Guiding readers through the disorienting dreamworld of James Joyce's last work, Kimberly Devlin examines Finnegans Wake as an uncanny text, one that is both strange and familiar. In light of Freud's description of the uncanny as a haunting awareness of earlier, repressed phases of the self, Devlin finds the uncanniness of the Wake rooted in Joyce's rewritings of literary fictions from his earlier artistic periods. She demonstrates the notion of psychological return as she traces the obsessions, scenarios, and images from Joyce's "waking" fictions that resurface in his final dreamtext in uncanny forms, transformed yet discernible, often to uncover hidden, unconscious truths. Drawing on psychoanalytic arguments and recent feminist theory, Devlin maps intertextual connections that reveal many of Joyce's most deeply felt imaginative and intellectual concerns, such as the self in its decentered relationship to language, the elusive nature of human identity, the anxieties implicit in mortal selfhood, the male subject in its opposition to the female sexual "other." She suggests that the Wake records Joyce's implicit interest in the psychological counterpart to Vico's theory of historical repetition: Freud's theory of the insistent internal return of earlier narratives.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Travelling is the art of motion, motion results in moments of human encountering, and such moments manifest themselves in unsettling linguistic repercussions and crises of meaning. Places of arrival also function as inscriptions of such meaningful repercussions, inscriptions of the past crossing the present, of the other crossing the self. The contributions in this book explore places, rituals, texts and scriptures as religious or secular inscriptions – “topographies” – of such “arrivals.” Each arrival happens , and its very place manifests itself only as a momentous component of the process itself. Arrival is an event of conclusion as well as of urgency for subsequent explorations of new meanings to be read from the topography of the place, mirroring thus a signifying dynamic for the metamorphosis of the traveller’s self: “ topodynamic ” of arrival. In this vein this book investigates for the first time the dynamic of cultural formations of space, an aspect of spatiality which since the “spatial turn” in cultural discourse has mostly been neglected.

« La poésie n’invente pas un autre monde mais transforme le rapport qu’on a avec celui-ci », affirme Henri Meschonnic en soulignant à quel point le langage poétique - qu’il soit en vers ou en prose - permet d’exprimer notre condition entre un ici et un Ailleurs, entre moi et l’Autre. Un parcours critique et stylistique de la poésie romane méridionale propose dans cet ouvrage une vingtaine de contributions scientifiques pour définir comment le langage poétique, au fil du temps, a contribué à créer l’Ailleurs et ses images. Découverte et voyage, dialectique entre le proche et le lointain, étrangeté du langage, aventures linguistiques, poétiques totalisantes fondées sur l’Ailleurs, conscience de l’invisible ou du différent : telles sont les principales approches proposées par les études réunies qui couvrent les domaines de la littérature ibérique en castillan, en catalan et en portugais, de la littérature italienne en italien et en dialecte, de la littérature d’Amérique centrale et de deux aspects de la poésie française (la poésie de ‘l’amour de loin’ et la reprise de traditions romanes par Aragon). Les auteurs de l’ouvrage ont analysé les formes d’expression de l’Ailleurs en poésie pour trouver, des troubadours occitans jusqu’à notre époque, une volonté commune de découvrir ce que Jules Supervielle a nommé le « paysage humain ».

Human encounters with the natural world are inseparable from the history of travel. Nature, as fearsome obstacle, a wonder to behold or a source of therapeutic refuge, is bound up with the story of human mobility. Stories of this mobility give readers a sense of the diversity of the natural world, how they might interpret and respond to it and how human preoccupations are a help or a hindrance in maintaining bio-cultural diversity. Travel writing has constantly shaped how humans view the environment from foreign adventures to flight-shaming. If much of modern travel writing has been based on ready access to environmentally damaging forms of transport how do travel writers deal with a practice that is destroying the world they claim to cherish? This Element explores human travel encounters with the environment over the centuries and asks, what is the future for travel writing in the age of the Anthropocene?
