Dear Members and Friends of the James Joyce Italian Foundation,we’d like to remind you that we have an ongoing CfP for our next issue of Joyce Studies in Italy (deadline: Joyce’s 139th birthday, Feb 2, 2021):
JOYCE PAYS, JOYSPACE (OR JOYCE AND SPACE)
Joyce studies in Italy vol. 23 (2021)
PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 2, 2021
Joyce Studies in Italy, a peer-reviewed annual journal dealing with all areas of Joyce studies, invites Joycean scholars to submit papers (max 5.000 words including bibliography, no images) on the subject of Joyce and Space.
If during the Twentieth Century the idea of identity and selfhood was mainly considered as rooted in temporality, in the last few decades the spatial condition of human existence has acquired a new and profound relevance after the so-called Spatial Turn which has produced a deep change in the relationship between space, place, body and mind. Indeed, places can be conceived and experienced in a variety of ways: through fleeting yet intense bodily perceptions, mental and memory constructions, or as the result of cultural and literary inventions, so much so that distinctive and diverse places are regarded as the product of deeply felt links between people and the places they live in.
As Valérie Bénéjam and John Bishop write in Making Space in the Works of James Joyce (2011) Joyce’s concern for space \”be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical, or optical – obviously appeared a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work\”. For example, in the first chapter of the Portrait Stephen defines his position in space, according to his personal cosmology, while in Ulysses the perception of places is firstly lived through the body and bodily sensations.
Contributors are invited to explore how in Joyce’s novels space and places are constituted, perceived, known and lived in their physical, existential, memorial, textual, cognitive, imaginative or cerebral dimension, and how such perception – real or imaginary, conscious or unaware that it is – contributes to building the identities both of places and individuals, in a continuous exchange between subjective and objective, between embodied mind and places, since “being” is synonymous to “be somewhere”.
Contributions will undergo a double-blind peer review process, and selected papers will be recommended for publication in the 2021 issue of the journal.
