In Joyce, Derrida, Lacan and the Trauma of History, Christine van
Boheemen-Saaf examines the relationship between Joyce's postmodern
textuality and the traumatic history of colonialism in Ireland.
Joyce's influence on Lacanian psychoanalysis and Derrida's
philosophy, Van Boheemen-Saaf suggests, ought to be viewed from a
postcolonial perspective. She situates Joyce's writing as a
practice of indirect 'witnessing' to a history that remains
unspeakable. The loss of a natural relationship to language in
Joyce calls for a new ethical dimension in the process of reading.
The practice of reading becomes an act of empathy to what the text
cannot express in words. In this way, she argues, Joyce's work
functions as a material location for the inner voice of Irish
cultural memory. This book engages with a wide range of
contemporary critical theory and brings Joyce's work into dialogue
with thinkers such as Zizek, Adorno, Lyotard, as well as feminism
and postcolonial theory.
