James Joyce Newestlatter November 2016 2 2017 NORTH AMERICAN JAMES JOYCE SYMPOSIUM: TORONTO 2017 NORTH AMERICAN JAMES JOYCE SYMPOSIUM VICTORIA COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO JUNE 21-25, 2017 James Joyce grew up in the shadow of a massive diaspora brought about by the devastating potato famine of the 1840’s, when Ireland lost fully a third of its population to death and forced migration. By the end of the nineteenth century, 40% of Irish-born people were living elsewhere. The city of Toronto is also marked by that history: relatively small at the time, with a population of only 30,000, at the height of the famine it became a destination for nearly twice that number of Irish men, women, and children. Ireland Park, on the quayside at the foot of Bathurst St., created in 2007 as a famine memorial with four sculptures intended by Irish sculptor Rowan Gillespie to complement his Famine figures in Dublin, provides an artistic link between Dublin and Toronto, as if sister cities. Now, in the twenty-first century, Toronto has become uniquely multicultural: slightly more than half its citizens were born in another country, drawn from every part of the world. Joyce, who lived and wrote in Dublin, Trieste, Zurich, Paris, and (briefly) London, knew of diaspora personally, and as a witness. His fiction is imbued with yearnings to return to home, or trepidation at leaving it, as well as a keen interest in how borders or the lack of them create violent confrontation, whether it be an altercation in a local pub, an estrangement in a marriage, or the launching of a World War. In so- called “globalization,” money itself is also diasporic: transnational corporations and free flowing capital, trade agreements and mobile labor forces, the unequal distribution of wealth and the continuing increase of precarious employment. James Joyce Newestlatter November 2016 3 2017 NORTH AMERICAN SYMPOSIUM, CON’T This invites us to consider the various movements linked to the diasporic: not only transnational capital, but also transgenerational trauma and even perhaps the transmigration of souls. Joyce shows us barriers are everywhere: in ourselves, in our relations to others, between our hope and our reality, driving our desire and threatening our peace of mind. For Joyce, the political is not just the personal, it is a part of the unconscious. History, in Stephen Dedalus’s famous metaphor, “is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.” In its modest way, we propose Diasporic Joyce as a further contribution to a geopolitical, transnational, interpersonal “wake-up call.” CALL FOR PAPERS: In the spirit of past conferences and symposia, we look forward to receiving proposals on a diverse range of Joyce-related topics. We particularly welcome papers that reflect on the implications of diaspora. For example: *Home, Homeward, Homely, Homeless *Another Removal: Dislocation, Relocation, Allocation *Around the World in Hasty Days: London, Trieste, Zurich, Paris *Dyoublong?: Leave-taking and Arrival *World War I: Refugees, Internment Camps, and Safe Passage *I Dreamt That I Dwelt: Distant Lands *Raising the Wind: Circulation, Circumlocution, Circumcision *A Lust in Wander Land: Travelling, Mapping, Navigating, Encountering *Missionary Style: Spreading the Word Abroad with Irish Jesuits *Scattering, Fragmentation, Dispersal *Return, Reception *Same old Ding Dong Always: Integration, Disintegration, Reintegration *Distant Music: Hybridity, Borderlands, Translation *Jim and Nora’s Excellent Adventure: Marriage on the Lam *Telmetale of Stem or Stone: Stories From at Home and Abroad *Come, Thou Lost One: Memory, Trauma, Mourning *What Happens in Paris, Stays in Paris: Joyce and Beckett as Expatriates *Potato I have: Joyce and the Great Famine *The Irishman’s House Is His Coffin: Place, Space, Local, Global *I Paid My Way: Globalize, Colonize, Capitalize, Monetize *Bullock Befriending Bard: Import, Export, Deport *Your Head it Simply Swurls: Movement of People, Movement of Ideas *Beyond the Pale: Joyce and the Countryside *He Touched Me Father Where: Crossing Boundaries—national, political, psychological, sexual, physiological, social, economic, linguistic. Please submit proposals for individual papers or panels by January 15, 2017, to: Garry Leonard [email protected] and Jennifer Levine [email protected] James Joyce Newestlatter November 2016 4 REPORT ON THE XXV INTERNATIONAL JAMES JOYCE SYMPOSIUM For my second International James Joyce Symposium, at the University of London, I was fortunate enough to deliver my paper during the first panel session of the first day, allowing me to cast off the typical conference albatross of continual paper tinkering throughout the week. As a result, I was able to attend as many panel and plenary sessions as possible, giving me the opportunity to rub elbows with the droves of Joyceans packed tightly into the too-small rooms of the University’s Senate House. At times, this rubbing of elbows