The James Joyce Italian Foundation invites proposals for the Thirteenth Annual Conference in Rome. It will be hosted by the Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the Università Roma Tre, to celebrate Joyce’s 138th birthday.
Otherness is a major feature of Joyce’s writing, in thematic, philosophical, aesthetic, political and linguistic terms. The Conference will reflect also on how other writers coming from different traditions appropriated or transfigured Joyce’s oeuvre, and how the Irish artist’s works resonate in their own writings.
We invite scholars to send proposals for a 20-minute contribution. The Conference will be the occasion to present unpublished papers and works in progress on Joyce to an international audience.
Related topics include, but are not limited to:
– Joyce and European literature
– Joyce and World literature
– Joyce’s reception across space and time
– Joyce’s radical intertextuality
– Joyce and Otherness
– Postcolonial Joyce
– Identity, othering and self-othering in Joyce
– Joyce, language and alterity
Selected papers
will be published. In sending abstracts (500 words maximum in length), please
attach also a short narrative bio-sketch (300 words maximum in length) to joyceconference@gmail.com. BOTH DOCUMENTS HAVE TO BE SUPPLIED IN WORD FORMAT.
The Conference
includes a Joyce birthday party.
Deadline for
proposals: November 24, 2019.
Accepted speakers will be notified no earlier than December 15, 2019.
