Essa obra impõe uma leitura diferenciada, que se afaste do que normalmente julgamos ser a leitura e a interpretação de textos emgeral e também literários. A psicanálise, trazida principalmente por textos de Freud e Lacan, mostrou-se uma via ideal de abordagem dessa obra que, ao mesmo tempo, se assemelha e se diferencia de formações do inconsciente como o chiste e o sonho, da poesia - como a psicanálise a concebe - e das produções de sujeitos psicóticos. O primeiro capítulo faz um contraponto entre Finnegans Wake e essas formações, que evidenciamo inconsciente em ação na linguagem. o segundo capítulo vem ligar essa perspectiva da psicanálise à tradução, por meio da obra Letra a Letra, de Jean Allouch, onde o autor propõe, pela íopologia do nó borromeano, uma interdependência entre a tradução e duas outras operações, a transcrição e a transliteração. O terceiro capítulo trata de analisar a escrita de Joyce tendo como contraponto as três operações propostas por Allouch. Analisam-se também traduções de alguns excertos de Finnegans Wake para o português, com a identificação de pontos de impossibilidade.Procura-se demonstrar que se, como propõe Lacan, o sujeito James Joyce apresenta uma constituição psíquica singular, que o diferencia tanto de um psicótico quanto de um neurótico, essa singularidade deve se inscrever em sua própria obra e, justamente nesses pontos de inscrição, a tradução se torna impossível. A tese busca demonstrar que, se a tradução se depara com certos limites, esses limites são determinados pela incidência das duas outras operações, transcrição e transliteração. Em contrapartida, a tradução não pode ser considerada isoladamente, sendo sempre apoiada pelas duas outras operações. Se a tradução tem sido tradicionalmente teorizada com base na oposição forma/sentido, a tese se propõe a considerá-Ia num triplo, composto de forma/sentido/nãosentido / Abstract: The key motivation of this thesis was a singular literary work - Finnegans Wake, by James Joyce - and the several issues it raises related to language and especially to translation. Joyce's work imposes a different reading process, apart ITomwhat we generally consider to be reading and interpretation of texts in general, as well as literary texts. Psychoanalysis, represented mainlyby texts by Freud and Lacan, was considered an ideal way of approaching this text which, at the same time, is similar to and different ITomunconscious formations such as dreams and verbaljokes, poetry - as conceived by psychoanalysis- and the productions of psychotic subjetcs. The first chapter presents a comparison between Finnegans Wake and these formations, which put in evidencethe unconscious at work in language. The second chapter links this psychoanalytical perspective to translation, based on the book Letra a Letra, by Jean Allouch, in which the author proposes, by means of the topology of the Borromean rings, that there is an interdependence between translation and two other operations, transcription and transliteration. The third chapter analyses Joyce's writing in view of the three operations proposed by Allouch. Translations of some excerpts of Finnegans Wake into Portuguese are also analysed, aiming at indicating some points of impossibility.This analysis tries do show that if, according to what Lacan proposes, James Joyce has a singularpsychological make-up, which is neither that of a psychotic nor that of a neurotic, then this singularity must be inscribed in his own work and that, exactly in these points of inscription, translation becomes impossible. The thesis tries to show that, if translation faces some limits, these limits are determined by the incidence of the two other operations, transcription and transliteration. On the other hand, translation can not be considered in isolation, being always supported by the two other operations. If translation has been generally theorized based on the opposition form/sense, this work proposes to consider it in a triple, constituted by form/sense/non-sense / Doutorado / Doutor em Linguística

A partir do desenvolvimento de um estudo intertextual em torno de três obras da literatura ocidental; a Odisséia de Homero, a Eneida de VirgíTio e o Ulisses de James Joyce, procuramos estabelecer uma tensão entre as poéticas antiga e moderna para refietirmos sobre a falta de verdades estáveis na modernidade, cuja ênfase é depositar cada vez maior peso no pensamento sobre o futuro considerando-o como dinâmico o superior ao passado, o que torna o vasto quadro das experiências passadas em si mesmo obsoleto, decretando dessa maneira o esquecimento da própria memória. Assim, visando uma reflexão significativa sobre o nosso tempo, construímos um jogo intertextual a demandar um núcleo: a desorientaçâo do homem moderno num mundo onde a tradição cultural tende a diluir-se. O resultado desse estudo permite que venhamos a estabelecer um diálogo complexo entre discursos poéticos e filosóficos, fazendo com que a Literatura e a Filosofia figurem como preocupações-chaves no pensamento contemporâneo, para somar forças contra o lado obscuro da modernidade. Nesse sentido, o Ulisses de