ZÜRICH James Joyce Foundation

News & Events

The Friends will hold their annual GV on the 27th of February at the Zurich James Joyce Foundation. Documents such as the annual report of 2023, a financial statement and the protocol of the last general meeting can be found here.

Goal

The Friends were established in 1987 to support the Zurich James Joyce Foundation morally as well as financially through the members’ annual subscriptions. The members are regularly informed of all activities, book donations and acquisitions, and are invited to the Foundation’s events.

Fritz Senn conducts two Ulysses and two Finnegans Wake reading groups per week. For the last 30 years, the Friends have supported these events financially so that they remain free for everyone.

The Friends’ Lecture Series

The Friends established and support the Zurich James Joyce Lectures, lectures at the Zurich James Joyce Foundation by Joyce researchers.

Dublin Pilgrimages

If enough participants can be enlisted, the Friends go on a so-called Dublin Pilgrimage, usually over a weekend in spring, featuring a visit to the Joyce Tower in Sandycove, a Ulysses walk through town, James Joyce Cultural Centre, etc. In its time, the trip has touched on Clongowes Wood, Belvedere College, Guinness Brewery, The Dublin Metropolitan Police Museum, the sources of the Liffey, Glendalough and various museums. In 1994, a similar journey took some of the Friends to Trieste. For further information about pilgrimages please contact us: Tel. (+41) 44 211 83 01; email info@joycefoundation.ch.