was literal, as there was scarcely even standing room available during some panels. These panels included “Joyce, Militarism, and 1916”: Luke Gibbons’s argument about the Easter Rising being a modernist (and more Joycean) event linked to mass culture, internationalism, and technology made an interesting counterpart to Vincent Cheng’s discussion of the commemorative martyrology of Robert Emmet, Christ, and Patrick Pearse as informing Joyce’s work. “Adultery in Joyce,” Valerie Bénéjam’s thoughtful consideration of adultery as a cognitive and linguistic problem in Exiles was the high point in a panel that also featured Austin Briggs’s enigmatic personal anecdote about his wife and a movie theater. And “Mugwump Wake,” Finn Fordham’s paper on the politics of style in Joyce’s development, jived with Sam Slote’s emphasis on the Wakean politics of the “corructive.” Of course, the sheer scale of the Symposium permits attendees to hear only a fraction of what is presented. To mitigate such scalar impediments without the magical luxury of, say, a time-turner à la the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Joyceans took to social media to provide comprehensive coverage. Who among us is not indebted to the exhaustive live-tweeting team of James Fraser (who was awarded the Symposium’s honorific of “most prolific twitterer”), Daniel Curran, Helen Saunders, Paul Fagan, Katherine Ebury, Tamara Radak (“most charismatic twitterer”), Lloyd Houston, Sam Slote, and Andrew Ferguson, among others? These Twitter heroes battled uneven Wifi signals and thumb fatigue to deliver up-to-the-minute reports of the Symposium’s goings-on, all in 140-character bursts no less. Given the Symposium’s general theme of Anniversary, it was not surprising to hear many papers that were thematically linked to various historical events, including, but not limited to the centenary of the Easter Rising, the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare, the founding of Dadaism, and, of course, the centennial anniversary of the publication of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

  • The Late Drafts of James Joyceand Malcolm Lowry
    WOMEN'SVOICES: THE LATE DRAFTS OF JAMES JOYCEAND MALCOLM LOWRY Sue Vice University ofsheffield This is an examination of points of comparison between the works of James Joyce and Malcolm Lowry in tenns of their pre-publication revisions to their central female characters: Yvonne in Under the Volcano, Molly Bloom in Uiysses. Do Lowry and Joyce have methods of revision in common? Are these women characters affected by such revisions in similar ways? Do they become 'freer' and more dialogmd, in Mikhail Bakhtin's tenns, or is there a negative connection between their linguistic gender and the author's masculinity, the wielding of a blue pen over a textual b*?' And Wy, how do such pre-publication revisions affect the textual construction of femininity which we md in the published form? Can a case be made for such authorial transvestism actually putting into question accepted gender roles, voices and behaviour patterns? To start with Under the Volcano,in Yvonne's case a drama occurs in the five full drafts which Lowry produced over ten years2 It could be seen as Oedipal: the dnuiken Consul's daughter becomes the alcoholic Consul's wife; Hugh, the daughter's boyfriend, becomes the Consul's half-brother and possibly adulterous lover of Yvonne; and Laruelle looms increasingly larger, ñrst as a hoverer over the Consul's daughter, then as another possible lover of his wife. However, what Yvonne's metamorphosis fkom daughter to wife also shows is, ñrst, how Lowry's pracíice involved progressively casíing off the conventional intnisive narrator and allowing the characters to speak for themselves, so that, as Bakhtin would say: "we have a pluraiity of consciousnesses, with equal rights, each with its own world" (Bakhtin 1984, 104).

    Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce’s Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English Studies School of English, Drama, American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis considers the imbrications created by James Joyce in his writing with the work of John Milton, through allusions, references and verbal echoes. These imbrications are analysed in light of the concept of ‘presence’, based on theories of intertextuality variously proposed by John Shawcross, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Eelco Runia. My analysis also deploys Gumbrecht’s concept of stimmung in order to explain how Joyce incorporates a Miltonic ‘atmosphere’ that pervades and enriches his characters and plot. By using a chronological approach, I show the subtlety of Milton’s presence in Joyce’s writing and Joyce’s strategy of weaving it into the ‘fabric’ of his works, from slight verbal echoes in Joyce’s early collection of poems, Chamber Music, to a culminating mass of Miltonic references and allusions in the multilingual Finnegans Wake.