Joyce, texto que se inscreve no modelo da poesia épica helênica, conquanto apresente uma sucessão vertiginosa de estilos e movimentos, servirá para exemplificar a insatisfação da palavra poética moderna empenhada em sobrepor-se às limitações da realidade / Abstract: The aim of this doctorate thesis is to show in what way literary imagination may help us to understand contemporary historic reality, which is marked by deep ruptures and transformations in the order of things and which emerges making tabula rasa of its cultural heritage. An intertextual study of three works of occidental literature, Homer's Odyssey, Virgile's Aeneid, and James Joyce's Ulysses seeks to establish a tension between the old and the new poetics in order to reflect about the lack of stable truths in modernism, which emphasis lies in putting an each time major weight on thinking about the future, considering it as being dynamic and superior to the past, which turns the wide range of past experiences obsolete in itself, declaring the disremembering of the proper memory. Thus, aiming toward a significant reflection on our time, we are building an intertextual game pointing to a core: the disorientation of modern man in a world where cultural tradition tends to dilute itself. The result of this study allows us to establish a complex dialogue among poetical and philosophical discourses, turning Literature and Philosophy into key issues of contemporary thinking in order to increase strength against the dark side of modernism. In this sense, Joyce's Ulysses, a text which follows the model of Hellenistic epical poetics, since it presents a vertiginous succession of diferent styles and movements, serves as an example of the dissatisfaction of the modern poetic word in attempting to superpose itself to the limits of reality / Doutorado / Filosofia e História da Educação / Doutor em Educação

There is evidence throughout the stories, and in Joyce's letters, to show that Dubliners should be considered as a single entity rather than as a series of unconnected short stories. This thesis examines Joyce's presentation of Dublin's middle class as a unifying principle underlying the whole work. Joyce believed that his city was in the grip of a life-denying "paralysis", and this thesis studies his attempt in Dubliners to relate that paralysis to those attitudes towards experience which his Dubliners hold in common. The stories in Dubliners are grouped to form a progression from childhood through adolescence to maturity and public life. This progression reveals the nature of Dublin's middle class and its effect on its individual member throughout his life. Childhood is a time of comparative freedom, and adolescence shows the individual's increasing conformity to the standards and values of his class. By the time he reaches maturity he is totally trapped in that paralysis reflected in the corruption of the public institutions. The nature of the middle class is revealed by four sub-themes which I designate: "religion," "adventure", "love", and "culture". For the purposes of this analysis the stories are grouped according to these thematic divisions, but Joyce's own order is always taken into consideration. Chapters 1 to IV each examines one of these sub-themes. In Chapter V, "The Dead", which embraces all of these aspects of experience, is treated separately. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

This dissertation considers Finnegans Wake as a deconstructive writing that exemplifies many of the textual operations that the French critical theorist Jacques Derrida attempts to define through his use of such "undecidable" terms and "non-concepts" as "difference," "dissemination," "trace," and "grafting." It argues that the Wake operates much like the "bifurcated writing" and "grouped textual field" that Derrida identifies as the only possible site for a deconstructive engagement of the terms and concepts of the Western metaphysical tradition, the tradition that Derrida terms phallogocentrism. The Wake has been an important text in the critical formulations of many contemporary theorists, and, as Derrida has recently acknowledged, his own theories of dissemination and deconstruction have been considerably affected by the Wake during the twenty-five to thirty years that he has been learning to read it. In drawing on Derrida's theories to analyze the Wake, this dissertation utilizes Derrida's terms to "re-mark" in Joyce's text, the disseminative textual operations that Derrida has marked as operative in the texts of the history of philosophy and in "so-called literary" texts like Finnegan’s Wake. In a certain sense, it renders unto Joyce's text that which has always already belonged to it. Drawing on Derrida's investigation of speech and writing, the dissertation considers the Wake's identification of itself as a fusion of speech and writing that requires a "speechreading" on the part of its readers. It supports this consideration by employing Umberto Eco's semiotic methodology to trace the network of metonymic lexemes by which the Wake identifies itself as a writing for the ear as well