Joyce studies? Wow, what a waste of time and paper. |
Yeah, I guess that would be a waste considering it's a job that will take me around the world speaking at symposiums and making close to six figures between tenure and publishing... |

Traveling around the world making six figures. Umm, do you need someone to carry you books, get you coffee, or roll the lint of your jacket? |

good to see this thread is sticking to its original title........... 
I use a program called FilmOnTV (google it)It gets all major UK channels and the quality is excellent. I think you are supposed to pay subscription but I just skip the sign-in when I start it up and it works fine....I never watch it for very long though, maybe if you were watching for hours you might have to pay money. |

If by jacket, do you mean the corduroy kind with the leather patches?? By all means, just come for fun! Bill it all to the school, man! |

These days I'm only using it for the BBC news at 1 o'clock, but before I watched a lot of Wimbledon on it, and a few other things. It's good as if the high quality channel doesn't work, there is always a lower quality version which usually does. |

I doubt it very much - who wants to learn about Irish culture from an American? Even if you are from South Boston..
You don't have the necesarry 'blarney' to even come near to making a living out of it - when people pay good money for that kind of thing - they want to listen to an Irish person talk about it - like you would.
Good luck to you but the 'six figure salary' is dreamtime - I hope you prove me wrong though!  |

I take it you mean BBC1/BBC2 / ITV/ Channel 4 and 5.
English TV is terrible.......the same old rubbish soaps and crappy reality TV over and over again.
I suppose it's ok if you don't pay for it as you do!   |

No sock Mol - but you know I am right.
If you had two lectures to choose which were both about Irish literature and one was hosted by someone from the Repbulic of Ireland and the other was hosted by an Englishman/Australian/American who has Irish parents - you know which lecture you would pick in second.
You want to listen to the accent, the voice, the experiences, the blarney.
Does anyone really want to listen to another American who is obsessed about Irish culture? It's not like they are a rare breed is it? |

No, I completely disagree with you. Most Joyce scholars are not, in fact, Irish. I personally know at least 30 Korean Joyce scholars. Add to that the interest in Joyce studies in France, the US, Canada, England, Italy, Japan, and the Czech Rep, to name a few, and you can clearly acknowledge that Joyce scholarship has gained the international following it has because people from all over the world are interested in his work.
It would make sense, if one were to commit to studying Joyce properly, to go to Ireland to experience not only the country he devoted his life writing about, but because the best scholars work there. However, not all the professors in Irish universities are, in fact, Irish. Actually, if you want to talk about Joyce and alternate environs, Switzerland, France, and Italy are important in his writing process since he only returned to his country twice after leaving in the early 20th century. The milieus of those places in the 1910s-30s was very instrumental in his artistic development, and thus, have gained a large academic following.
It's rather foolish, and ignorant, of you to make the aforementioned claim. In fact, one of the wonderful things about scholarship in general is that a person of any sex, race, religion, ethnicity, etc. may study something outside their realm of comfort. Who wants to hear a rich man boast about being rich? Not me. I'd rather hear the story of how a poor man became that rich man. |
