CINÉCLUB:
PEUR[S] DU NOIR

Peur(s) du Noir is a wildly inventive and visually dazzling collection of fearful tales by six of the world's most renowned comic and graphic artists - Blutch (Grand Prix Festival Angouleme 2009), Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, and Richard McGuire.

From a besotted student whose girlfriend is weirdly ardent in her affections, to a Japanese schoolgirl menaced by a long-dead samurai, and a pack of hounds on a bloodthirsty rampage, Peur(s) du Noir has a story strand to trouble every sleep - not to mention a stunning range of animation styles.

Conference: ULYSSES IN TRANSLATION

ULYSSES IN TRANSLATION by Dr SAM SLOTE
Conference. As part of the Bloomsday Festival the Joyce Centre, in partnership with the Alliance Française, is organising a talk by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College. He will be speaking on 'Ulysses in Translation'. Joyce's novel, Ulysses, is one of the most widely translated English language novels in the world and Joyce's famously poetic and experimental language has provided translators with great challenges.
Sam Slote will focus his talk on the first French translation of the work, which was published in 1929 and so celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.

This talk will be mainly through English with questions and answers in French and English.


Monday 15 June at 6.30pm
Admission Free
