Ulysses and its translations in the Italian newspapers

On 10th December 2011 the Italian newspaper Avvenire published a wide article on Ulysses and its translations, followed by an interview to Enrico Terrinoni on his forthcoming Italian translation of the book.

Dario Fertilio – Corriere della Sera – in “Il vero Joyce, popolare e sboccato” draws the attention on the restoration of the original Irish language of Ulysses.
Corriere also dedicates a note to two international conferences dedicated to James Joyce:  “Parallaxes. Virginia Woolf meets James Joyce” (Milan, 13-14 December 2011) and the forthcoming “Joyce and/in Italy”, which will be held in Rome on 16-17 February 2012 .

Elisabetta D’Erme – Il piccolo, 3rd January 2012 – in “Ulisse l’illeggibile adesso diventa un libro per tutti” focuses on the diffusion of Joyce’s Ulysses in Italy.

Enrico Terrinoni – Il Messaggero, 5th January 2012 – in “Joyce, l’idea di Ulisse nacque a Roma” remembers how Joyce’s idea of Ulysses originated in Rome.

Masolino D’Amico – La Stampa, 14th January 2012 – in “E così l’estroso Ulisse ritorna divertente” points out that Enrico Terrinoni’s translation restores Joyce’s comic dimension of Ulysses.

Revised dates for the V JJIF Graduate Conference

Cari amici di The James Joyce Italian Foundation,
purtroppo a seguito di alcune variazioni del calendario accademico dell’Università Roma Tre le date della V JJIF Graduate Conference – Roma sono anticipate ai giorni 16-17 febbraio 2012.
Ci scusiamo per il disagio che tutto questo può procurare.

Dear friends and colleagues,
owing to some late changes in the academic calendar, the V JJIF Graduate Conference in Rome is now scheduled for 16-17 February 2012 (and not 23-24 February as previously advised).
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause – though at least our somewhat moveable feast will now take place a little nearer the great man’s 130th birthday.
