PLEASE NOTE: This discussion is on Wednesday, February 18th at 16.00, not Monday 16th as previously advertised. 

On the occasion of the launch of her new book Making Time in Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon, author Maria Pramaggiore will be joined by Chris Morris (Professor of Music, NUIM) and Richard Daniels (Senior Archivist, Stanley Kubrick Archive) to explore the transnational nature of Kubrick’s overlooked masterpiece. This fascinating hybrid which has defied categorisation is an adaptation of a British novel by an American director about an Irish subject, filmed throughout Ireland and in England, Scotland and Germany.

Professor Christopher Morris, Head of Music, Maynooth University will discuss his paper”A Dialect from Nowhere”: Music in Barry Lyndon.  On first hearing, the music chosen for Barry Lyndon seems to be carefully situated both historically and geographically. The styles and genres of the musical cues can even be understood to chart the protagonist’s social climb from provincial Ireland to European high society. Closer scrutiny, however, reveals something more ambiguous: a playful musical layering of artifice and disguise that destabilizes time and place.  Mr. Richard Daniels, Senior Archivist at the Stanley Kubrick Archive, University of the Arts, London will discuss  his paper On Location in the Archive: What the Kubrick collection tells us about the production of Barry Lyndon.
