Drawing on the work of sound-theorists such as Steve Goodman, Jacques Attali, and Paul Virilio, it shows how Joyce's familiarity with electronic components and musicological theories of 'fundamental frequency' allowed him to articulate a vision of the 'vibrant body'. Finnegans Wake is thus an example of 'haptic literature' that uses the interface between the body and technology to generate an anti-fascist biopolitics.","PeriodicalId":105673,"journal":{"name":"Dublin James Joyce Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129856817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is not surprising, given Dublin's proximity to County Wicklow and the fact that much of Dublin's population comprised first or second-generation Wicklow natives, amongst them John Francis Byrne (1880-1960). A contemporary of Joyce in school and a close companion in university, Byrne spent much of his boyhood and early manhood among family friends and relatives in Wicklow. He became the model for the character cranly in Stephen Hero and a Portrait, and the house in Eccles Street, Dublin, in which he briefly resided, and where he was visited by Joyce in 1909, became the Bloom residence in Ulysses. Byrne spent most of his later life in the United States, but visited Joyce in Paris twice during the 1920s and 1930s, when their renewed friendship seemed to have been a source of mutual delight. However, Byrne was later to discover himself described in Joyce's published correspondence and in Stanislaus Joyce's memoir, My Brother's Keeper in terms that angered him. He also experienced some frustration when his own memoir, silent Years, received more attention for what it said about Joyce than for what he considered to be his pioneering work on encryption. In recent years, in a world of cyber-technology, Byrne's work on encryption has won him a measure of posthumous celebrity that eluded him in his own lifetime.","PeriodicalId":105673,"journal":{"name":"Dublin James Joyce Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130283795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When we study the books that Joyce used in writing his own works, we find many different genres of what used to be considered obscene and thus forbidden literature, and Joyce seems to have found creative use for all of them. From lurid lives of saints and flagellation stories, to dirty songs and jokes or anthropological and medical technical literature about sex, Joyce's unromantic painting of human life had room for every aspect of lust and longing.","PeriodicalId":105673,"journal":{"name":"Dublin James Joyce Journal","volume":"239 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114000898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reuben J. Dodd Junior sued the BBC, claiming that he had been libelled in the production. He won an out-of-court settlement due to an error on the part of the BBC. This article suggests that Joyce's reluctance to return to Ireland was partially due to a fear of being sued for libel. It highlights the recurrence of the 'one and Eightpence' theme in Ulysses and looks at the BBC's suite of programmes for Bloomsday 1954. The BBC legal preparation for the case stresses the conflicted reception of Joyce's work in Ireland. The BBC settled as it did not wish to have an Irish court determine if a potential libel was committed at the point of reception or the point of transmission. It was also concerned about the potential anti-English bias of an Irish jury. The article concludes with a consideration of the increased awareness of the link of the Dodd family with Ulysses as a result of the legal proceedings.","PeriodicalId":105673,"journal":{"name":"Dublin James Joyce Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122567292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were, first of all, his prolific and highly significant scholarly publications on the philosophy and sociology of law, particularly the law governing states.

It traces the precise passages in the works of Mangan's editors and biographers which Joyce exploits without naming and with which he is not averse to taking some liberties. It also provides exact bibliographical details on secondary sources among which Joyce's vast literary culture allows him to roam.