as the eye. Next it analyzes the Wake's tenth chapter as a chapter that exploits the formula 1+2+3+4=10 and produces a writing that operates as an arithmetical textual machine which problematizes the traditional concepts of presence and being and which also works towards dislodging the phallogocentric organization of writing with such hierarchically organized binary terms as male/female and central/marginal. In order to illustrate how the Wake disseminatively disrupts the binary terms by which phallogocentrism dominates thought, speech, and writing, the dissertation also considers how Joyce's text functions in an Intertextual relationship with some of the writings of Blake and Shakespeare. It does this by analyzing how the Wake dismantles some of the philosophical paradigms operating in the Blake and Shakespeare texts and takes important signifiers from those texts in order to set them to work as signifiers of signifieds that are radically different from those in the texts of Blake and Shakespeare. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The purpose of this thesis is to establish the fact that a single protagonist exists in James Joyce's Dubliners, that Joyce masks the enduring Dubliner-consciousness under the guises of various protagonists, and that this consciousness develops and matures within the many lives Joyce traces in his book. Indeed, many critics have examined Dubliners and have presented a great deal of evidence that points to structural unities in the book by exploring Joyce's use of allegory, allusion, foreshadowing, imagery, and symbol. But none has stated, nor does any appear ready to find, a single protagonist in Dubliners. Consequently, the ultimate conclusion of a successful study in this area would be that Joyce's first major work tends to be a novel rather than a short-story collection. My major point of departure is the Joyce letters, to establish unequivocally Joyce's intent and purpose in writing Dubliners. I furnish additional external evidence pertinent to the publication history of the book, as well as biographical elements that directly influenced the writing and publication of Dubliners, from Ellmann's biography of Joyce. But an important examination of this nature cannot ignore the internal evidence the book itself affords, Consequently, I deal with Joyce's arrangement of each Dubliners segment, categorize groups of these segments under the four phases of Dublin-life Joyce structured his work around, identify and trace the developing protagonist through the life-to-death pattern Joyce set for him, and delineate units of Dubliners as transitions between the stages of a Dubliner's life. This process demonstrates that Joyce set the Dubliner on a circular road of life and that the Dubliner follows such a circular path because of his circular and moribund mental process. This book, then, concerns structural unities in Dubliners. It offers at once a critical reading of Joyce's work and an attempt to uncover those traits of specific characters, as they comprise what can be termed a Dubliner-consciousness. Chapter I is an introduction and deals with the overall design and publication history of Dubliners; Chapter II offers a discussion of Childhood as the first major unit of the book; Chapter III, a consideration of Joyce's notions of Adolescence; Chapter IV, a study of Maturity; and Chapter V, a reading of the Dubliner's Public Life. Chapter VI is a consideration of ''The Dead" in particular as an epilogue to Joyce's volume and a reconsideration of Dubliners in general as, as it were, "A Book of the Dead." / Master of Arts

Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian lens; consequently, the interpretations have overlooked important considerations in light of developing feminist criticism. Through a selection of the stories, this thesis attempts to show how the text of Dubliners offers a cultural critique of the ways in which women were oppressed and constrained by the Irish Catholic ideology which established their roles within society. By the close of the collection, however, Joyce's creation of an inchoate image of the multi-dimensional, sexualized women of his mature works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, is embodied in the character of Gretta Conroy in "The Dead." Using Judith Butler's theory of performative acts of gender construction and Julia Kristeva's cultural dynamic of "the maternal" in the Stabat Mater, this criticism of the text lifts the female characters from the backgrounds of Dubliners and reveals the diseased culture of Dublin from another perspective. The female characters in the text act out expected cultural roles, often modeled after the Irish Catholic ideal of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Through the speech, silence, and physical acts of the female characters in Dubliners, "the female" in Irish-Catholic-Victorian culture is constructed--and reinforced--for Joyce's audience. This reading then furthers our understanding of the institutions, values, and practices which defined "womanhood" in nineteenth-century Dublin. / Graduation date: 1999
