How does recent scholarship on ethnicity and race speak to the
Jewish dimension of James Joyce's writing? What light has Joyce
himself already cast on the complex question of their relationship?
This book poses these questions in terms of models of the other
drawn from psychoanalytic and cultural studies and from Jewish
cultural studies, arguing that in Joyce the emblematic figure of
otherness is "the Jew."
The work of Emmanuel Levinas, Sander Gilman, Gillian Rose, Homi
Bhabha, among others, is brought to bear on the literature, by Jews
and non-Jews alike, that has forged the representation of Jews and
Judaism in this century. Joyce was familiar with this literature,
like that of Theodor Herzl. Joyce sholarship has largely neglected
even these sources, however, including Max Nordau, who contributed
significantly to the philosophy of Zionism, and the literature on
the "psychobiology" of race--so prominent in the fin de siecle--all
of which circulates around and through Joyce's depictions of Jews
and Jewishness.
Several Joyce scholars have shown the significance of the concept
of the other for Joyce's work and, more recently, have employed a
variety of approaches from within contemporary deliberations of the
ideology of race, gender, and nationality to illuminate its impact.
The author combines these approaches to demonstrate how any modern
characterization of otherness must be informed by historical
representations of "the Jew" and, consequently, by the history of
anti-Semitism. She does so through a thematics and poetics of
Jewishness that together form a discourse and method for Joyce's
novel.
