Ulysses: Second Edition (Oxford World's Classics)
by James Joyce'- What is your nation if I may ask, says the citizen. - Ireland, says Bloom. I was born here. Ireland.' Ulysses, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of meaning to the text. Today critical interest centres on the authority of the text, and this edition, complete with an invaluable introduction, notes, and appendices, republishes without interference, the original 1922 text. Jeri Johnson's commentary guides the reader through this highly allusive novel in an edition acclaimed by scholars and general readers alike. This updated edition includes new explanatory notes, a revised introduction, and expanded bibliography. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Ulysses and Faust: Tradition and Modernism from Homer till the Present (Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature)
by Harry RednerUlysses and Faust: Tradition and Modernism from Homer till the Present examines the most important authors of Western literature: Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Marlowe, Goethe, Joyce, Eliot, Mann, Bulgakov and Pasternak, who based their works on one or other of the two key myths of the West, Ulysses and Faust. This volume provides a synoptic view of Western literature, as a foundation text for literary studies at all levels and as a way of encouraging people to once more engage with the major authors of our literary heritage. Ulysses and Faust considers the artistic revolution known as Modernism at the start of the twentieth century and the subsequent events in Europe, such as the World Wars and the totalitarian regimes, which led to a major break in Western civilization reflected in its literature. Consequently, these detailed critical studies illuminate their authors’ Weltanschauung, their view of life as it was lived in their time.

ULYSSES and Justice
by James McmichaelFor James McMichael, Joyce's Ulysses invites the wide range of interpretations it has received: what it also does is to prod its interpreters to put the book to some just use. If Ulysses were more conventional than it is, McMichael claims, its readers could set more comfortable limits for themselves in their responses to it, limits that did not extend beyond Ulysses into their dealings with persons in the world. But what happens instead is that the singularly unconventional narrative structure of Ulysses keeps reminding them that the story they are being told about any of the characters is the same kind of story they tell themselves whenever they think about a person. It reminds them that every person needs to be responded to justly and that the justice of their response to any person depends on how justly they characterize that person in their thoughts. McMichael insists that it is justice that Joyce himself most wants. Distinguishing Joyce not only from the immature Stephen Dedalus but also from Ulysses' perfectly unresponsive narrator, this study describes Joyce's tacit but discomforting plea that Ulysses be judged not so much for its literary mastery as for the degree to which it is a just response to persons in need.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Ulysses and the Poetics of Cognition (Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Stylistics)
by Patrick Colm HoganGiven Ulysses’ perhaps unparalleled attention to the operations of the human mind, it is unsurprising that critics have explored the work’s psychology. Nonetheless, there has been very little research that draws on recent cognitive science to examine thought and emotion in this novel. Hogan sets out to expand our understanding of Ulysses, as well as our theoretical comprehension of narrative—and even our views of human cognition. He revises the main narratological accounts of the novel, clarifying the complex nature of narration and style. He extends his cognitive study to encompass the anti-colonial and gender concerns that are so obviously important to Joyce’s work. Finally, through a combination of broad overviews and detailed textual analyses, Hogan seeks to make this notoriously difficult book more accessible to non-specialists.

Ulysses and Us: The Art of Everyday Living
by Declan KiberdIn Ulysses and Us, Declan Kiberd argues that James Joyce's Ulysses offers a humane vision of a more tolerant and decent life under the dreadful pressures of the modern world. As much a guide to contemporary life as it is virtuoso work of literary criticism, Ulysses and Us offers revolutionary insights to the scholar and the first-time reader alike.Leopold Bloom, the half-Jewish Irishman who is the hero of James Joyce's Ulysses, teaches the young Stephen Dedalus (modelled on Joyce himself) how he can grow and mature as an artist and an adult human being. Bloom has learned to live with contradictions, with anxiety and sexual jealousy, and with the rudeness and racism of the people he encounters in the city streets, and in his apparently banal way sees deeper than any of them. He embodies an intensely ordinary kind of wisdom, Kiberd argues, and in this way offers us a model for living well, in the tradition of the literature upon which Joyce drew in writing Ulysses, such as Homer, Dante and the Bible. 'Declan Kiberd's brilliantly informed and highly entertaining advocacy liberates Joyce's greatest book from the dungeon of unreadable masterpieces.' Joseph O'Connor
Ulysses, Capitalism, and Colonialism: Reading Joyce After the Cold War (Contributions to the Study of World Literature)
by M. Keith BookerThe work of James Joyce, especially Ulysses, can be fully understood only when the colonial and postcolonial context of Joyce's Ireland is taken into account. Reading Joyce as a postcolonial writer produces valuable new insights into his work, though comparisons of Joyce's work with that of African and Caribbean postcolonial writers provides reminders that Joyce, regardless of his postcolonial status, remains a fundamentally European writer whose perspective differs substantially from that of most other postcolonial writers. In addition to exploring Joyce's writings in light of recent developments in postcolonial theory, Booker employs a Marxist critical approach to assess the political implications of Joyce's work and examines the influence of Cold War anticommunism on previous readings of Joyce in the West.Focusing on Karl Radek's criticisms of Joyce, the volume begins with a detailed discussion of the rejection of Joyce's writings by many leftist critics. It then examines those aspects of Ulysses that can be taken as a diagnosis and criticism of the social ills brought to Ireland by British capitalism. The following chapters explore Joyce's language as part of his critique of capitalism, the role of history in his works, the failure of Joyce to represent the lower classes of colonial Dublin, and the political implications of Joyce's writings.
The Ulysses Delusion: Rethinking Standards of Literary Merit (American Literature Readings in the 21st Century)
by Cecilia Konchar FarrPopular fiction follows literature professors wherever they go. At coffee shops or out for drinks, after faculty meetings or classes, even at family reunions – they are persistently pressed to talk about bestselling novels. Questions immediately follow: What do I mean when I say a book is "good"? Why do contemporary novels like these, conversations like these, matter to professors of literature? Shouldn't they be spending their time re-reading The Great Gatsby? The Ulysses Delusion confronts these questions and answers their call for more engaged conversations about books. Through topics like the Oprah's Book Club, Harry Potter, and Chick Lit, Cecilia Konchar Farr explores the lively, democratic, and gendered history of novels in the US as a context for understanding how avid readers and literary professionals have come to assess them so differently.

