The main goal of the conference was to explore, on one hand the diversity of cultures and languages which went into making Joyce’s world and on the other hand Joyce’s impact on world literature. Finn Fordham (Royal Holloway, University of London) and Richard Brown (University of Leeds) were invited as keynote speakers at the conference. Needless to say, that a special panel was devoted to Joyce’s translations and studies in Georgia. The reception of James Joyce’s works in different European Cultures followed divergent paths, largely depending on the cultural and political climate of the country. When Modernism and Joyce’s works emerged, Georgia, a country with more than a fifteen-century literary tradition, was under the Soviet regime with its strict censorship and ideological purge. Nevertheless, after Stalin’s death Joyce soon became one of the most translated and studied authors in Georgia. We cannot claim big names in Joyce studies and cannot boast to have his works translated as early as in his lifetime. Nevertheless, the fact that most of his works have been translated into a language spoken only by less than 4 million people, the number of works dedicated to Joyce studies in Georgian and two international Conferences held at Tbilisi State University already seem remarkable. It was Nico Kiasashvili, head of the English Department and Centre for Shakespeare Studies at Tbilisi State University who in the 60-70ies laid foundation to Joyce studies in Georgia. A man of great industry and vast contacts with Western colleagues, which was rare at that time, Nico was a real Kulturträger, whose impact on introducing European culture into Georgia as well as raising generations of future translators and scholars can never be underestimated. He published a number of articles introducing writers then unknown in the USSR (Joyce, Lawrence, Pinter, Golding, etc.), translated Giacomo Joyce both into Russian and Georgian from a copy sent to him by Richard Ellmann soon after the publication of the text. He translated Ulysses (first three episodes were printed as early as in 1971 in an almanac; first ten episodes were published as a book with his introduction and commentary in 1983), organized James Joyce Centenary Conference – the first Joyce Conference in the Soviet Union (1982) and edited a book of Collected Papers of the Conference (1984). 7 saerTaSoriso konferencia jeimz joisi da samyaro In 2017 a group of Georgian scholars was awarded a research grant by Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation to carry out the project: James Joyce translations and studies in Georgia. The present Conference and the publication of this volume became possible through the financial support of Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation Grant. Manana Gelashvili 8 International Conference JAMES JOYCE AND THE WORLD FINN FORDHAM ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Joyce’s worlds of words. ‘Whirled without end to end’ (582.20) This paper responds directly to the title of the Tbilisi conference: ‘James Joyce and the World’, which, sounding a broad theme, is a voluminous and fine net to capture any topic, large or small. Rather than flying by its nets, I have chosen - quixotically perhaps – to examine not just Joyce, but ‘the world’, the mesh that we’re in (which should perhaps read ‘the mess that we’re in’ if, like me, you’re from the UK). And I hope from there to begin an exploration of ‘The World According to Joyce’, especially in Finnegans Wake, which was initially conceived by Joyce as a history of the world, and which has become an example, even an emblem, of ‘world literature’. The exploration will be assisted by the word ‘world’, as it is presented in the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edition), and as it is spun through Joyce’s works. Joyce’s works, I suggest, are located within - and a key contribution to - a period when meanings of ‘the world’ were shifting: one sense of the world (OED sense III.16), the social ‘worldly’ world, had shrunk; while another sense of ‘world’ (OED sense II.10), pointing to a relatively private system, was expanding. In the latter the microcosm of one’s immediate context is inflated through subjectivity into a macrocosm.The many worlds of individual consciousnesses compensate perhaps for the loss of ‘the broader world’, whether held in the safe pair of hands of a transcendent consciousness, or the less safe pair of a liberal social conscience.This shift may suggest a narrative of modernity as fragmentation and alienation, alongside the loss of any transcendent perspective.Joyce’s exploration and reconstruction of private worlds, his expulsion of transcendence through ironisation, makes him a contributor to this worldview.And yet, a new shift has emerged since Joyce’s death: with an awareness of the anthropocene, there is a need for a greater integration of ‘world’ and ‘earth’, and with it a return to a singular real world.Can we find inspiration for doing this in Joyce’s modernist fabular world? There are many ways in to Joyce’s world of words.I will enter via the word ‘world’ and its many distortions in Finnegans Wake.These include: ‘the whirled’ (582.20), ‘the 9 saerTaSoriso konferencia jeimz joisi da samyaro whirrld’ (147.22), ‘wonderwearlds’ (147.28) (which carries wonder, underworlds, and underwear), ‘the walled’ (163.27), ‘the worrild’ (258.21), ‘whorled (without aimed)’ (272.04), ‘woyld’
