Call for Papers
James Joyce Conference
University of Miami, January 29-31
Traditions and Innovations

For fourteen years, from 1987-2001, the Department of English at the
University of Miami hosted an annual conference to honor the birthday of Irish
writer James Joyce. In 2004, it will host the conference one last time to
commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the setting of Joyce’s novel Ulysses,
and will be the first and only all-Joyce academic conference in North America
to mark and celebrate the centennial year.

This title of the 2004 James Joyce conference – TRADITIONS AND INNOVATIONS –
invites participants to explore and theorize the many ways Joyce, his works,
his achievement, and his modernist practices have been examined and treated
over the decades.

The conference will feature keynote presentations by Robert Scholes and Hugh
Kenner, fifteen to twenty concurrent panels, and the kind of nightly
festivities, games, and musical and theatrical debuts that tend to go down in
the record books. You’ll want to be a part of it, more than ever in 2004, and
especially against the backdrop of lovely Miami in early winter.

Please send paper abstracts of 250 words or less and panel proposals to
conference co-chair Claire Culleton by December 1st:
