III. Conclusion
Joyce's work still has a profound influence on contemporary culture.[408][ay] Ulysses is a model for fiction writers, particularly its explorations in the power of language.[397] Its emphasis on the details of everyday life have opened up new possibilities of expression for authors, painters and film-makers.[409] It retains its prestige among readers, often ranking high on 'Great Book' lists.[410] Joyce's innovations extend beyond English literature: his writing has been an inspiration for Latin American writers,[411] and Finnegans Wake has become one of the key texts for French post-structuralism.[412] It also provided the name for the quark, one of the elementary particles proposed by physicist Murray Gell-Mann.[413][az]
The open-ended form of Joyce's novels keep them open to constant reinterpretation.[415] They inspire an increasingly global community of literary critics. Joyce studies—based on a relatively small canon of three novels, a small short story collection, one play, and two small books of poems—have generated over 15,000 articles, monographs, theses, translations, and ions.[416]
In popular culture, the work and life of Joyce is celebrated annually on 16 June, known as Bloomsday, in Dublin and in an increasing number of cities worldwide.[417]
Museums and study centres[]
The National Library of Ireland holds a large collection of Joycean material including manuscripts and notebooks, much of it available online.[418] A joint venture between the library and University College Dublin, the Museum of Literature Ireland (branded MoLI in homage to Molly Bloom),[419] the majority of whose exhibits are about Joyce and his work, has both a small permanent Joyce-related collection, and borrows from its parent institutions; its displays include "Copy No. 1" of Ulysses.[420] Dedicated centres in Dublin include the James Joyce Centre in North Great George's Street, the James Joyce Tower and Museum in Sandycove (the Martello tower where Joyce once lived, and the setting for the opening scene in Ulysses), and the Dublin Writers Museum.
