On the occasion of the centenary of James Joyce’s Ulysses we present here a note by Annalisa Federici on the Italian translations of the novel

A Note on the Italian Translations of Ulysses

Over the last hundred years, the reading of Ulysses has accompanied and puzzled us in many different languages. Despite a relatively late start (the first complete translation only appearing in 1960), Italian scholars have been strenuously engaging with Joyce’s book of the day, so much so that Italy can now boast the highest number of translations of this text. On the occasion of the centenary of its publication, here is a (hopefully complete) list of Italian translations of Ulysses:

• James Joyce, Ulisse, Unica traduzione integrale autorizzata di Giulio De Angelis, Milano, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, 1960. Subsequent editions of this first authorised translation were published, among which the one included in the prestigious collection “I Meridiani” (1971), with an introduction by Giorgio Melchiori and a chronology, commentary and bibliography by Giulio De Angelis, a new revised edition (1988), with a preface by Richard Ellmann and a note on the text by Hans Walter Gabler, based on the corrected text, until the latest (2018) for the collection “Oscar Moderni”.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, versione e note di Bona Flecchia, Firenze, Shakespeare & Company, 1995. Famously, the text was withdrawn from the market due to copyright infringement.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, a cura di Enrico Terrinoni, traduzione di Enrico Terrinoni con Carlo Bigazzi, Roma, Newton Compton, 2012. Published immediately after the expiry of copyright protection, this translation, winner of the “Premio Napoli 2012”, features an excellent introduction, a biographical note and a bibliography, as well as a rich critical apparatus of notes to single episodes.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, traduzione e prefazione di Gianni Celati, Torino, Einaudi, 2013. This translation is accompanied by a preface but lacks explanatory notes.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, traduzione e note di Mario Biondi, Milano, La Nave di Teseo, 2020. This annotated edition is accompanied by a map of 1904 Dublin and “Prolegomena” by the translator.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, a cura di Alessandro Ceni, Milano, Feltrinelli, 2021. This translation is accompanied by an introductory note.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, a cura di Enrico Terrinoni, Firenze, Giunti-Bompiani, 2021. This groundbreaking bilingual edition is the first Italian translation of Ulysses accompanied by the original text. It features an introduction and essays by Enrico Terrinoni, Declan Kiberd, Diarmuid O’ Giolláin, Carlo Bigazzi and Fabio Pedone, as well as a rich apparatus of notes, schemes, Homeric correspondences, characters, maps.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, traduzione di Marco Marzagalli, Genova, Amazon, 2021. This “Entirely annotated translation” is accompanied by an introductory note as well as notes to single episodes and text.
• James Joyce, Ulisse, traduzione di Livio Crescenzi, Tonina Giuliani e Marta Viazzoli, Fidenza, Mattioli, 2021.

Dear Members and Friends of the James Joyce Italian Foundation,

We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Organizing Committee

CFP: The XIV James Joyce Italian Foundation Conference in Rome

The XIV James Joyce Italian Foundation Conference in Rome

The XIV James Joyce Italian Foundation Conference in Rome

“One, No One, and One Hundred (Thousand?) Ulysses”

Conference Dates: 9-11 February 2022

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: November 14, 2021

Keynote speakers:

• Fritz Senn (Zurich James Joyce Foundation)

Organisers: Franca Ruggieri, Fabio Luppi, Enrico Terrinoni, Serenella Zanotti

The James Joyce Italian Foundation invites proposals for the Fourteenth Annual Conference in Rome to celebrate Joyce’s 140th birthday.

Ulysses turns a hundred and it does not seem to have aged too much. Actually, Joyce’s great book is still able, thanks to its openness to multiple readings, to attract new interpretations coming from all areas of knowledge. Philosophical, artistic, political, linguistic, musical, environmental approaches have changed it into a kaleidoscope producing plural and transformative visions of the world and of itself. The Conference will reflect on how such visions can still be “multiplied”, or rather “plultiplied” as the Wake would have it, for the readers to come.

We invite scholars to send proposals for a 20-minute contribution. The Conference will be the occasion to present unpublished papers and works in progress on Joyce to an international audience.

Related topics include, but are not limited to:

– Ulysses, European literature and World literature

– The reception of Ulysses across space and time

– Ulysses’s radical intertextuality

– Ulysses and Otherness

– Postcolonial Ulysses

– Ulysses, language and alterity

– Ulysses and the classical world

– Ulysses and the novel

– Ulysses in translation / translating Ulysses

– Ulysses and historic recurrences

– ‘Ulysses and us’

– The language/s of Ulysses

– Homer, Dante, Tennyson, Joyce… and one hundred Ulysses

Please send an abstract (500 words maximum in length) along with a short narrative bio-sketch (300 words maximum in length) to joyceconference@gmail.com (both documents should be sent in Word format).

Selected papers will be published in our Journal Joyce Studies in Italy. The Conference includes a Joyce birthday party.

Deadline for proposals: November 14, 2021.

Accepted speakers will be notified no earlier than December 1, 2021.

On arrival, participants will be expected to sign up for membership of The James Joyce Italian Foundation (Students: 30 Euro; Individual Membership: 45 Euro; Institutions: 50 Euro; Supporting members: 70 euro).

Please visit the James Joyce Italian Foundation website for updates: https://thejamesjoyceitalianfoundation.wordpress.com/

Reminder

Dear Members and Friends of the James Joyce Italian Foundation,we’d like to remind you that we have an ongoing CfP for our next issue of Joyce Studies in Italy (deadline: Joyce’s 139th birthday, Feb 2, 2021):

JOYCE PAYS, JOYSPACE (OR JOYCE AND SPACE)

Joyce studies in Italy vol. 23 (2021)

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 2, 2021

Joyce Studies in Italy, a peer-reviewed annual journal dealing with all areas of Joyce studies, invites Joycean scholars to submit papers (max 5.000 words including bibliography, no images) on the subject of Joyce and Space.

If during the Twentieth Century the idea of identity and selfhood was mainly considered as rooted in temporality, in the last few decades the spatial condition of human existence has acquired a new and profound relevance after the so-called Spatial Turn which has produced a deep change in the relationship between space, place, body and mind. Indeed, places can be conceived and experienced in a variety of ways: through fleeting yet intense bodily perceptions, mental and memory constructions, or as the result of cultural and literary inventions, so much so that distinctive and diverse places are regarded as the product of deeply felt links between people and the places they live in.

As Valérie Bénéjam and John Bishop write in Making Space in the Works of James Joyce (2011) Joyce’s concern for space “be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical, or optical – obviously appeared a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work”. For example, in the first chapter of the Portrait Stephen defines his position in space, according to his personal cosmology, while in Ulysses the perception of places is firstly lived through the body and bodily sensations.

Contributors are invited to explore how in Joyce’s novels space and places are constituted, perceived, known and lived in their physical, existential, memorial, textual, cognitive, imaginative or cerebral dimension, and how such perception – real or imaginary, conscious or unaware that it is – contributes to building the identities both of places and individuals, in a continuous exchange between subjective and objective, between embodied mind and places, since “being” is synonymous to “be somewhere”.

Contributions will undergo a double-blind peer review process, and selected papers will be recommended for publication in the 2021 issue of the journal.

Related topics include, but are not limited to:

Only papers which fully comply with the JSI Stylesheet and are related to the theme of the volume will be considered for submission to reviewers. Authors are kindly invited to submit their full papers to r.baronti@unicas.it by February 2, 2021.
