Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Contemporary Irish Memoir, language: English, abstract: This term paper is devoted to the problem of language, raised in the memoir "Thin places" (quoted as T. P.) by the Northern Irish writer Kerri ni¿ Dochartaigh. By its formal and content-related features, this autobiographical book can be categorised as new nature writing. The main aim of this work is to examine the ways the genre-specific features manifest themselves through the problem of language ¿ its critical status, interlinkedness with ethnic roots and native land, and the possible measures to preserve and revive it. The statement, hence, is the following: the problem of language, raised in "Thin Places" by Kerri ni¿ Dochartaigh, helps to reveal the genre specificities of new nature writing in the book. The paper is divided into two chapters: "Behind the Book" and "Thin Places as New Nature Writing". In the former, there are two sections. Successively, the genre specificities of life writing and new nature writing will be considered, and their combination within the realms of one book will be addressed. In addition, some background information about Kerri ni¿ Dochartaigh and her professional path as a nature author will be represented.
