Omschrijving
Exploring how Ulysses imitates the human mind
at work, connecting close readings to psychological theories of Joyce's time In this book, John
Gordon uses historically oriented close readings to demonstrate that Ulysses
is a book that mimics the workings of the human mind. Gordon highlights James Joyce's
exceptional ability to capture and represent lived experiences, showing how Joyce's
writings display the ways specific minds interact with their environments. Ulysses
is portrayed here as having its own evolving consciousness. Sensational Joyce is the first book
on Joyce's psychology to engage deeply with theorists beyond Freud, Jung, or
Lacan. Gordon explains how Joyce used other psychological theories, like
William James's ideas on stimulus and response, Gestalt psychology, John
Watson's behaviorism, and trauma research. The book also includes discussions
of phenomena considered experimental at the time, such as telepathy,
telekinesis, precognition, and spiritualism. Gordon examines the characters of
sensitive intellectual Stephen Dedalus and advertising professional Leopold Bloom,
following the book's centers of consciousness into the visionary, hallucinatory,
and prophetic final chapters. Gordon highlights
how Joyce's unique writing style transforms sensations and stimuli into
thoughts and responses. As Ulysses progresses, the sensational--meaning
sensory data--becomes sensationalistic. In tracing the contemporary theories of
psychology evidenced in the novel, Sensational Joyce presents many new
and original interpretations that can be applied to other works by Joyce,
especially Finnegans Wake. A volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sam Slote
