The James Joyce Society on Thursday, 20 February 2020, 6:00 pm presents "I heard the hallstand rocking ...I could interpret these signs": The Alcoholic Father and the Hyper-Acute Child in Dubliners and Portrait by Garry Leonard Professor of Literature and Film University of Toronto and Group Discussion of an Excerpt from Giacomo Joyce (text below) facilitated by Stephen J. Pantani Treasurer, The James Joyce Society Jan Pieters Sweelink. The quaint name of the old Dutch musician makes all beauty seem quaint and far. I hear his variations for the clavichord on an old air: Youth has an end. In the vague mist of old sounds a faint point of light appears: the speech of the soul is about to be heard. Youth has an end: the end is here. It will never be. You know that well. What then? Write it, damn you, write it! What else are you good for? “Why?” “Because otherwise I could not see you.” Sliding-space-ages-foliage of stars-and waning heaven-stillness-and stillness deeper-stillness of annihilation-and her voice. Non hunc sed Barabbam! Unreadiness. A bare apartment. Torbid daylight. A long black piano: coffin of music. Poised on its edge a woman’s hat, red-flowered, and umbrella, furled. Her arms: a casque, gules, and blunt spear on a field, sable. Envoy: Love me, love my umbrella. A. Nicholas Fargnoli, President Jonathan Goldman, Vice President Heyward Ehrlich, Webmaster Stephen J.

The James Joyce Society Invites you to its Thursday, 30 January 2020, Program James Ramey, Professor of Humanities, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Mexico City, Mexico on "James Joyce and the Posthumanist Reader" (see notes below) and Group Discussion of Finnegans Wake 57:4-29 Facilitated by Alison Armstrong School of Visual Arts Contr. ed. Irish Literary Supplement (see text below) at Glucksman Ireland House, New York University, 1 Washington Mews (5th Ave. bet Washington Square N and 8th St) The meeting will start promptly at 6:00 P.M. Notes: In What is Posthumanism?, Cary Wolfe advances a melding of Jacques Derrida's work with that of Niklas Luhmann. It is true that there have been numerous other proposed theorizations of how the enmeshing of human beings in their biological and technological milieus has given rise to a posthuman condition (e.g., Michel Serres, Katherine Hayles, Bernard Stiegler, and David Wills). However, Wolfe makes a valuable contribution in arguing that what Derrida and Luhmann most have in common is a "mutational, viral, or parasitic form of thinking," one that does not "turn away from the complexities and paradoxes of self-referential autopoiesis", but rather encounters there what Wolfe posits as "openness from closure," an idea which in turn emphasizes a notion of "boundary" found in both Luhmann and Derrida: "the very thing that separates us from the world connects us to the world, and self-referential, autopoietic closure, far from indicating a kind of solipsistic neo-Kantian idealism, actually is generative of openness to the environment". In other words, only through the parasite of paradoxical thought can we understand the permeability of all boundaries: what blinds us gives us sight, what separates us connects us, what closes us opens us. And yet, I wish to suggest that for all its theoretical rigor and originality, Wolfe's book does not offer much in the way of readerly methodology. Moreover, Wolfe omits reference to Luhmann's overt appropriation of Derrida's thought in developing his theory of observing systems in Art as a Social System: "second- and third-order observations explicate the world´s unobservability as an unmarked space carried along in all observations. Transparency is paid for with opacity, and this is what ensures the (autopoietic) continuation of the operations, the displacement, the différance (Derrida) of the difference between what is observed and what remains unobserved." This paper will experiment with Luhmann's observation theory to propose a critical methodology for what I will call 'close observing' of literary texts; close observing, over and against 'close reading', is possible only for what Luhmann describes as observers of the second and third orders. Professor Ramey has published articles on James Joyce in journals including James Joyce Quarterly, Comparative Literature, College Literature, and Comparative Literature Studies. He served as lead organizer of "Joyce Without Borders - 2019 James Joyce Symposium" in Mexico City, and is currently writing a book called Micro-Modernism: Parasitic Textuality and Posthumanism, a study of posthumanist intertextuality in works by James Joyce, Jorge Luis Borges, Vladimir Nabokov and Luis Buñuel.

Or will I drop into old Harris's and 03  have a chat with young Sinclair? Wellmannered fellow. Probably at his 04  lunch. Must get those old glasses of mine set right. Goerz lenses six guineas. 05  Germans making their way everywhere. Sell on easy terms to capture trade. 06  Undercutting.

Last year 09  travelling to Ennis had to pick up that farmer's daughter's bag and hand it 10  to her at Limerick junction. Unclaimed money too. There's a little watch up 11  there on the roof of the bank to test those glasses by. 12   His lids came down on the lower rims of his irides. Can't see it. If you 13  imagine it's there you can almost see it. Can't see it. 14   He faced about and, standing between the awnings, held out his right 15  hand at arm's length towards the sun. Wanted to try that often. Yes: 16  completely. The tip of his little finger blotted out the sun's disk. Must be the 17  focus where the rays cross. If I had black glasses. Interesting. There was a 18  lot of talk about those sunspots when we were in Lombard street west. 19  Looking up from the back garden. Terrific explosions they are. There will 20  be a total eclipse this year: autumn some time. 21   Now that I come to think of it that ball falls at Greenwich time. It's 22  the clock is worked by an electric wire from Dunsink. Must go out there 23  some first Saturday of the month. If I could get an introduction to professor 24  Joly or learn up something about his family. That would do to: man always 25  feels complimented. Flattery where least expected. Nobleman proud to be 26  descended from some king's mistress. His foremother. Lay it on with a 27  trowel. Cap in hand goes through the land. Not go in and blurt out what 28  you know you're not to: what's parallax? Show this gentleman the door. 29    Ah. 30    His hand fell to his side again. 31   Never know anything about it. Waste of time. Gasballs spinning 32  about, crossing each other, passing. Same old dingdong always. Gas: then 33  solid: then world: then cold: then dead shell drifting around, frozen rock, 35  like that pineapple rock. The moon. Must be a new moon out, she said.

Enduring Pleasures, Minor Pains: The Joys and the Few Infelicities of Ulysses by Robert J. Seidman Freelance Write and Group Discussion facilitated by Patrick Reilly Adjunct Assistant Professor of English Baruch College On the anniversary of Joyce's birthday, February 2nd, 1882, it might be a good time to revisit the mysterious birth of his most famous female character, Molly Bloom--Marion Tweedy, before she is married. Conceived on December 8th, 1869, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, Marion is born nine months later on September 8th, 1870, in Gibraltar to two of the most mysterious parents in fiction. Is she, like her immortal namesake, also conceived immaculately? Neither she nor we know anything substantial about her mother:"my mother whoever she was" was possibly one Lunita Laredo (18.846-47, 848). Her father, Major Brian Cooper Tweedy, is not prepared to say. He himself is a suspect character -- possibly a Sergeant Major, maybe a Major, or a Drum Major in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers (albeit the regiment did not exist before 1881, by when Marion/Molly is 11). Does the novel harbor Lunita clues, or is this simply one of the many "enigmas and puzzles that will keep the professors busy for centuries"? A.

The James Joyce Society Invites you to hear The Trials of Ulysses Attorney and literary scholar Joseph Hassett (W.B. Yeats & the Muses) argues that Attorney-Patron John Quinn did a poor job of defending the Little Review’s publication in 1920 of an excerpt from Joyce’s novel and that he might have been successful if he had used the approach suggested by the portrait painter John Butler Yeats, the poet’s father and famous intellectual of his time.
