It is our pleasure to invite you to a Strauhof Lecture
by the former ZJJF scholar

Talia Abu
Tel Aviv University

Vegetarianism in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake

In Ulysses and Finnegans Wake Joyce includes vegetarian practices
that indicate a deep engagement with particular moral and ethical
issues associated with food and eating. In the discussion Talia Abu
will address the cultural attitudes toward vegetarianism in Joyce’s
time, and will explore vegetarianism in Ulysses and Finnegans
Wake as a rebellion against mainstream social and cultural values.

We are happy to invite you to our first Strauhof Lecture of the year:

Vitor Alevato do Amaral
Fluminense Federal University (Rio de Janeiro)

Joyce’s Poetry and A Portrait ReTranslated into
Brazilian Portuguese: Chances and Challenges
Joyce’s early and occasional poems – as well as his own translations – were
published in Portuguese for the first time in 2022: Alevato’s bilingual Outra
poesia edition contains poems dating from 1891 to 1939.
On the other hand, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) was first
translated into Brazilian Portuguese in 1945 and has been retranslated five
times so far. Vitor’s new translation is now in its final stage.
Vitor was a recipient of the Joyce Scholarship and Looren Residency in 2020
and is currently working on A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man at
Translation House Looren.

Matinée at the Filmpodium, Nüschelerstrasse 11, Zürich 

Translating Ulysses 

Netherlands/Turkey, 2023. Directed by Aylin Kuryel and Firat Yücel 

Subtitles in English and German 

The documentary portrays Kawa Nemir, renowned Kurdish author and translator of English literature, on his epic journey to bring Joyce’s Ulysses from the Irish sea to the Kurdish mountains. 

But how can Ulysses with its complexity and infinite variety of words and symbols be translated into a language that is politically repressed? During his six-years’ task he collects a myriad of Kurdish words and idioms to create a Kurdish analogue to Joyce’s novel, attempting to redeem the collective memory of the Kurdish language and to build a bridge between his own Kurdish culture and world literature. 

Kawa Nemir

Tuesday, 23 May 2023, 7.30 p.m.

On occasion of his recent book publication we are happy to invite you to a lecture by

Gabriel Renggli (University of York)

Gabriel’s book Joyce as Theory, published in February 2023,
examines the various scenes in Finnegans Wake that deal with the
production and interpretation of texts. Any reader of the Wake knows
that ALP’s letter is somehow important and that Shaun hates Shem’s
writing, but what Gabriel argues is that in these and other narratives,
Joyce presents a systematic philosophy of meaning-making – a
hermeneutics – which markedly resembles what would come to be
called “literary theory” in the second half of the twentieth century.
This lecture provides an overview of what theory is, how Joyce fits
into it, and how Joyce’s approach resembles that of Jacques Derrida,
in particular.

Students welcome!

RSVP until 19 May to: info@joycefoundation.ch or 044 211 83 01.
