Centripetal Joyce / Joyce Centrifugal - (European Joyce Studies) (Paperback)

About the Book

Centripetal Joyce/Joyce Centrifugal is a collection of essays arising from the 2022 Dublin James Joyce Symposium. These essays explore the meaning(s) of Joyce to us now, a century after the original publication of Ulysses, and the direction(s) of Joyce studies today, ranging from comparative studies (with Ovid, Derek Walcott, and John Cage) to questions of textual receptions, legacies, and futures.

Book Synopsis

In Dublin in June 2022, a symposium of scholars celebrated the centenary of the original publication of Joyce's Ulysses. This volume, a gathering of selected papers presented at that event, displays how vibrant and varied are the avenues of inquiry and research into Joyce's works today. From orality to elegy, contemplating comparisons with artists as different as Ovid, Derek Walcot, and John Cage, these essays project inward (centripetally) and outward (centrifugally) to examine the receptions of Joyce's works, their legacies, and the possible futures of Joyce studies.
