Abstract

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.

Abstract

1789 a doré le citoyen d’un nouveau corps juridique, politique et social. Dans la littérature postrévolutionnaire, écrire le corps, c’est scruter les marques inscrites dans les chairs par la loi, les signes tracés par la société, les cicatrices laissées par l’Histoire. Les études réunies dans ce volume interrogent ces nouveaux paradigmes de la représentation littéraire du corps dans quatre perspectives : en premier lieu est explorée la signification politique qu’il prend chez Sade, Balzac ou dans le théâtre révolutionnaire ; est développée ensuite une analyse du difficile transfert du corps du roi, dégradé chez Michelet, au corps du peuple chez Dumas ou à celui d’un nouveau Christ chez les saint-simoniens ; en troisième lieu, l’interrogation porte sur les modalités de l’incarnation de l’Histoire chez les personnages de Chateaubriand, de Balzac ou de Barbey d’Aurevilly ; enfin est étudiée la relation entre corps et création, dans la poésie de Baudelaire ou dans l’écriture autobiographique de George Sand. Du théâtre comme espace où l’acteur incarne les rôles sociaux au roman où la corporéité ancre le personnage dans l’Histoire, ce volume montre comment la littérature du XIXe siècle a recouru au corps pour figurer les rapports, souvent conflictuels, de l’individu à la société, au politique et à l’Histoire.

Abstract

The early modern period was an age of anatomical exploration and revelation, with new discoveries capturing the imagination not only of scientists but also of playwrights and poets. Approximate Bodies examines, in fascinating detail, the changing representation of the body in early modern drama and in the period's anatomical and gynaecological treatises.Maurizio Calbi focuses on the unstable representation of both masculinity and femininity in Renaissance texts such as The Duchess of Malfi, The Changeling and a variety of Shakespeare plays. Drawing on theor

Abstract

This book explores one of the crucial themes in postwar Japanese fiction. Through an examination of the work of a number of prominent twentieth century Japanese writers, the book analyses the meaning of the body in postwar Japanese discourse, the gender constructions of the imagery of the body and the implications for our understanding of individual and national identity. This book will be of interest to all students of modern Japanese literature.

Abstract

This book contends that the haptic sense - combining touch, kinaesthesis and proprioception - was first fully conceptualised and explored in the modernist period, in response to radical new bodily experiences brought about by scientific, technological and psychological change. How does the body's sense of its own movement shift when confronted with modernist film? How might travel by motorcar disorientate one sufficiently to bring about an existential crisis? If the body is made of divisible atoms, what work can it do to slow the fleeting moment of modernist life? The answers to all these questions and many more can be found in the work of four major writers of the modernist canon - James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence and Dorothy Richardson. They suggest that haptic experience is at the heart of existence in the early twentieth century, and each displays a fascination with the elusive sense of touch. Yet these writers go further, undertaking formal experiments which enable their own writing to provoke a haptic response in their readers.
