“…130 The third, the Book of Leinster, preserves an early vernacular adaptation of De excidio Troiae historia (' A History of the Destruction of Troy') by Dares Phrygius, whose infl uence on vernacular narrative literature was extensive and profound. 131 Irish scholars were clearly immersed and engaged in the intellectual currents of their day .…”

These parallels were discussed by Denis Casey in a lecture he presented on 'Carmain' at a conference arising out of 'The Óenach Project' in Cork, March 2012. I am grateful to Dr Casey for sending me a draft version of his work on the poem. 12 See, for example, AU (Mac Airt), s.a. 1016.6, on which occasion Donnchad killed the Leinster ruler with whom Máel Sechnaill had formed an alliance (and Chron.

“…Segundo O'Connor, desde por volta do ano 600 da era Cristã, com a produção da Amra Choluim Cille, a tradição latina e a irlandesa se desenvolveram juntas na Irlanda, por isso vemos em várias narrativas estas combinações de motivos cristãos e pagãos 61 . Para Brent Miles, um intercâmbio entre temáticas gregas, latinas e hebraicas marcava a produção da literatura na Irlanda Antiga e Medieval, podemos afirmar que existia "uma fascinação irlandesa com as tres linguae sacrae: hebraico, grego e latim", tanto que, de acordo com o autor "o classicismo irlandês existiu de forma colateral aos estudos clássicos [...]" 62 , ou seja, a recepção dos clássicos e a produção literária vernácula, como é o caso da Immram Curaig Mail Dúin, andavam juntas 63 .…”

As nomenclaturas utilizadas para sistematizar as narrativas literárias produzidas em língua irlandesa na Antiguidade e no Medievo tem sido as mais variadas. Na modernidade, são recorrentes as divisões em ciclos (Ulster, Feniano, Mitológico e Histórico), aventuras, viagens, visões e poesia. Nas duas maiores listas medievais contendo classificações deste mesmo material, denominadas na historiografia específica da área como “lista a” e “lista b” , todavia, outras nomenclaturas são utilizadas, gerando uma percepção distinta destas narrativas. Considerando a sistematização medieval, este artigo aborda as narrativas “célticas” de viagens para o outro mundo, denominadas na “lista a” e na “lista b” como: “Echtra”, “Imram”, “Longes” “Fís”, apontando como elas podem ser utilizadas como fontes históricas para a escrita de uma História Cultural da Irlanda Antiga e Medieval.

“…The 'righteous ruler' concept has a long pedigree in Ireland, having existed in pre-Christian Ireland and later been adopted and adapted in emergent and evolving Christianized form by the Church during the rst centuries of transition between Celtic paganism and Christianity from the fth century onward. This can be traced in a range of historical texts, including annually arranged chronicles of important historical events maintained by educated Christian scribes from at least the sixth century onward (McCarthy 2008; Dunphy 2010), 25 alongside wisdom texts, poetry, sagas, and Saints' Lives (Carey 1998;Miles 2011). The repurposing of this long-standing pagan moral ecology was an important part of the Christian ecclesiastics' strategies of political and cultural engagement-both accommodation and resistance-that facilitated the successful Christianization of Ireland's landscapes and sacred sites, inhabitants, elites, and their customs.…”

In this article, we ask how considerations about moral (and immoral) ecologies have motivated and shaped ecological resistance movements. The concept of 'moral ecologies' involves expectations of reciprocal, just, and sustainable relations between society and environment, which we consider a central concern of environmental movements. We analyze the cultural, material, and political importance of moral ecologies as a form of resistance by examining social movements in Alaska and Turkey, as well as ideas about sumak kawsay ('good living') in Ecuador and historical precursors in the form of the 'righteous ruler' in early medieval Ireland. Our analysis demonstrates that a focus on moral ecologies has often resonated widely, facilitated new and cross-cutting coalitions, and in some cases garnered elite support and signi cantly in uenced national politics and landscapes.
