> JAMES JOYCE'S ULYSSES
– A GUIDED TOUR
Duchesne College in association with the School of English,
Media Studies and Art History hosted a Summer Program at the
end of 2004 titled, James Joyce’s Ulysses: A Guided
Tour. As the program was a great success Duchesne will be
repeating the Ulysses program as well as introducing a Shakespeare
Summer Program. These programs, each of which last for four
days, will run at the same time as one another between the
29/11/05 and 02/12/05.
In order to preserve the integrity of these programs there
are a limited number of places available (24 in each program),
therefore it essential to book early to ensure that you receive
a place. Both programs are held in the College’s air-conditioned
conference rooms.
Programs Include:
4 days participation in program (approx 3 x 1.5 h/r sessions
per day)
Lunches, morning/afternoon teas and ‘Gala Dinner’
Notepad, pen and Introductory guide booklet.
Cost: Cost of program will be announced
when bookings open.
Bed and Breakfast accommodation is also available in the
College’s air-conditioned ensuite rooms at a cost of
$65 per night.

THE PROGRAM
At the heart of this Summer School is a series of
seminars, in which, led by experienced tour guides, we will
progressively and collectively read our way though a substantial
part of the book, fleshing out the details of the characters,
the city and the actions, and the catalogue of stylistic invention
through which Joyce brings all this alive. This guided tour
through the book will involve discussions, talks, music, and
the sights and sounds of Dublin today and in 1904.
Other activities will cluster around these seminars. On three
of the days, there will be talks which will fill in background
about Joyce, Ulysses and its time, the extraordinary story
of the novel's composition and publication, Similarly with
music, which is everywhere in the book: the popular song and
light opera of the time are on everyone's lips and in their
minds.
RECOMMENDED TEXT
If you already have an edition of Ulysses, use that. If you
don't, Jeri Johnson's edition for the Oxford World's Classics
series is highly recommended (ISBN 0192834649). It's got notes
and a commentary, and is also very affordable. It's not necessary
for you to have read the book beforehand. Further notes and
materials will be made available to participants. |