Umberto Eco-Handbuch: Leben – Werk – Wirkung
Umberto Eco war einer der wichtigsten Intellektuellen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit Der Name der Rose wurde er einem Weltpublikum bekannt, danach blieb er mit sechs weiteren Romanen sowie zahllosen Essays, Interviews und Zeitschriftenkolumnen präsent. Einen Namen gemacht hatte sich Eco jedoch bereits mit theoretischen Texten, u.a. seinem kontrovers diskutierten Offenen Kunstwerk sowie seinen Schriften zur Semiotik. Auch als Schriftsteller blieb Eco zeitlebens Literatur- und Kulturtheoretiker; bei kaum einem weiteren Autor des 20. Jahrhunderts ist das theoretische und literarische Schaffen ähnlich stark verknüpft. Das Umberto Eco-Handbuch bietet einen Wegweiser in alle Aspekte von Ecos vielfältigem Wirken. Dazu bietet es einerseits Übersichtskapitel zu allen theoretischen und literarischen Schriften Ecos, andererseits systematische Beiträge, die vielfältige Querbezüge aufzeigen, etwa zwischen Geschichte und Gegenwart, Semiotik und Kriminalroman, historischem Erzählen und Postmoderne.

Umfragen als Anker?: Studien zur Wirkung rezipierter Umfrageergebnisse
by Steven SchuhMit Prognosen ist das so eine Sache. Als Doktorand gelangt man zu dieser Einsicht spätestens, wenn der erste anvisierte Abgabetermin für die selbstverständlich noch unvollendete Dissertation verstrichen ist und die eigentlich gut gemeinten Nachf- gen von Freunden und Bekannten diese Fehleinschätzung schmerzvoll spürbar machen. Erst viel später wagt man sich zu fragen, ob es vielleicht nur die letztlich allzu optimistische Prognose gewesen sein könnte, die den Glauben an einen erfo- reichen Abschluss lange Zeit getragen hat und ob es ohne sie vielleicht nie zu d- sem Vorwort gekommen wäre? Über die Fähigkeit von Prognosen, Ergebnisse in ihre Richtung zu beeinfl- sen, lässt sich jedenfalls trefflich spekulieren. Das vorliegende Werk zur Wirkung veröffentlichter Umfrageergebnisse kann dies nicht nur theoretisch dokumentieren, es lädt mit seinen empirischen Einsichten auch dazu ein. Zugleich macht diese Arbeit deutlich, dass wohl kein Politiker ausschließlich dank positiver Prognosen Wahlen gewinnen und keine Dissertation nur wegen ihnen Vollendung finden dü- te. Erfolg hat immer viele Väter. Deshalb möchte ich mich bei all den Menschen bedanken, ohne die es nicht möglich gewesen wäre, meine Dissertation im März 2008 dem Fachbereich 02 – Sozialwissenschaften, Medien und Sport der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz vorzulegen und meine Promotion abzuschließen. Mein erster Dank geht an Professor Dr. Christina Holtz-Bacha, die mich nach Abschluss meines Studiums ermuntert hat zu promovieren und mir jederzeit mit gutem Rat zur Seite stand. Bedanken möchte ich mich auch bei Professor Dr. Axel Mattenklott für sein Engagement als Zweitgutachter.
Umrisse einer Dritten Kultur im interdisziplinären Zusammenspiel zwischen Literatur und Naturwissenschaft: Jahrbuch des Instituts für moderne Fremdsprachen an der Naturwissenschaftlich-Technischen Universität Norwegens (NTNU) in Trondheim (ELECTRISCHER PROMETHEUS. Umrisse einer Dritten Kultur im interdisziplinären Zusammenspiel zwischen Literatur und Naturwissenschaft)
by Bernd NeumannIn diesem Open-Access-band geht es um die Thematisierung des Verhältnisses zwischen den gegenwärtig getrennten „Zwei Kulturen“ und Umrisse ihrer neuen Synthese in Richtung auf eine zeitgenössische, auf Interdisziplinarität gegründeten „Dritten Kultur“ als Zusammenschau von Literaturwissenschaft, Philosophie und Naturwissenschaft. Dabei wird Kafka als ein Autor ernst genommen, dessen Nähe zu Autoren der Romantik (Kleist etwa als einer seiner „Blutsbrüder“) ihn dazu bestimmte, deren zentrales Interesse an der Elektrizität (in Form des Mesmerismus beispielsweise) zu teilen. Als eine Weiterführung hinein in die neueste Moderne gelangt Kafkas besondere Begegnung mit Einstein und dessen Relativitätstheorie zur Darstellung, deren Einwirkung insbesondere auf Kafkas Spätwerk dargelegt wird. Als moderne Spielform solch „electrisch“- transdisziplinär orientierten literarischen Schreibens wird diesen Ausführungen Botho Strauß` gegenwärtiges Novellenwerk zur Seite gestellt.
