David Bowie Strange Fascination Symposium:
Presentation to Presentation
A full score of papers were presented on the Dame at the University of Limerick. As befits their subject, the topics were diverse, ranging from questions of identity to questions of authorship. Little wonder the organisers decided not to theme the sessions. So here they are -- as summaries, key points, pull-out quotes and links -- in no other order than the one in which they were given. Sit back, enjoy ... put on some tunes.
