The lecture will have a strong visual dimension but will also explore how everyday Dublin speech infuses the rich linguistic fusion that makes the Wake unique in world literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>John Dredge<\/strong> is the Honorary Secretary of the <strong>James Joyce Institute of Ireland<\/strong>. A native of Dublin, John spent many years as a secondary school teacher. He subsequently, worked in curriculum development and teacher professional development. Since 2007, he has been a part-time lecturer in the School of Education of University College Dublin. Since September 2024, he hosts on behalf of the Institute an online reading of <em>Ulysses <\/em>which attracts a range of local and international participants. His immersion in the Wake continues apace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The James Joyce Institute of Ireland<\/strong> was founded in Dublin in 1975 by a group of dedicated Joyceans whose mission is to foster knowledge of Joyce\u2019s writings \u2018among the ordinary people of Dublin\u2019 in circles outside the universities. This was done through the hosting of public lectures on Joyce and his work (a role later inherited by the James Joyce Centre) and the convening of a succession of reading groups to encourage people to engage with the Joycean canon. The Institute also commemorates notable dates such as Joyce\u2019s birthday and Bloomsday every year, as well as organising trips to places associated with Joyce and his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Doors open at 6pm. The event is free but booking is essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ie\/e\/dear-dirty-dumpling-dublin-in-finnegans-wake-tickets-1245905720549?aff=oddtdtcreator\">Get Tickets<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4691,"parent":0,"template":"","event_cats":[14],"class_list":["post-4689","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_categories-lecture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Dear Dirty Dumpling&#039;: Dublin in Finnegans Wake - James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Ireland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&#039;Dear Dirty Dumpling&#039;: Dublin in Finnegans Wake - James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Ireland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lecture 13 March 2025 at 6.30pm Join us at the James Joyce Centre for an insightful talk about Finnegans Wake by John Dredge on Thursday, 13 March 2025 at 6.30pm as part of our Spring Lecture Series 2025.
