What if our notions of the nation as a site of belonging, the home
as a safe place, or the mother tongue as a means to fluent
comprehension did not apply? What if fluency were a hindrance,
whilst our differences and contradictions held the keys to radical
new ways of knowing? Taking inspiration from the practice of
language learning and translation, this book explores the
extraordinary creative possibilities, politics, and ethics of
adopting a multilingual approach to reading. Its case study, James
Joyce's Finnegans Wake (1939), is a text in equal measures
exhilarating and exasperating: an unhinged portrait of European
modernist debates on transculturalism and globalisation, here
considered on the backdrop of current discourses on migration,
race, gender, and neurodiversity. This book offers a fresh
perspective on the illuminating, if perplexing, work of a beloved
European modernist, whilst posing questions far beyond Joyce: on
negotiating difference in an increasingly globalised world; on
braving the difficulty of relating across languages and cultures;
and ultimately on imagining possible futures where multilingual
literature can empower us to read, relate, and conceptualise
differently.
