| Abstract: | The article examines the relationship between the organization of working life and the production and the consumption of culture within the context of the Irish economic boom, known as the Celtic Tiger. The examination is confined into the relationship with dance, focusing on Riverdance which emerged contemporaneously with the Celtic Tiger. The study shows that this relationship is immersed in larger organizing discourses, in historical narratives about national identity. Three distinct moments in the development of Irish dance are identified: pre-national, 'traditional' Ireland; national, 'modern', parochial Ireland and global, 'post-modern' Ireland. Through this provided narrative, the study explores the change of working relations in Ireland during the 19th and 20th centuries. |
