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. 517 3 $aJoyce, Derrida, Lacan & the Trauma of History 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature$zIreland 606 $aPsychological fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and history$zIreland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature)$zIreland 606 $aPsychic trauma in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aColonies in literature 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature 615 0$aPsychological fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 615 0$aPsychic trauma in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 676 $a823/.912 700 $aBoheemen$b Christine van$01466220 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779921803321 996 $aJoyce, Derrida, Lacan, and the trauma of history$93676588 997 $aUNINA
