"Finnegans Wake" bildet den Gipfelpunkt der klassischen Moderne und hat die Literatur nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg so nachhaltig geprägt wie kaum ein anderes Einzelwerk. 17 Jahre lang arbeitete James Joyce daran, bevor es 1939 publiziert wurde. Über 80 Jahre später arbeitet Ulrich Blumenbach derzeit an einer kompletten Übersetzung ins Deutsche. In seinem Work-in-Progress-Journal bringt Blumenbach gemeinsam mit seinen Leser·innen die anarchische Assoziationsmaschinerie auf Touren, illustriert an sprechenden Beispielen, was es braucht, um die wilde Semiose des Werks ins Deutsche zu übertragen und beschreibt, welche Freiheiten er sich nehmen muss, um der deutschen Leserschaft eine Ahnung davon zu vermitteln, wie Sinnenergien Synergien generieren.
This chapter proposes the scar as a productive image to conceptualize the relation of speakers to the particular language otherwise called mother tongue, native or first language. Thinking of this relation in terms of a scar avoids the biopolitical implications of concepts derived from the context of family and birth that have, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century, come to present language as basis of a nation state. The image of the scar also avoids the biographical normalization and linguistic hierarchization implied in the term first language, as both are equally important biopolitical strategies of forming individuals and communities. Thinking of the mother tongue in terms of a scar emphasizes the intensity of lasting formation and identification entailed by acquiring this particular language, and it highlights the violence inherent to these processes that tends to be covered up by the naturalizing and family-related imagery of native or mother tongue as well as by the favour implied in the term first language.
[...] die Erkenntnis, daß "Ulysses", dieser Roman der Romane des 20. Jahrhunderts aus dem Jahre 1922, [...] auch ein jüdischer Roman ist, hat sich so noch nicht durchgesetzt. Wohl spielen Gedanken zum jüdischen Thema eine Rolle in der reichen, ja überreichen Sekundarliteratur, meist gar nicht, wenn ja, weniger als mehr. Das Thema bleibt am Rande, die Frage ward so nicht gestellt. Und doch ist er auch ein jüdischer Roman, und nicht nur von der Hauptfigur, von Leopold Bloom her.
A encenação autoral de Christian Kracht: o caso d' "Os Mortos" de Kracht, de Joyce e de Huston
(2019)
Partimos do pressuposto que os escritores, ao longo da história, sempre se utilizaram de estratégias encenatórias tanto em relação às suas obras como às suas figuras públicas, e de que o fazem não só para se estabelecer no campo literário, mas para o fazê-lo de um modo específico (JÜRGENSEN; KAYSER, 2011; BOURDIEU, 2000). Tendo em vista o último romance de Christian Kracht, "Die Toten" (2016), cujo título pode ser livremente traduzido como "Os Mortos", e as relações intertextuais que podem ser estabelecidas com o conto homônimo de James Joyce (1914) e sua adaptação para o cinema dirigida por John Huston (1987), temos por objetivo investigar de que modo essas relações contribuem para a encenação de Christian Kracht e para seu posicionamento no campo literário.
After studying the way in which various modern interpretations (political, psychoanalytic, traumatological) of Homer analyze the emotions aroused and/or conveyed by the song of the sirens, we will look at the "self-reflexive" interpretation that Maurice Blanchot ("Le Livre à venir", 1959) proposes of "Odyssey's" "Song XII". We will see that this interpretation can provide an excellent reading grid for modern rewritings of the episode, which overinvest one of the emotional aspects of the sirens' song - that is, the emotion of the language that goes out of itself in order to become music (in Joyce - "Ulysses", 1918-1920) or silence (in Kafka - "Das Schweigen der Sirenen", 1917).
'Dante and Ireland', or 'Dante and Irish Writers', is an extremely vast topic, and to cover it a book rather than an essay would be necessary. If the relationship between the poet and Ireland did not begin in the fourteenth century - when Dante himself may have had some knowledge of, and been inspired by, the "Vision of Adamnán", the "Vision of Tungdal", and the "Tractatus de purgatorio Sancti Patricii" - the story certainly had started by the eighteenth, when the Irish man of letters Henry Boyd was the first to produce a complete English translation of the "Comedy", published in 1802. Even if one restricts the field to twentieth-century literature alone, which is the aim in the present piece, the list of authors who are influenced by Dante includes Yeats, Joyce, Beckett, and Heaney - that is to say, four of the major writers not only of Ireland, but of Europe and the entire West. To these should then be added other Irish poets of the first magnitude, such as Louis MacNeice, Ciaran Carson, Eiléan Ní Cuilleanáin, and Thomas Kinsella. Therefore Piero Boitani treats this theme in a somewhat cursory manner, privileging the episodes he considers most relevant and the themes which he thinks form a coherent and intricate pattern of literary history, where every author is not only metamorphosing Dante but also rewriting his predecessor, or predecessors, who had rewritten Dante. Distinct from the English and American Dante of Pound and Eliot, an 'Irish Dante', whom Joyce was to call 'ersed irredent', slowly grows out of this pattern.
Rezension zu Gerald Gillespie: Proust, Mann, Joyce in the Modernist Context, Washington/D.C. (The Catholic University of America Press) 2003. 235 Seiten.
Gillespies Studien zur literarischen Moderne greifen teilweise auf frühere und an anderen Stellen publizierte Forschungsergebnisse und Thesen zurück. Sie gliedern sich in zwei Teile: Die Kapitel des ersten Teils erörtern schwerpunktmäßig modernespezifische Formen der Welterfahrung und -darstellung sowie zentrale Themen und charakteristische Strukturen moderner Literatur. Teil II ist vor allem den Oeuvres von Proust, Mann und Joyce gewidmet. Durch eine Fülle von Querbezügen zwischen den im einzelnen verfolgten Fragestellungen ergibt sich ein dichtes Gewebe von präzisen Beobachtungen, Beschreibungen, Argumenten und Thesen zur literarischen Moderne.
Rezension zu Finn Fordham: I Do I Undo I Redo. The textual Genesis of Modernist Selves in Hopkins, Yeats, Conrad, Forster, Joyce, and Woolf. Oxford (Oxford University Press) 2010. 281 S.
"Why are not excrements, children and lice works of art?" fragt sich James Joyce 1903 in seinem Pariser Notizbuch. Im elf Jahre später fertig gestellten 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' schreibt er die Frage Stephen Dedalus als Eintrag in dessen Notizbuch zu. Finn Fordhams Band 'I Do I Undo I Redo' verspricht, den Prozess der Verfertigung von Kunstwerken zu analysieren, der bei Joyce in Frage stehen bleibt.
