Description of Events

 

 The eighth edition of the Trieste Joyce School will take place from 27 June to 3 July 2004. Following the tradition established in previous years, this year's school hopes to satisfy the needs both of seasoned Joyceans and of newcomers to the world of Joyce studies. The School draws inspiration from Trieste itself - its history, its culture, its architecture, its institutions - and leaves participants with a sense of why Joyce came to describe the city as his "second country".

The school opens on the evening of Sunday 27 June in the auditorium of the Galleria d'Arte moderna "Revoltella" and concludes with a farewell dinner the following Saturday. The morning lectures will see a selection of the world's finest literary scholars address various aspects of Joyce's life and works through a wide range of critical approaches. These lectures are accompanied by week-long afternoon seminars on Dubliners (Erik Bulson), Ulysses (Fritz Senn), Finnegans Wake (Ron Ewart), and Joyce and Trieste (Erik Schneider). A walking tour of Joyce's Trieste is also arranged as well as a visit to the newly opened Joyce Museum which is housed in the city's Biblioteca Civica.

Among the highlights of this year's social and cultural programme are readings by acclaimed Irish novelist Jennifer Johnston and by the Womens Writers Web (Ivy Bannister, Mary Rose Callaghan, Colette Connor, Celia de Freine, Catherine Dunne, Marilyn McLaughlin, Liz McManus, Lia Mills, Mairide Woods), a visit to an Osmiza in the Triestine Carso, an evening of music and song, and an afternoon on the beach to enjoy what Joyce called "that damn silly sun that turns men into butter"!
