Abstract

Mode d’expression collectif qui renvoie aux notions de communauté, d’identité et de territoire, la langue entretient avec la voix, en tant que cette dernière est d’abord sens, des rapports complexes et bien souvent ambigus. S’y mêlent, s’y entrecroisent et s’y superposent l’opposition entre le collectif et le singulier, entre l’original et le commun, les hiérarchies entre systèmes (comme la distinction saussurienne entre parole langue et langage) et modes, notamment de représentation du discours ; ou encore les relations entre corps et code. Le présent ouvrage a pour ambition de déméler, au sein de la littérature irlandaise moderne, ces notions entrecroisées de voix et de langue(s), et d’en cerner les modulations, les errances ou les silences. Des œuvres romanesques (James Joyce, Seamus Deane, Dermot Bolger, Bernard McLaverty) aussi bien que des textes dramatiques (Samuel Beckett, Denis Johnston) ou poétiques (Derek Mahon, Eavan Boland) sont ici sondés, ou mieux « écoutés », dans des perspéctives diverses (linguistique, sémiotique, historique...) qui toutes se mettent au service d’une réflexion commune sur cet indéscriptible du langage qu’est la voix dans son rapport à la langue et aux langues.

Abstract

"In the first book-length study of a "Marxist" Joyce, Trevor Williams takes as his starting point Joyce's assertion that Dublin was a "paralysed city." He identifies those power structures within its civil society and private relationships - so clearly drawn by Joyce in Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Ulysses - that lie at the heart of that paralysis. More importantly, however, Williams shows how in Joyce the paralysis is always provisional, and explores the ways in which Joyce's characters do indeed demonstrate means of resistance to the British state, to class distinctions, to clerical hegemony, and to power imbalances in familial and sexual relationships."--BOOK JACKET. "In the process, Williams reviews the early criticism leveled against Joyce by the left, in particular by the First Congress of Soviet Writers in 1934. He also engages contemporary Joyce critics, including Fredric Jameson, Franco Moretti, and Terry Eagleton, many of whom have attempted to redress the leftist attacks on Joyce and to demonstrate his relevance to a postcolonial critical approach."--BOOK JACKET. "Throughout, Williams asserts the constant need to make literature relevant. In part, this book was inspired by his students, who in 1991, at the outset of the Gulf War, demanded to know how they could justify reading Joyce when, simultaneously, people were being killed. Williams's answer, formulated in the first chapter, is to argue that reading Joyce, who was keenly aware of the impact of unequal power relations, is not only justifiable but relevant, legitimate, and necessary."--BOOK JACKET. "Unusually free of the dogmatism and economism so frequently associated with Marxist literary criticism, Williams's reading of Joyce draws from the "humanist" tradition of Marxism and from contemporary feminist thinking in what is ultimately a blend of provocative theory and close textual reading. It will be of interest to Joyceans, literary theorists, and anyone who still believes that to read Joyce is not only justifiable but relevant, legitimate, and necessary."--Jacket.

Abstract

Au-delà d’un imaginaire légendaire connu et d’une tradition gothique qui, de Melmoth à Dracula, a durablement marqué le fantastique européen, la littérature irlandaise contemporaine a inventé de nouvelles formes d’expression de l’inquiétude et du spectral. Qu’il s’agisse des résurgences d’une histoire longtemps occultée ou d’une appréhension subtile des seuils du réel, les écrivains irlandais du XXe siècle ont cartographié des territoires de l’étrange toujours troublants, quelquefois drôles, souvent implacables. De Elisabeth Bowen à Eavan Boland, de Beckett à Banville en passant par William Trevor, John McGahern ou Ciaran Carson, ils ont su donner corps à l’effroi lucide d’une culture où poétique et politique se sont toujours mêlés.

Abstract

In the last fifty years Irish poets have produced some of the most exciting poetry in contemporary literature, writing about love and sexuality, violence and history, country and city. This book, first published in 2003, provides an introduction to major figures such as Seamus Heaney, and also introduces the reader to significant precursors like Louis MacNeice or Patrick Kavanagh, and vital contemporaries and successors: among others, Thomas Kinsella, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Paul Muldoon. Readers will find discussions of Irish poetry from the traditional to the modernist, written in Irish as well as English, from both North and South. This Companion provides cultural and historical background to contemporary Irish poetry in the contexts of modern Ireland but also in the broad currents of modern world literature. It includes a chronology and guide to further reading and will prove invaluable to students and teachers alike.
