Abstract
This paper locates itself at the intersection of adaptation studies and new media studies to examine and contextualise recent new media screen adaptations of the work of Irish writer James Joyce, following the expiration of copyright on Joyce's work in 2012. Recent apps, websites, and Virtual Reality programmes will be introduced and analysed to assess the potential within such adaptations to challenge established conventions relating to how the reader / user experience's Joyce's work, opening up such canonical work to multiplicities of meanings and interpretations.
