Abstract:For decades, the man in the macintosh has remained one of literary modernism’s most enduring enigmas. This study applies the occult theories of the Society for Psychical Research—and specifically Edmund Gurney’s concept of the phantasm—to elucidate the ghostly figure in Ulysses. Not only does a psychical reading of M’Intosh as a telepathic hallucination provide fresh insights into his famously indeterminant identity, but it also highlights a mystico-scientific structure traversing much of the text. Joyce’s engagement with esoteric science thus suggests a paranormal thematic that resonates with the latent supernaturalism of his larger oeuvre and the burgeoning critical discourse around occult modernism.

Macintosh 中的人与神秘学

摘要:几十年来,Macintosh 中的人一直是文学现代主义最经久不衰的谜团之一。这项研究应用了心理研究协会的神秘理论——特别是埃德蒙·格尼的幻觉概念——来阐明尤利西斯中的幽灵形象。将 M'Intosh 作为一种心灵感应幻觉的心理解读不仅为他以不确定的身份着名提供了新的见解,而且还突出了贯穿大部分文本的神秘科学结构。因此,乔伊斯对神秘科学的参与暗示了一个超自然主题,与他更大的作品中潜在的超自然主义和围绕神秘现代主义的新兴批评话语产生共鸣。
