Joyce Novels and Silent Films: Film Archive Research

詹姆斯·乔伊斯与电影之间的关系还没有被研究过。研究乔伊斯的学者们都知道，乔伊斯参与了在都柏林开设第一家电影院——沃尔塔剧院的项目。但是没有研究乔伊斯的学者确定乔伊斯在那里放映了哪些电影或这些电影的影响。英国电影研究学者卢克·麦克南（Luke McKernan）调查了沃尔特剧院（Volta Theater）放映的电影残骸，并指出了这些电影保存在哪些档案中，并在2004年写了一篇关于它们的文章。我决定研究保存在世界各地档案馆的所有幸存的电影，并阐明这些无声电影对乔伊斯小说的直接影响。

The relationship between James Joyce and the cinema has not been studied. It is quite well known among Joyce scholars that Joyce was involved in the project of opening the first cinema theatre, The Volta in Dublin. But no Joyce scholar has ever established which films Joyce showed there or the influences of those films. Luke McKernan, an English Cinema Studies scholar, investigated the remains of the films shown at the Volta Theater and noted in which archives these films are kept, and wrote an article about them in 2004. I have decided to study all the surviving films stored in archives around the world and to elucidate the direct influences on Joyce's novels of these silent films.
