The Songs That Saved Your Life (Again): A Symposium on Morrissey

University of Limerick, April 24th - 25th 2009.

This two day symposium on April 24th and April 25th celebrated Morrissey's 20 year career as a solo-recording artiste. This unique event featured 20 Irish and international speakers presenting papers on Morrissey which examined, amongst other themes, his iconic status amongst immigrant Latino fans in Los Angeles, Morrissey and Italian popular culture as well as his use of ambiguity in the construction of his identity. The symposium also included a performance by These Charming Men at Dolan’s Warehouse Limerick and the European Debut Screening of ‘Passions Just Like Mine’ directed by Kerri Koch, Urban Cowgirl Productions, Los Angeles.
