“…24 Joyce's almost immediate invocation of the issue of his son's status is a classic reflex, and accords with all that was noted above regarding the absolute centrality of paternity in nineteenth-century fiction. Joyce here was a victim of the legal truism -noted by Freud in a short essay entitled 'Family Romances' (published coincidentally in 1909) that pater semper incertus est (the identity of a child's father is always in question) while the mother is certissima.…”

‘Trust Not Appearances’: Political and Personal Betrayal in James Joyce's Ulysses

Literary historians such as Tony Tanner have speculated that adultery, with its assault upon the patriarchal institution of marriage and its potential for family drama, is the principal theme of the bourgeois novel that evolves in Europe during the nineteenth century. Joyce's famous work was heir to the great nineteenth-century novel of adultery – a tradition which includes the likes of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (1873–77), Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1857), and Zola's Thérèse Raquin (1867). An act of marital betrayal lies at the heart of the story, an act which Joyce explores in all its emotional and moral complexity. Other critics (such as David Lloyd) have argued that his condition as an Irish writer obliged Joyce to develop an ‘adulterated’ form of writing – one which refused the precepts of patriarchal authorship, and in so doing contributed significantly to the emergence of the cultural sensibility known as Modernism. This article addresses Joyce's imagination of personal and political betrayal as explored in both the thematic and formal aspects of Ulysses.

“…He plunged deeper than ever before into the black pool of Dublin. 19 The defining events of that trip are well-known. Joyce met Oliver St. John Gogarty, but refused to be drawn into nostalgic bonhomie, or to pretend that the old offences (whatever they were) had been forgiven or forgotten.…”

“…Chronological progress of James Joyces engineering work on writing FW, which he described as boring a mountain from two sides[20]. This chart may be also taken as a visualisation of Joyces dream about a Turk picking threads from heaps on his left and right sides, and weaving a fabric in the colours of the rainbow, which the writer interpreted as a symbolic picture of Books I and III of FW.…”

Quantifying origin and character of long-range correlations in narrative texts

In natural language using short sentences is considered efficient for communi- long-range correlations in texts and appearance of multifractality indicates that they carry even a nonlinear component. A distinct role of the full stops in inducing the long-range correlations in texts is evidenced by the fact that the above quantitative characteristics on the long-range correlations manifest themselves in variation of the full stops recurrence times along texts, thus in SLV, but to a much lesser degree in the recurrence times of the most frequent words. In this latter case the nonlinear correlations, thus multifractality, disappear even completely for all the texts considered. Treated as one extra word, the full stops at the same time appear to obey the Zipfian rank-frequency distribution, however.

“…Were it not for radical American expatriate Sylvia Beach's willingness to start her own publishing imprint, risk imprisonment for obscenity and pay for the typesetting and printing of the now-storied first edition of Ulysses, it might not have come out as a book at all. And, even so, most copies of that first edition were intercepted and burned as pornography on the pier at Folkestone in Kent, England [7] [8].…”

A Comparison in Pursuit of “The Masterworks of Information Architecture”: Learning from James Joyce's Ulysses and Richard Saul Wurman's The City, Form and Intent

EDITOR'S SUMMARYIn a search for classic works on information architecture, Joyce's Ulysses and Richard Saul Wurman's The City, Form and Intent are each compared internally across different versions and considered in terms of content, context and user. Each author modified readers' experiences through changes in the content and physical form of their works. Wurman's 1963 work, a loose‐leaf collection reflecting architecture through clay models of cities, was redone in 1974 with the same content but different physical presentation. Joyce's Ulysses was marked by variations across versions, with omissions, additions and typographic errors carried inconsistently through editions, leaving the author's intended meaning ambiguous. The context of Wurman's work was the very early stage in the author's career. The context of production of Ulysses involved composition, editing, publishing, correction and republishing across multiple channels, making consideration of the totality of the editions key to understanding the information architecture of the work. Users of Wurman's original print work exalted it, while users of a 2014 spin‐off web project see it from a different perspective. Similarly, the user experience for Ulysses varies widely, depending largely on which edition is read. The analysis and internal comparison of the two works highlight the importance of both content knowledge and technical skill throughout any information architecture project. Whether they will serve as masterworks for the field remains an open question.
