Abstract

As the "codifier" of Le Spiritisme, the French writer, translator, and educator Allan Kardec (1804-1868) was a prominent figure among the promotors of the occult. The five books he wrote on the spirit world became best-sellers, both in France and abroad. Joyce, whose largely skeptical interest in the occult has been widely researched, owned one of Kardec's works and flagged passages in it. This article considers the varied ways in which Joyce may have used Kardec's teachings and vocabulary (for instance, "metempsychosis," "reincarnation," and "noctambules") in Ulysses. The cabman's shelter of "Eumaeus," in particular, functions as a spirit cabinet fit for a séance to be witnessed by Stephen and Bloom, "our two noctambules" (U 16.326).

"精神感动着他":乔伊斯《尤利西斯》中和周围的阿兰-卡德克精神
作为《精神世界》的 "编纂者",法国作家、翻译家和教育家阿朗-卡德克(Allan Kardec,1804-1868 年)是神秘学推广者中的杰出人物。他撰写的五本关于精神世界的书在法国和国外都很畅销。乔伊斯对神秘学持怀疑态度,他拥有卡德克的一本著作,并在书中标注了一些段落。本文探讨了乔伊斯在《尤利西斯》中使用卡德克的学说和词汇(如 "元神"、"轮回 "和 "夜游神")的各种方式。尤其是出租车司机对 "Eumaeus "的庇护,就像一个灵柜,适合斯蒂芬和布鲁姆这 "我们的两个夜游神"(《尤利西斯》16.326)见证的降神会。

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.
