Book Chapter
JAMES JOYCE AND THE SCENT OF MODERNITY
2013
Overview
The interwar debate about pleasure clusters most intensely around cinema and popular literature. However, I will begin with a sensual experience that has received far less attention: smell, and specifically perfume, viewed as a vehicle of pleasure that is as interpretable as any text. Recent scholarship on the modernist sensorium focuses almost exclusively on vision and hearing, and few literary critics have attended to the olfactory sense. Historically, smell has been construed as vision’s other: the archaic to the modern, the spontaneous to the cultivated, the irrational to the logical. Accordingly, the pleasures of scent have been dismissed as frivolous
