Research interests
Arianna's research has focused on how the translation act can serve as a critical tool for understanding the “music” of Joyce’s “Sirens”, which Joyce claimed to have written adopting the musical technique of the “fuga per canonem” (JJ, 462). Arianna’s translation professional practice is deeply connected to her research, and her study has given rise to her “experimental translation” (Scott 2012, 2018) of “Sirens” into Italian. Her monograph, 'James Joyce’s Music Performed: the ‘Sirens’ fugue in Experimental Re-Translation', which includes her experimental translation of Joyce’s “Sirens” into Italian, is forthcoming with Legenda in 2025.
In her current research she is interested in musico-literary texts, music translation, creativity and technology.
Arianna has published several articles on translation, Joyce, and music. For her translation of "Sirens", Arianna was awarded a Special Translation Scholarship by the Zürich James Joyce Foundation; her translation, forthcoming with Legenda, has also been part of the Ulysses von 100 Seiten exhibition at the Strauhof Museum in Zürich in 2022.
