A reading of selected writings of James Joyce in relation to the works of Gilles Deleuze (and Félix Guattari)
Get PDFChapter One consists in a more complete survey of the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari on the works of James Joyce than has previously been available,
together with an overview of Deleuzian philosophy. The focus in the first chapter is on Deleuze and Deleuze and Guattari's reading of philosophers and writers alike as
4 symptornatologists' of their times and the ethico-political beliefs which they implicitly share with Joyce. I relate this to Hardt and Negri's political speculations.
The conceptual 'tools' which make up 'schizoanalysis' are set out. The second chapter uses these tools in a 'symptomatological' diagnosis by first setting out and
then going beyond Joyce's depiction of the 'paralysis' of the populace in Dubliners and A Portrait to his fuller understanding of our problematic situation in modernity
depicted and diagnosed in the masochism of Bloom in Ulysses. In Chapter Three, I look at the epiphany, Deleuze's concept of Joyce's 'epiphanic machine', 'duration' as understood by Bergson and Deleuze, and the Deleuzian concept of 'affect' as potentially liberatory insights, after the preceding focus on negative
4 symptornatological' diagnoses. Together with a critique of the prevailing views of Joyce's epiphany I analyse three stories in Dubliners as illustrative of Deleuze's
understanding of the concept of the epiphany. In the fourth and fifth chapters I focus on Issy in the Wake read in terms of the 'bird-girl' of A Portrait and couple this with
the Deleuzian concept of the 'girl' as a crucial, but misunderstood, node in what can be seen as the 'rhizomatic assemblage' or 'network' constituting the 'epiphanic
machine' of the Wake. In Chapter Four, after first setting out the range of readings of Issy available in current Joycean criticism, I look at 'The Mime of Mick Nick and the
Maggies' (FW219.18-252.21) in terms of a further Joycean challenge to modernity's 'oedipalising' tendencies through Izod/ Issy. Here, I place a final emphasis on the
significance of incest and the incest taboo in 'the Mime' as the culmination of Joyce's 'symptomatological' diagnosis of modernity, and in counterbalancing this, his use of
the 'affect' of colour to offer us a productive 'line of flight'. In Chapter Five I recapitulate on Deleuze's highlighting of the letter in his positive comments on the
Wake and then, by using some established discussions in Joycean criticism as an introduction, engage in a reading of Issy's letter (FW 279F 1) as the Wakean 'line of
flight' by reading 'her' as liberatory 'desiring machine' with all of its ethico-political potentialities
Open destinies : modern American women and the short story cycle
Get PDFThis thesis examines the juncture between the short story cycle form and gender politics. It explores how twentieth-century women from the United States have been using the form to represent and question gender identity. The introduction outlines commentaries on the story cycle and considers definitions of the form. It includes case studies of earlier twentieth-century cycles by American women: cycles such as Mary McCarthy's The Company She Keeps that have been passed over by critics of the form.
Chapter One presents Eudora Welty's The Golden Apples as a cycle paradigm, examining conventions such as the form's metafictional dimension and its preoccupation with communal identity. Chapter Two argues that Grace Paley's scattered Faith narratives set a standard for more dispersed versions of the form. Chapter Three considers how Joyce Carol Oates uses the sequential cycle to represent gender identity as a social construct. Chapters Four and Five examine the macrocosmic cycles of Gloria Naylor and Louise Erdrich and consider changes in their form and gender politics. The final 'composite' chapters explore postmodern versions of the form such as Susan Minot's Monkeys. The prose works of Sandra Cisneros stretch across the story cycle continuum, whilst Toni Morrison's Paradise is universally regarded as a novel. Readings of contemporary cycles by Melissa Bank, Elissa Schappell and Emily Carter demonstrate that American women are re-invigorating the form to facilitate the plural identity of the postmodern heroine
A poet(h)ics of intercultural dissonance: dynamics of perception in Elizabeth Bishop's braz/silian texts
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente.Análise da poética intercultural de Elizabeth Bishop, elaborando uma percepção expansiva de dissonância ou choque cultural, que problematiza os próprios termos através dos quais o pensamento antitético reduz a realidade experiencial. Demonstra inter-relações entre os textos teórico-críticos de Bishop, que engajam sua crise com a concepção linear do tempo narrativo, e a concepção de 'dissonância emancipatória' ou atonal elaborada por Arnold Schöenberg. Demonstra que os mapeamentos de dissonância cultural feitos por Bishop no Brasil desafiam seus próprios modelos esteticistas e solucionistas (lineares, teleológicas) de representação (especificamente, os modelos de transculturalismo e autenticismo), ao se recusarem a resolver a alteridade (do outro e do eu) na uniformidade (consonância), ou mesmo a dissolver seus conflitos, fixando a alteridade num 'passado atemporal' (sic), primitivizado. Examina a crise (a crítica) textual de consciência social e de gênero no corpus brasileiro de Bishop, argumentando que ele se torna valioso justamente porque a autora fracassa, e de modo perturbador, em realizar seu projeto de produzir resolução sobre suas percepções dissonantes da realidade. Engaja uma política irredutível ou ética de leitura que recusa reduzir o texto intercultural de Bishop a seus discursos solipsistas, pelos quais até mesmo atos aparentemente democráticos convergem dissimuladamente com dinâmicas totalitárias
