Joyce-Song wall-crossing as an asymptotic expansion
No full textWe conjecture that the Joyce-Song wall-crossing formula for Donaldson-Thomas invariants arises naturally from an asymptotic expansion in the field-theoretic work of Gaiotto, Moore, and Neitzke. This would also give a new perspective on how the formulae of Joyce and Song and of Kontsevich and Soibelman are related. We check the conjecture in many examples

In my own fashion : the life history of Joyce Leininger
No full texttextThe social, religious, and political struggles of Joyce Leininger, a
woman who was born without hands and with legs that extended just below
her knees. Joyce led an extremely successful and productive life despite all of
the barriers put in her way by society’s negative view of her physical
difference. Joyce became a teacher, wife, and mother of three children.
Joyce’s youngest child is the author of Joyce’s life history and the experiences
of all Joyce's children, in relationship to how society treated them and their
mother because of her physical condition.Curriculum and Instructio
Joyce, Michael; 1989-10-03
No full textBiography: Michael Joyce (born 1945) is a professor of English at Vassar College, New York, US. He is also an important author and critic of electronic literature.
Joyce\u27s afternoon, a story, 1987, was among the first literary works of hypertext fiction to present itself as undeniably serious literature, and experimented with the short-story form in novel ways. It was created with the then-new Storyspace software, deployed the ambiguity and dubious narrator characteristic of high modernism, along with some suspense and romance elements, in a story whose meaning could change dramatically depending on the path taken through its lexias on each reading. For instance, a hard-to-find series of lexias presented a new set of facts about the narrator\u27s actions which affects the reader\u27s judgment of the narrator. In The New York Times, Robert Coover called afternoon the granddaddy of hypertext fictions , while The Toronto Globe and Mail said that it is to the hypertext interactive novel what the Gutenberg bible is to publishing. His Twilight, A Symphony (1996) was his second hypertext novel.
Joyce\u27s published books include War outside Ireland: a novel (1982), Of two minds: hypertext pedagogy and poetics (1995), Othermindedness: the emergence of network culture (2000), Moral tales and meditations: technological parables and refractions (2001) and Foucault, in Winter, in the Linnaeus Garden (2015). He is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop. He has been a Professor of English and Media Studies at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie.
Joyce has collaborated with Los Angeles-based visual artist Alexandra Grant. The work Grant has made based on his texts ( The Ladder Quartet and the Six Portals ) has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and Honor Fraser Gallery in Los Angeles.

The treatment of family life and relationships in the works of James Joyce from Dubliners to Ulysses
No full textPhDJoyce's treatment of family life and relationships reveals
both a continuing concern with many of the same themes and a
distinctive development from Dubliners to Ulysses. Throughout
the works he is concerned with such matters as the nature of
blood links, the tension between the needs of the individual
and the needs of the family, and the quality of human affection,
filial, parental, and sexual. While the early works, Dubliners,
Stephen Hero, and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,
present the family as a social institution of some importance,
Ulysses shows it to be associated with universal principles of
prime importance. Moreover, while the first three works present
a largely unfavourable and somewhat restricted view of family
life, Exiles and Ulysses develop extensively both the fundamental
value of family relationships and the complexities of
emotion and motive inherent in them.
The early concern with the limitations of family life
corresponds to similar concerns in contemporary writers whom
Joyce admired, Joyce's declared intentions in writing his own
works, and his somewhat unhappy experiences with his own family.
The shift to a more favourable and more complex view of family
life in the later works corresponds to his evident maturation
and to his increased recognition of the value of his own family
life. Thus Joyce's treatment of family life and relationships
is central to his development as man and artist.
While many critics have noted that the family is indeed
important in Joyce's works, none has examined the subject systematically
or treated many of the matters considered in this

New Dimensions in a Classic Novel: James Joyce
No full textJames Joyce is a fascinating writer, but he can be a most difficult author to teach. In her dissertation, Lynn Bongiovanni brings a recent viewpoint – empire theory – to bear on this most singular author and finds an interesting paradox. While Joyce inveighed against imperial rule – in this case, Ireland’s “colonization” by the British – he was capable of celebrating the fruits of empire in his writings. Just as you and I may deplore the consequences of what might be called the modern technology “empire,” even as we happily use our refrigerators and computers, Joyce had his own conflicted attitude towards empire.
In this brief excerpt from Prof. Bongionvanni’s full dissertation¸ and in her interview, the author begins to set out the structure and overview of Joyce’s conflicted politics. In the later parts of her dissertation, she goes into detail, using specific passages from Joyce’s prose to illustrate her thesis

James Joyce: From Hero to Author of the Bildungsroman
No full textWhen James Joyce went to Paris as a young man in 1902, he followed a narrative arc fundamental to the European Bildungsromane. Comparing Joyce’s motives and decisions with those of his fictional predecessors in novels by Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others, I argue that he acted at first as an unwitting and unreconstructed hero of the genre but that, as he wrote the last two stories for Dubliners in 1906-1907, he earned greater perspective over his life and writing. Little Chandler, Gallaher, and Gabriel Conroy proved to be especially important catalysts for a Joyce in evolution from hero to author of his own Bildungsroman
