Гэльское измерение патриотизма вмещало в себя и мотивы любви к родине, и лояльность Стюартам, и непризнание законности английского завоевания, и разочарование, связанное с упадком традиционного гэльского порядка. Среди общих черт этих форм патриотизма автор выделяет политизированность, а также их монархическую и католическую природу, самосознание особости и неанглийскость, под-черкивает их немодерный характер. Ирландские формы патриотизма представляли собой своеобразный конформизм элит. В то же самое время они артикулировали чувство собствен-ной особости, но поскольку данное чувство было различным у представителей элиты, появи-лось несколько форм патриотизма. Автор также утверждает, что ирландский кейс показывает, что патриотизм не ограничивается только этническими или территориальными аспектами, но всегда смешивается с другими элементами. Библиогр. 57 назв. Ключевые слова: патримониальный патриотизм, Ирландия в раннее Новое время, ирланд-ская знать, композитарное государство, домодерные идентичности.

N2 - The article is dedicated to the phenomenon of patriotism of the Irish nobility in the reign of early Stuarts, when specific loyalist consciousness of distinction within the composite British state of the Roman Catholic subjects, both of Old English and Gaelic descent, was formed. The author suggests a term 'patrimonial patriotism', which combines both medieval and new aspects, for describing patriotism in early modern Ireland. He compares and contrasts different forms of patriotism in Stuart Ireland: Old English traditional allegiances, Irish patriotism of both Old English and Gaels and also a distinct Gaelic dimension of patriotism. The Old English patriotism is rather to be considered seigneurial loyalty since their constitutional, territorial and historical legitimacy was based on their motherland in England. Patrimonial patriotism of Old English and Gaels was characterized by loyalty to Catholicism and the Stuart's dynasty. The most complete form of Irish patriotism supposed appropriation of the Gaelic past and cultural practices and at the same time acknowledging the legitimacy of the English invasion. In the Gaelic dimension of patriotism loyalty to Stuarts was combined with non-recognition of the legitimacy of the English invasion and disappointment with the collapse of the traditional Gaelic order. The author highlights that common features of these forms of patriotism were, in part, their politicized, monarchical and Catholic nature, their feeling of distinction and non-Englishness and their non-modern character. He also points out that the case of Ireland shows patriotism is not restricted to only ethnic and territorial aspects, but is always mixed with other elements.
