Abstract

ABSTRACT:This essay is a meditation on the contemporary migration and refugee crisis, the history of Irish emigration, and Joyce's awareness and treatment of such issues. It begins by discussing the official definitiions and political impacts of the terms "migrant" and "refugee," followed by an investigation of the risks and often tragic consequences of attempts to "migrate" to a better life (both nowadays and in the past). The second half of the essay explores how Joyce's texts treat such issues and their relationship to the politics and complexities of our contemporary moment—leading to an argument about the need for identificatory empathy or what I call "reverse parallax."

迁移与移情

摘要:本文对当代移民和难民危机、爱尔兰移民史以及乔伊斯对这些问题的认识和处理进行了思考。它首先讨论了“移民”和“难民”这两个术语的官方定义和政治影响，然后调查了为了更好的生活(无论是现在还是过去)而试图“移民”的风险和往往是悲剧性的后果。文章的后半部分探讨了乔伊斯的文本是如何处理这些问题的，以及它们与我们当代的政治和复杂性之间的关系——这导致了一场关于认同同理心的必要性的争论，或者我称之为“反向视差”。

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.
