AJIS publishes articles on Irish and Irish Diaspora topics in fields such as history, literature, language, politics, film, theatre and religion.

  • Hypermedia Joyce Studies
    Hypermedia Joyce Studies was founded in 1994 as a refereed journal of criticism and scholarship on the works of James Joyce.

Hypermedia Joyce Studies welcomes works representing any critical approach to any of Joyce´s works. Articles that involve feminism, cultural studies, postcolonialism, popular culture, poststructuralism, media and technology, historicism, formalism, textual criticism, etc. etc. are welcome. In order to make use of the Web´s capacities for hypertext and multimedia, we are particularly interested in articles written for hypertext and those that incorporate visual or sound elements. Articles of this kind could not be published in a print journal except in a drastically different form. We are also interested in short pieces which bring to light archival discoveries or offer concise readings of specific elements within Joyce's works.
