What is Reauthorizing Joyce (florida James Joyce) about?

<p>Vicki Mahaffey argues that for James Joyce, language is the most important link between the unconscious and the socio-historical.&nbsp; It serves as a precise link beween the psychological and the political, between the individual and the communal, between the future and the past.&nbsp; Quoting <i>Finnegans Wake</i>, Mahaffey describes language as a bag full of "presents."</p> <p>&nbsp;This first paperback edition of <i>Reauthorizing Joyce</i> suggests that the reader's role in relation to Joyce's novels is more active and significant than is usually the case.&nbsp; "Reading Joyce goes beyond entertainment into 'hands on' instruction about how to perceive and process language more productively, enjoyably, and responsibly.&nbsp; Joyce provides readers with novels that are workshops in interpretive responsibility and sensual perceptiveness."</p> <p>&nbsp;Language, according to Mahaffey, is the real hero of Joyce's work.&nbsp; This study shows how language functions in Joyce as an index to unconscious desires and as a record of how people have responded to the sensual aspects of language through time.</p> <p>Vicki Mahaffey is associate professor of English at the University of Penn
