EPI with history and geography.
