Participants of the workshop included: Cattrin Siedenbiedel (who finished her dissertation on “Metafictionality” in FW), Jörg Drews (Germany), Manuela Heinzel (Germany), Colleen Jaurretche (USA), John Bishop (USA), Gregory Downing (USA), Marianna Gula (Hungary), Conor Wyer (Ireland), Arleen Ionescu (Romania), Hansruedi Isler

The participants and the local crew discussed various aspects of expectation, hope, anticipation in and around Joyce. Topics were Theoretical Frames; Vico, Prayer, etc; Dixon in Portrait and Oxen; Futurity; Cyclops; Nausicaan Voyeurism; Telemachus; Expectations around Molly (or Syntax); Black Holes, as well as “Placebo Effects.”

Gregory Downing has written an appreciative report on the 1999 workshop on Annotation and the Foundation in general (JJQ, vol. 2, no 2, winter 1999, pp. 20–29). According to Downing, “anyone interested in Joyce who fails to take advantage of the Zurich Joyce Foundation is nuts.”
