{"product_id":"gorse-11","title":"Gorse 11","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to A.T. Lucas, in his book Furze, A Survey and History of its Uses in Ireland (1960), “There are two general English names [for gorse] current in the country. A line drawn from east to west across the country from the neighbourhood of Drogheda to that of Westport approximately divides the territories where these names are in use. To the north of that line the name used is ‘whins’, to the south of it ‘furze’.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorse changed the title of the publication for this issue to whins and furze to indicate loosely the division of the book between North (whins) and South (furze). The cover shows a close up of a border division on a map, north of the line is Whins and south of the line is Furze. The two covers line up side by side to show a longer stretch of the border and they can also be arranged in an endless repeat of a divided landscape. A linguistic divide is much more ambiguous than a geo-political border, it suggests a much broader in-between and a gradual cultural blend rather than a definitive hard line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNorth\/Whins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘Like all walls it was ambiguous, two faced.
