The Sixteenth James Joyce Birthday Conference
University of Miami, January 29-31, 2004
³Traditions and Innovations²
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, the University of Miami will host the
conference one last time to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of
Bloomsday, the single day during which the action of Joyce¹s novel Ulysses
takes place. This event will be the first and only all-Joyce academic
conference in North America to mark and celebrate the centennial year.
The theme 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 two of the most revered
scholars in the history of Joyce criticism: Robert Scholes (Brown
University) and Fritz Senn (the Zürich James Joyce Foundation), whose
innovative ideas are now indeed traditions of modernism and postmodernism.
In addition, the conference will present fifteen to twenty concurrent panels
on a wide variety of topics. Other activities include nightly festivities,
games, and musical and theatrical debuts. We promise both great insights and
great fun.
Papers and panel proposals on any Joyce topic are welcome. Please send paper
abstracts of 250 words or less and panel proposals to conference co-chair
