In this book-one of the first ecocritical explorations of Irish literature-Alison Lacivita defies the popular view of James Joyce as a thoroughly urban writer by bringing to light his consistent ...engagement with nature. Using genetic criticism to investigate Joyce's source texts, notebooks, and proofs, Lacivita shows how Joyce developed ecological themes in Finnegans Wake over successive drafts.
Making apparent a love of growing things and a lively connection with the natural world across his texts, Lacivita's approach reveals Joyce's keen attention to the Irish landscape, meteorology, urban planning, Dublin's ecology, the exploitation of nature, and fertility and reproduction. Alison Lacivita unearths a vital quality of Joyce's work that has largely gone undetected, decisively aligning ecocriticism with both modernism and Irish studies.

For this lecture, I was inspired by Dr. Bryan Richmond’s Southeastern Surgical Congress presidential address, “Finding your own unique place in the house of surgery.” I struggled to find my own place ...in cancer surgery. The choices available to me and those who came before me enabled the wonderful career I am blessed to enjoy. What I share as part of my own story. My words do not represent those of my institutions or any organizations of which I am privileged to belong.
This innovative analysis shows how James Joyce uses the language of prayer to grapple with profoundly human ideas inFinnegans Wake-the dreamlike masterpiece that critics have called his "book of the ...night." Colleen Jaurretche moves beyond what scholars know about how Joyce composed this work to suggestwhy he wrote and arranged it as he did. Jaurretche provides a sequential reading of the four chapters and corresponding themes of theWake from the perspective of prayer. She examines image, manifested by the letters of the alphabet and the Book of Kells; magic, which Joyce equates with the workings of language; dreams, which he relates to poetry; and speech, glorified in theWake for its potential to express emotions and ecstasy. Jaurretche bases her study on important thinkers from antiquity to the present, including Origen of Alexandria, Giambattista Vico, and Giordano Bruno. She demonstrates how these philosophers influenced Joyce's view that prayer can imbue language with power. This book is an illuminating and much-needed interpretation of a work that abounds with echoes and cadences of sacred language. Jaurretche's insights will guide readers' understanding of the style and structure ofFinnegans Wake. A volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G. Knowles

يتناول هذا البحث ظاهرة التوازي في (ديباجة) مطولة الشاعر الكردي (مولوي) بعنوان (الفضيلة)، والتي تبلغ أبياتها ألفًا وثلاث مائة واثنين وثلاثين بيتًا، وهي مليئة بالفنون البلاغية والأسلوبية، وتستحق أكثر ...من دراسة مطولة، لكنها لم تدرس-حسب علم الباحث-من الناحية الأدبية، فدرست جميع أنواع التوازي فيها، وهي تأبى أن تعطي كل ما لديها من كنوز أدبية لدراسة واحدة، فدرست ما سمحت به المساحة المتاحة لبحث أكاديمي، متناولاً التوازي الصوتي والصرفي المعجمي والتركيبي والدلالي، حائرًا بين الأمثلة الكثيرة التي ترفض الانصياع لذوق الباحث حين يوازن بينها باحثًا عن الأجمل والأرقى، فكل مثال أجمل من سابقيه وأرقى مما يليه، وقد يجد الباحث في بيت واحد جميع أنواع التوازي، وهذه حقيقة يدركها كل باحث مُتمعن في القصيدة، لذا حاول الباحث عصرها بكل ما أوتي من خبرة ودراية، معتمدًا على أهم المراجع المكتوبة المتوفرة في هذا الميدان، مقسمًا البحث على أربعة مباحث بحسب أنواع التوازي معتمدًا على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي في سبر أغوار الأمثلة، مستخرجًا ما يسمح به الذوق والقريحة دررًا بلاغية وأسلوبية دالة على المعاني العميقة في الدين والعقيدة وعلم الكلام والفلسفة، مبتدئًا.
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.

Charles Manuel Sweet Daddy Grace founded the United House of Prayer for All People in Wareham, Massachusetts, in 1919. This charismatic church has been regarded as one of the most extreme Pentecostal ...sects in the country. In addition to attention-getting maneuvers such as wearing purple suits with glitzy jewelry, purchasing high profile real estate, and conducting baptisms in city streets with a fire hose, the flamboyant Grace reputedly accepted massive donations from his poverty-stricken followers and used the money to live lavishly. It was assumed by many that Grace was the charismatic glue that held his church together, and that once he was gone the institution would disintegrate. Instead, following his 1960 death there was a period of confusion, restructuring, and streamlining. Today the House of Prayer remains an active church with a national membership in the tens of thousands.Daddy Grace: A Celebrity Preacher and His House of Prayer seriously examines the religious nature of the House of Prayer, the dimensions of Grace's leadership strategies, and the connections between his often ostentatious acts and the intentional infrastructure of the House of Prayer. Furthermore, woven through the text are analyses of the race, class, and gender issues manifest in the House of Prayer structure under Grace's aegis.Marie W. Dallam here offers both a religious history of the House of Prayer as an institution and an intellectual history of its colorful and enigmatic leader.
