About the talks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Thursday 17th January 2013, 3-4pm<\/strong>
\n\u201cIn the holy land of Michan\u201d: Combating Revivalism in \u201cCyclops\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nProf. Anne Fogarty, UCD\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enhancing national self-respect and the retooling of heroes from Celtic myth to provide inspiring models of courage and combative action were amongst the chief objectives of late nineteenth-century revivalist writers. \u00a0Cuchulain, above all, provided one of the central templates for a re-envisioned view of national character and heroic endeavour for Standish O\u2019Grady, Lady Gregory and W.B. Yeats. \u00a0This lecture will consider how the \u201cCyclops\u201d episode at once appropriates and recasts the complex dynamics of the multiple plots centring on Cuchulain with their warring emphases on self-assertion, honour, unimpeachable masculinity, cross-gendering, intransigence, and failure.<\/p>\n

Professor Anne Fogarty holds the chair of James Joyce Studies at University College Dublin and is Head of the UCD School of English, Drama and Film. She is co-editor with Dr Luca Crispi of the Dublin James Joyce Journal.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday 6th February 2013, 12.30 – 1.30pm
\n‘Between Commentary and\u00a0Eternity\u2019: Annotating Dante and Joyce<\/em><\/strong>
\nProf. Sam Slote, TCD\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The act of annotations\u00a0implies some deficiency in the text\u00a0that the annotations then purport to correct.\u00a0Either the\u00a0reader is insufficiently learned to cope with the text\u2019s allusions, or the text\u00a0is insufficiently accessible and cannot be trusted on its own without the mediation of the annotator’s skills and knowledge. Drawing on my experiences annotating Ulysses,\u00a0I will discuss the commentary traditions around both Dante and Joyce to examine what annotation invariably omits and distorts in the service of explaining a literary text.<\/p>\n

Prof. Slote is one of Ireland’s leading Joycean Scholars. He has co-edited five volumes on Joyce: Probes: Genetic Studies in Joyce (1995); Genitricksling Joyce (1999); How Joyce Wrote \u2018Finnegans Wake\u2019 (2007); Renascent Joyce (2013); and Derrida and Joyce: On Totality and Equivocation (2013). \u00a0His annotated edition of Ulysses was published in 2012 by Alma Classics; this contains 9,000 all-new annotations to Joyce’s text.<\/p>\n

Prof. Slote was one of three academic coordinators for the 2008 International James Joyce Symposium at the Universit\u00e9 Fran\u00e7ois-Rabelais in Tours, France and one of the organisers of the 2012 International James Joyce Symposium, which was hosted by both TCD and UCD. \u00a0In 2009 Prof. Slote was elected to a six-year term as a Trustee of the International James Joyce Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
