Joyce without Borders
2022
Overview
This book addresses James Joyce's borderlessness and the ways
his work crosses or unsettles boundaries of all kinds. The essays
in this volume position borderlessness as a major key to
understanding Joycean poiesis, opening new doors and new
engagements with his work.
Contributors begin by exploring the circulation of Joyce's
writing in Latin America via a transcontinental network of writers
and translators, including José Lezama Lima, José Salas Subirat,
Leopoldo Marechal, Edmundo Desnoës, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, and
Augusto Monterroso. Essays then consider Joyce through the lens of
the sciences, presenting theoretical interventions on posthumanist
parasitology in Ulysses ; on Giordano Bruno's coincidence
of opposites in Finnegans Wake ; and on algorithmic agency
in the Wake . Cutting-edge cognitive narratology is applied
to the \"Penelope\" episode.
Next, the volume features innovative essays on Joyce in relation
to early animated film and comics, engaging with animated film in
the \"Circe\" episode, Joyce's points of contact with George
Herriman's cartoon strip Krazy Kat , and structural
affinities between open-world gaming and Finnegans Wake .
The final essays focus on abiding human concerns, offering new
research on Joyce's creative use of \"spicy books\"; a Lacanian
consideration of \"The Dead\" alongside Katherine Mansfield's \"The
Stranger\" and Haruki Murakami's \"Kino\"; and a meditation on Joyce's
uncertainties about the boundary between life and death.
For Joyce, borders are problems-but ones that provided precious
fodder for his art. And as this volume demonstrates, they encourage
brilliant reflections on his work, from new scholars to leading
luminaries in the field.
