Abstract

This essay takes up Joyce's subversion of the concept of a unified Irish identity. It focuses on the "Cyclops" episode of Ulysses to develop the idea that in Joyce's novel Irishness has become an empty concept. Instead, isolation and hostility emerge as the dominant cultural features. Examples concentrate on the episode's unnamed narrator, but they also touch on the behavior of all of the others in Barney Kiernan's pub to show the pervasiveness of cultural alienation.

独眼巨人 "事件与支离破碎的爱尔兰身份认同

这篇文章探讨了乔伊斯对爱尔兰统一身份概念的颠覆。文章以《尤利西斯》中的 "独眼巨人 "情节为重点，阐述了这样一个观点：在乔伊斯的小说中，爱尔兰性已经成为一个空洞的概念。取而代之的是，孤立和敌意成为主要的文化特征。例子集中在这一情节的无名叙述者身上，但也涉及到巴尼-基尔南的酒吧里所有其他人的行为，以显示文化疏离的普遍性。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1963 at the University of Tulsa by Thomas F. Staley, the James Joyce Quarterly has been the flagship journal of international Joyce studies ever since. In each issue, the JJQ brings together a wide array of critical and theoretical work focusing on the life, writing, and reception of James Joyce. We encourage submissions of all types, welcoming archival, historical, biographical, and critical research. Each issue of the JJQ provides a selection of peer-reviewed essays representing the very best in contemporary Joyce scholarship. In addition, the journal publishes notes, reviews, letters, a comprehensive checklist of recent Joyce-related publications, and the editor"s "Raising the Wind" comments.
