James Joyce and the Problem of Psychoanalysis (Hardcover, New)

From its very beginning, psychoanalysis sought to incorporate the
aesthetic into its domain. Despite Joyce's deliberate attempt in
his writing to resist this powerful hermeneutic, his work has been
confronted by a long tradition of psychoanalytic readings. Luke
Thurston argues that this very antagonism holds the key to how
psychoanalytic thinking can still open up new avenues in Joycean
criticism and literary theory. In particular, Thurston shows that
Jacques Lacan's response to Joyce goes beyond the 'application' of
theory: rather than diagnosing Joyce's writing or claiming to have
deciphered its riddles, Lacan seeks to understand how it can entail
an unreadable signature, a unique act of social transgression that
defies translation into discourse. Thurston imaginatively builds on
Lacan's work to illuminate Joyce's place in a wide-ranging literary
genealogy that includes Shakespeare, Hogg, Stevenson and Wilde.
This study should be essential reading for all students of Joyce,
literary theory and psychoanalysis.
