On the Distinctions Between Spoken and Written Language in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Frank Leahy
Abstract: Figures as diverse as Samuel Beckett and Marshall McLuhan have lauded Joyce for his unusual awareness of the distinct conventions and characteristics of language as it occurs in different forms (primarily spoken and written). Such commentary usually focuses on Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. While more formally restrained than Joyce’s two greatest works, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

On the New Stars in Ulysses James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Peter D. Usher
Abstract: The Ghost in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet appears from the direction of a bright new star, which James Joyce in Ulysses identifies as the New Star of 1572, a supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia. In the book, Stephen Dedalus asserts that this celestial outburst occurs about the time of Shakespeare’s birth, but Shakespeare was born eight years earlier. This essay studies this New Star

"Wandering Rocks" and the Politics of Social Complexity James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Emery Jenson
Abstract: Joyce famously composed the tenth episode of Ulysses, “Wandering Rocks,” with painstaking reference to a map of Dublin, becoming, in his words, “a scissors and paste man.” This essay asks—what might it mean to become scissors and paste readers? Radicalizing the form of repetition and interpolation in “Wandering Rocks,” this study conducts an experimental reading of the episode to show how

Reading the City: Cultural Memory and the Representation of Colonial Dublin in James Joyce's Ulysses James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Maximilian Feldner
Abstract: James Joyce once claimed that his Ulysses (1922) could serve as a basis for a future rebuilding of Dublin. The irony in this regard is that Dublin did indeed irrevocably change during the period he was writing the book. Besides the natural changes a city undergoes in two decades, the Irish struggle for independence during which large parts of the city center were shelled to rubble contributed

Reintroducing the Sirens' Fugue James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Elvin Meng
Abstract: This essay revisits the difficulty around “musical” interpretations of the “Sirens” episode of Ulysses. It argues that reading the episode through a looser notion of the fugue than previously suggested can contribute significantly to the understanding of the episode’s texture, narrative mediation, and renderings of affect, without committing to the establishment of formal correspondences

Induction, Deduction, and Visual-Spatial Perception: The Finnegans Wake Intelligence Test James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Elena Violaris
Abstract: Finnegans Wake makes intense demands on its readers’ intellectual energies, and I propose that the text brings our cognitive reasoning capacities to the foreground by putting them to work. In this, the Wake resembles an intelligence test, calling upon abilities of deduction, induction, and visual-spatial perception. Using deduction, readers draw upon existing linguistic paradigms in order

James Joyce, Displacement, Human Rights: Introduction James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-09-01 Ellen Carol Jones
Joyce—as a "voluntary exile" and at times a forcibly displaced person—wrote at a time of colonialism, rebellions against imperialism, civil wars, world wars, genocidal persecutions, and the global movements of people. Migrants, refugees, asylum-seekers: these are the people fated to survive—if they survive—in what Hannah Arendt in The Origins of Totalitarianism calls the "barbed-wire labyrinth" of

Stephen's Telescopic Imagination: Geography, Astronomy, and Spatial Analytics in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-09-01 Jason David Hall

Henry Flower Esq. and the Uses of History for Life in Ulysses James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2023-09-01 Matthew Fogarty

I argue that Bloom creates this

"Salient points caused by foot pressure": The Language of Feet in Ulysses James Joyce Quarterly Pub Date : 2022-12-09 Mark Osteen
Abstract: Ulysses is full of walkers. Leopold Bloom himself covers about eight miles on foot (and ten more by vehicles) on 16 June. This essay demonstrates how, throughout Ulysses, figures of feet are associated with figures of speech, primarily metonymy and synecdoche. The essay argues that the descriptions of characters' feet and shoes are frequently presented with a tropic and rhythmic sophistication
