This year the city of Zaragoza and its University will host the XV International AEDEI Conference. Two thousand and sixteen being the centenary of the Easter Rising 1916, we decided to make, not just this specific rebellion, but the whole revolutionary decade (1913-1923), the focus of the conference, widening its scope as well to accommodate other possible cultural and social revolutions or transformations that have taken place in Ireland in the 20th and 21st centuries. Considering the topic chosen, many contributions come from historians and sociologists, together with a good number of papers analysing contemporary literary representations of different Irish revolutions. Participants range from Professors to postgraduate students, and mainly come from Ireland, the UK and Spain.
