From the
earliest reviews to the most recent monographs, commentators have noted the
Austin-based director Richard Linklater’s overt references to James Joyce. We
invite scholars of literature and film to submit 500-word proposals for essays
exploring Joyce's fiction in relation to specific Linklater films.
The list of
relevant Linklater projects includes (but is not restricted to): It's
Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books (1988), Slacker (1991), Dazed and
Confused (1993), the Before Trilogy (1994-2013), SubUrbia (1996), The Newton
Boys (1998), Tape (2001), Waking Life (2001), School of Rock (2003), A Scanner
Darkly (2006), Fast Food Nation (2006), Me and Orson Welles (2008), Bernie
(2011), Boyhood (2014), Everybody Wants Some!! (2016), and Last Flag Flying