  • James Joyce and His Influences: William Faulkner and Anthony Burgess
    James Joyce and His Influences: William Faulkner and Anthony Burgess An abstract of a Dissertation by Maxine i!3urke July, Ll.981 Drake University Advisor: Dr. Grace Eckley The problem. James Joyce's Ulysses provides a basis for examining and analyzing the influence of Joyce on selected works of William Faulkner and Anthony Bur­ gess especially in regard to the major ideas and style, and pattern and motif. The works to be used, in addi­ tion to Ulysses, include Faulkner's "The Bear" in Go Down, Moses and Mosquitoes and Burgess' Nothing Like the Sun. For the purpose, then, of determining to what de­ gree Joyce has influenced other writers, the ideas and techniques that explain his influence such as his lingu­ istic innovations, his use of mythology, and his stream­ of-consciousness technique are discussed. Procedure. Research includes a careful study of each of the works to be used and an examination of var­ ious critics and their works for contributions to this influence study. The plan of analysis and presentation includes, then, a prefatory section of the dissertation which provides a general statement stating the thesis of this dissertation, some background material on Joyce and his Ulysses, and a summary of the material discussed in each chapter. Next are three chapters which explain Joyce's influence: an introduction to Joyce and Ulysses; Joyce and Faulkner; and Joyce and Burgess. Thus Chapter One, for the purpose of showing how Joyce influences other writers, discusses the ideas and techniques that explain his influences--such things as his linguistic innovations, his use of mythology, and his stream-of­ consciousness method.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-space: Manchester Metropolitan University's Research Repository Walking, Witnessing, Mapping: An Interview with Iain Sinclair David Cooper and Les Roberts Les Roberts (LR): In Lights Out for the Territory (2003: 142) you write: ‘We have to recognise the fundamental untrustworthiness of maps: they are always pressure group publications. They represent special pleading on behalf of some quango with a subversive agenda, something to sell. Maps are a futile compromise between information and knowledge. They require a powerful dose of fiction to bring them to life.’ In what ways do maps and mapping practices inform your work as a writer? Iain Sinclair (IS): What I’ve done from the start, I think, has been to try, linguistically, to create maps: my purpose, my point, has always been to create a map of somewhere by which I would know not only myself but a landscape and a place. When I call it a ‘map’, it is a very generalised form of a scrapbook or a cabinet of curiosities that includes written texts and a lot of photographs. I have what could be a map of the world made entirely of these hundreds and hundreds of snapshots that aren’t aesthetically wonderful, necessarily, but are a kind of logging of information, seeing the same things over and over again and creating plural maps that exist in all kinds of times and at the same time. It’s not a sense of a map that wants to sell something or to present a particular agenda of any kind; it’s a series of structures that don’t really take on any other form of description.

  • A Voz De Nora Barnacle
    A VOZ DE NORA BARNACLE DIRCE WALTRICK DO AMARANTE egundo Brenda Maddox, biógrafa de Nora Barnacle, “Nora não tinha diário. O que poderia reconstruir sua personalidade S pertencia em grande parte a seu cunhado Stanislaus Joyce. Foi ele quem salvou, e sua viúva depois vendeu para Cornell, a ampla coleção de cartas privadas que revela quase tudo que se sabe sobre fatos da família de Nora, seu namoro e seu relacionamento com James Joyce”.1 Grande parte da correspondência entre o casal foi escrita apenas por Joyce, já que Nora não gostava de redigir cartas e só o fazia por necessidade. Não são raras as vezes em que Joyce, nas cartas à companheira, a chama de “caladinha”, “silenciosa” e implora que ela lhe escreva. As cartas de Joyce a Nora, reunidas neste volume, teriam, como todas as correspondências amorosas, de acordo com a tese de Roland Barthes, a seguinte característica: “eu falo e você me escuta, logo nós somos”,2 numa frase de Ponge, retomada pelo crítico francês. Portanto, prossegue Barthes,“o discurso amoroso sufoca o outro, que não encontra nenhum espaço para a sua própria palavra sob esse dizer maciço”.3 Ou seja, “o outro é desfigurado por seu mutismo, como naqueles sonhos pavorosos nos quais tal pessoa amada aparece com a parte inferior do rosto apagada, privada de boca; e eu que falo, sou também desfigurado: o solilóquio faz de mim um monstro, uma enorme língua.”4 Ao mesmo tempo, entretanto, como afirma o pensador italiano Giorgio Agamben, “só as palavras nos põem em contato com as coisas mudas”.5 Nesse aspecto, as cartas de Joyce dão visibilidade a Nora Barnacle, sua companheira de vida, nascida em Galway em 21 ou 22 (igreja e estado não estão de acordo 1 Maddox, Brenda.
