Abstract:Can James Joyce's Ulysses be read with the ears instead of the eyes? This essay considers what difference it makes to listen to one of the modernist era's most formally experimental narratives. Its use of the term "accessible modernism" encapsulates attempts to make a literary movement notorious for its difficulty accessible in alternative formats to people with disabilities. Sound recording helped make modernism accessible to blind and partially-sighted people in particular. Talking books, or narratives read aloud by professional actors onto a set of phonograph or gramophone records, made it possible for those who struggled to read in the conventional way to engage Joyce's novel in an alternative medium from print. What follows is a close examination of the measures taken by the American Foundation for the Blind to remediate Joyce's novel into sound despite concerns that it was either too daunting or too transgressive. The essay proceeds to show how the ensuing recording preserved a surprising number of bibliographic elements of Joyce's novel while at the same time dispensing with others and even, in some instances, generating new meanings altogether.

尤利西斯，失明和可及的现代主义

摘要：詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》可以用耳朵而不是眼睛来阅读吗？本文考虑聆听现代主义时代最正式的实验性叙述之一有何不同。它使用“可访问的现代主义”一词来概括使文学运动声名狼藉的尝试，因为它难以以其他形式供残疾人使用。录音有助于使现代主义特别适合盲人和弱视人群。专业演员大声朗读的有声读物或叙事片上有一套留声机或留声机唱片，这使那些以传统方式苦苦挣扎的人们有可能将乔伊斯的小说用另一种印刷媒体代替。接下来是对美国盲人基金会为纠正乔伊斯的小说改编成声音而采取的措施的仔细检查，尽管有人担心它太过艰巨或过于冒犯。本文继续说明随后的录音如何保留了乔伊斯小说中令人惊讶的书目元素，同时又消除了其他书目元素，甚至在某些情况下甚至产生了新的含义。
