Interdisciplinary / Multidisciplinary Woolf is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s own efforts to cross, undermine, and sometimes reassert disciplinary and other boundaries in her body of work. We welcome scholars, teachers, students, readers, activists, community groups, and artists who respond to Woolf and her circle from diverse points of view. Of particular interest are interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to Woolf, whether in the form of research, pedagogy, and creative work, or community or institutional activities. Our goal is to draw together a range of voices—momentarily—to discover something new.

Parallaxes. Virginia Woolf meets James Joyce

13-14 December 2011

Università degli Studi di Milan

Seventy years after their death in 1941, we wish to explore and assess the inheritance of such towering figures of modernity and modernism as Woolf and Joyce, whose  aesthetic stance  and  dialogue, however   wary  their personal relationship and reciprocal opinion, has affected the destiny of literature in English in unforeseen and irreversible ways.

We are aware the extension of the problem is huge, and that a one-and-a-half day conference may in no way cover it entirely; but we have selected areas of investigation which we believe trigger the most challenging aspects of the Woolf/Joyce presence in today’s literary culture and culture tout court.
