JAMES JOICE: DUBLIN 1882, EDUCATED AT JESUIT SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITY COLLEGE IN DUBLIN.
HE CAME FROM A WELL-TO-DO FAMILY THAT BECOME POOR BECAUSE OF HIS ALCOHOLIC FATHER THAT DIDN’T WORK. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TURNED AGAINST CHARLES PARNELL (ONE OF THE LEADING SUPPORTERS OF HOME RULE FOR IRELAND,1846-91) BECAUSE OF HIS AFFAIR WITH A MARRIED WOMAN; THE THEMES OF BETRAYAL AND THE TEMPORARY NATURE OF FAME INFLUENCED J. DEEPLY RIFLECTINGIN HIS CHOICE OF ANTI-HEROES AS PROTAGONISTS AND IN HIS REJECTION OF THE STIFLING ATMOSPHERE IN DUBLIN. HE DIDN’T SIMPHATISE WITH THE NATIONALIST MOVEMENT, HE SAW PATRIOTISM AS A BACKWARD MOVEMENTWHICH PARALISED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FREE SPIRIT IN IRELAND. HE BECAME A RELIGIOUS SCEPTIC BUT NEVER HOSTILE TO THE CHURCH. HE SELF-IMPOSED EXILE , LEFT IRELAND IN 1904 (TRIESTE,he gave private lessons,ROME,worked in a bank)WHEN HW WROTE THE DUBLINERS(WRITTEN BETWEEN 1905-09,PUBLISHED IN 1914. COLLECTION OF STORY EASY TO READ, SIMPLE LANGUAGE BUT DEEP MEANING, CONTRAST AND CONTINUATION OF THE TIME , past-present-future, CYCLICAL CIRCLE OF EVENTS THAT CONTINUES & TIME HAS HIS EFFECTS ON CARACHTERS( BERGSON “LA DIURE’ “) .
The role of the artist: HAD LOST HIS COMMANDING ROLE IN ART.THE TASK IS NEITHER TO TEACH NOR TO CONVINCE BUT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF REALITY THROUGH THEIR OWN SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTIONS. Form: HE ADOPTED DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW, DIFFERENT NARRATIVE TECNIQUES(from third person narrator to the stream of conciousness-interior monologue,narrative where the lack of punctuation or the sintax are meant to reproduce in writing the movement of thought), language: DIFFERENT LINGUISTIC STYLES APPROPRIATE TO DIFFERENT CARACHTER AND SITUATION,LINGUISTIC RESOURCEFULNESS,HE WAS ABLE ON RENDER IN WRITING THE RITHM, TONE AND PITCH OF A LARGE VARIETY OF SPEAKING VOICES. HE INVENTED NEW WORDS BUT NOBODY COULD UNDESTAND, JOYCE MISSION WAS TO CREATE A NEW LANGUAGE.
Themes:YOUTH, ADOLESCENCE, ADULTHOOD AND MATURITY, AND HOW IDENTIFY IS AFFECTED BY THESE DIFFERENT STAGES IN LIFE.AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL DIMENSION. Eveline EXEMPIFIES WELL BOTH JOYCE'S USE OF FORM AND THEME, SHE FACES THE FIRST CHALLENGE OF ADULTHOOD DREAMING OF ESCAPING FROM HER DRAB LIFE, BUT AT THE CRUCIAL MOMENT SHE IS POWERLESS TO ACT. ALTOUGH THE NARRATOR RARELY DISAPPEAR THE STORY IS A FORM OF THIRD-PERSON NARRATIVE WHICH PROCEEDS ENTIRELY FROM EVELINE'S POINT OF VIEW, MOSTLY FROM INSIDE HER MIND. THE LANGUAGE REPRODUCES THE PLAIN VOCABULARY AND SIMPLE SYNTAX OF THE CHARACTER. Ulysses EXEMPLIFIES THE WORK'S PARALLELISM WITH THE ODYSSEY, IT CONTRASTS THE EPISODE OF NAUSICAA'S CAPACITY TO SEE BEYOND APEREANCE AND HER COMING INTO WOMANHOOD WITH GERTY'S PROJECTION OF HER ROMANTIC FANTASIES ON TO REALITY. HE SHIFTS FROM THIRD-PERSON NARRATION TO INTERIOR MONOLOGUE. THE LANGUAGE AT THE BEGINNING IS RICH IN ONOMATOPOEIC WORDS, BABY LANGUAGE, AND COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE TO ADD TO THE RALISM AND VIVIDNESS OF THE SCENE. HE WROTE SOME NOTES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLISM (600 PAGES). PUBBLICATION: 1922 (PUBBLICATION OF "LYRICAL BALLADS").
The mythical method:INNOVATION IMPORTANT AS A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY,"IT IT SIMPLY A WAY OF CONTROLLING, OF ORDERING, OF GIVING A SHAPE AND A SIGNIFICANCE TO THE IMMENSE PANORAMA OF FUTILITY AND ANARCHY WHICH IS CONTEMPORARY HISTORY". MYTHS OFFERED A PATTERN ON WHICH TO ARRANGE THE FRAGMNTS OF EXPERIENCE AND ALSO SERVED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PLOT.
