● Joyce and the Local(s)
● Joyce and Pola-Pula/Trieste/Rome
● Joyce and the Italian language
● Portrait of Joyce as a young Italian, Giacomo Joyce…
● Joyce and/in translation (from Nino Frank & Co to Gruppo 63, Diacono, and Schenoni…)
● Joyce and Movies, Film Adaptations, Joyce’s interest in films, what can Viaggio in Italia / Voyage in Italybring to the reader of James Joyce?

           * Joyce and Dante, Bruno, Vico…
           * Joyce and Svevo, D’Annunzio, Calvino, Eco…
● Joyce and politics (Italian nationalism, Ferrero…)
● Joyce’s literary connections, such as Valéry Larbaud and Samuel Beckett, known for their interest in Italian culture (Larbaud, a native of nearby Vichy, is also of special relevance to the conference as the “supervisor” of Morel’s translation of Ulysses; as for Beckett, he left long-lasting impressions in Saint-Gérand).

Presentations should be between 25 and 30 minutes so as to leave time for discussion.
A selection of papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
