As anti-Semitism is being debated so heatedly today, it seems timely to go back to the interwar period that saw such rise in anti-Jewish hatred in Europe, as well as the publication of a book that provocatively chose to rewrite the most canonical work of European culture around a Jewish Odysseus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact us at info@joycefoundation.ch if you\u2019d like to join the event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Zurich James Joyce Foundation Online Lecture Series is kindly supported by the Embassy of Ireland, Switzerland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1995\" style=\"width:316px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited.jpg 394w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce that Val\u00e9rie B\u00e9n\u00e9jam (Nantes Universit\u00e9) will be third speaker in our new Online Lecture Series.
