Abstract

Abstract:Space and place in Finnegans Wake are often studied within a universalist framework where specific geographical locations get little emphasis and the idea of ever-expansive and international space becomes predominant. Analyzing HCE's city-building in "Haveth Childers Everywhere" (FW 536.28-554.10) presents the opportunity of bridging the longstanding gap in Joyce studies between localism and internationalism. In this essay, I argue that, in "Haveth Childers Everywhere," HCE essentially builds a cosmopolitan city by carefully curating local details from a wide range of cities all across the world. Applying the lens of cosmopolitanism and departing from the internationalist and universalist framework enable us to analyze how HCE's city-building preserves the cultural particularity of local details and acknowledges their cultural difference without subsuming them in a homogenizing grid. The critical cosmopolitanism of HCE's city rejects the hegemony of colonialism and exclusionary nationalism and explores the socio-cultural complexities of local details without invoking binaries of parochial/global, center/periphery, or superior/inferior. Analyzing the construction of HCE's city facilitates the understanding of how he creates the ideal receptacle for the still nascent national and cultural identity of the Wakean consciousness.
“Notshall中的所有空间”:在《Haeth Childers Everywhere》中审视Bygmester HCE的世界主义城市建筑
摘要:《芬尼根湾》中的空间和地点通常是在一个普遍主义的框架下进行研究的,在这个框架下,特定的地理位置很少得到重视,而不断扩张和国际化的空间观念占据主导地位。分析乔伊斯在《无处不在的孩子》(FW 536.28-554.10)中的城市建设,为弥合乔伊斯研究中长期存在的地方主义与国际主义之间的鸿沟提供了机会。在这篇文章中,我认为,在“到处都有孩子”中,HCE通过精心策划来自世界各地众多城市的当地细节,基本上建立了一个国际大都市。运用世界主义的视角,脱离国际主义和普遍主义的框架,我们可以分析HCE的城市建设如何保留当地细节的文化特殊性,并承认他们的文化差异,而不是将他们纳入一个同质化的网格中。HCE城市的批判性世界主义拒绝殖民主义的霸权和排他性的民族主义,探索地方细节的社会文化复杂性,而不调用狭隘/全球,中心/边缘或高级/低级的二元对立。分析HCE的城市建设有助于理解他如何为仍处于萌芽状态的Wakean意识的民族和文化认同创造理想的容器。
