Infos

Joyce and Jung offers a provocatively original chapter-by-chapter analysis of Stephen Dedalus’ psychosexual growth in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The author frames this within the Jungian soul-portrait gallery known as the «four stages of eroticism» in which Eve, Helen, Mary, and Sophia are the soul-portraits of Western civilization, drawing the collective eros into the psychic field to be witnessed as universal spectacle. In James Joyce’s twentieth-century classic, Stephen’s soul-portraits are the mother, the prostitute, the Virgin Mary, and the Bird-Girl.

Rezensionen

«Hiromi Yoshida’s innovative approach to ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ demonstrates how Joyce’s Stephen Dedalus reaches a heightened state of creativity through his gradual integration of feminine elements into his psyche. This illuminating and stunning analysis presents a valuable contribution to psychoanalytic feminist theory as well as to Joyce studies.» (Nancy Bombaci, Assistant Professor of Writing and Literature, Mitchell College, New London, Connecticut)
