| Résumé : | This article puts forward a reading of revisionism from the perspective of the interpretative reversal which took place inside continental theory. When the postmodern paradigm is spread out over this phenomenon of revisitation of Irish history, one realizes that organic and intimate links unite these two schools. Both present an identical epistemological starting point, an identical methodology and similar philosophical tendencies. More surprising still is the fact that the contents of the criticisms raised against them converge and sometimes resemble each other word for word. It tries also to give a brief survey of the intellectual frontier which separates Irish theorists from Irish revisionists. Their implicit message is that the researcher cannot free himself from an ideological structure without irresistibly falling into the opposing structure. On the contrary, revisionists tend to think that whatever the degree of ideologization of the researcher, he can intervene against ideology, loosen its grip by hermeneutic procedures which strangely recall techniques invented by continental theory |
