Joyce, “Penelope” and the Body is a collection of twelve essays about “Penelope”, the famous final episode of Joyce’s Ulysses in relation to contemporary literary, cultural, philosophical and psychoanalytical theories of the body. As such it offers an unusually close look at that episode itself and it also becomes the very first book on Joyce that takes the idea of the body as its announced central theme. The contributors represented here come from England, Ireland, Europe and North America and they include some of the best established critics of Joyce alongside newcomers to academic publication. The essays include an encouraging diversity of approaches but they have in common a marked intellectual ambition, a surprisingly fresh and innovative approach and above all a devoted fascination for Joyce’s text. Taken together they offer much new potential for the reading of Joyce and Modernism and a range of possibilities for understanding the body and its representation through language and in culture that have resonances across the cultural sphere.

Elder examines how artists such as Brakhage, Artaud, Schneemann, Cohen and others have tried to recognize and to convey primordial forms of experiences. He argues that the attempt to convey these primordial modes of awareness demands a different conception of artistic meaning from any of those that currently dominate contemporary critical discussion. By reworking theories and speech in highly original ways, Elder formulates this new conception. His remarks on the gaps in contemporary critical practices will likely become the focus of much debate.

Argues that many major texts of 20th-century literature revolve around the concept of the mother figure. Examining novels of the Harlem Renaissance and Modernism and drawing upon the history of eugenics and anthropology, this study shows how mother figures represent symbols of race and ethnicity.

L’interprétation n’aurait-elle pas besoin des émotions ? Ce livre répond à cette question par une série d’études sur l’articulation entre l’expérience esthétique et l’activité herméneutique dans des œuvres des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Si le corps et l’interprétation ont longtemps été placés dans un rapport d’exclusion, une partie de la pensée philosophique et critique a récemment proposé de repenser une continuité entre la réception sensible et l’élaboration du sens. La période qui s’étend de la Renaissance aux Lumières nous aide à le faire, parce qu’avant l’autonomisation de la sphère esthétique, une œuvre ou une pratique esthétique ne sont jamais pensées hors de leurs effets sur leurs destinataires. Les études réunies dans ce volume invitent à repenser en profondeur l’expérience esthétique, qui se reformule plus exactement en relation esthétique : l’objet à interpréter n’est pas tant l’œuvre que la réaction, l’affection, du corps face à l’œuvre, ou la relation que le lecteur/spectateur établit avec l’œuvre. C’est en fonction de cette interprétation seconde que l’on pourra décider du sens – ou de l’un des sens possibles – de l’œuvre. On voit ainsi apparaître des manières différentes d’engager l’expérience sensible dans l’interprétation, ce qui nous importe à la fois comme pédagogues, dans nos pratiques de transmissions, comme chercheurs, pour comprendre comment opère l’élaboration du sens, mais aussi comme spectateurs, dans l’appréhension des œuvres d’art qui nous entourent.
