Between Theory And Reality: Cosmopolitanism Of Nodal Cities In Paweł Huelle’S Castorp, Ania Spyra
Between Theory And Reality: Cosmopolitanism Of Nodal Cities In Paweł Huelle’S Castorp, Ania Spyra
Ania Spyra
FIVE YEARS BEFORE the publication of his novel Castorp, the Gdansk writer Pawel Huelle published a short piece of the same title in the essay collection Inne historie (1999), the title of which-translated as either "other stories" or "other histories"-consciously plays with the difficulty of writing a history of Gdansk, a theme to which almost all of the short pieces in this collection somehow return. The essay tells the story of a literary correspondence between a Lvov pastor and the writer Thomas Mann, in which Mann voices regret over some unelaborated ideas and abandoned storylines in The Magic Mountain. When …
Dr. Balachandra Rajan: From India To Canada, Fragments In Search Of A Narrative - In Memoriam, Teresa Hubel
Dr. Balachandra Rajan: From India To Canada, Fragments In Search Of A Narrative - In Memoriam, Teresa Hubel
Teresa Hubel
A heartfelt memorial piece for Dr. Balachandra Rajan, an Indian diplomat and poetic scholar, written by Teresa Hubel. Introduction: While preparing to write this tribute to Dr. Balachandra Rajan, I found myself wondering what in his eminent life I should be recalling for your benefit. Which events or personal preferences, habits, gestures, or even political commitments and publications can be tallied up to create some kind of coherent narrative that conveys the gist of him? The dilemma is that, when it comes to Dr. Rajan (who in my memory can never be remembered as anyone other than Dr. Rajan, not …
In Search Of The British Indian In British India: White Orphans, Kipling’S Kim, And Class In Colonial India, Teresa Hubel
In Search Of The British Indian In British India: White Orphans, Kipling’S Kim, And Class In Colonial India, Teresa Hubel
Teresa Hubel
Introduction: Contemporary scholars struggling to keep their work politically meaningful and efficacious often, with the best of intentions, invoke the triad of race, gender and class. But though this three-part mantra is persistently and even passionately recited, usually in the introductory paragraphs of a scholarly piece, ‘attentive listening,’ as historian Douglas M. Peers asserts, ‘reveals that class is sounded with little more than a whisper’ (825). Unlike the other two, class largely remains an under-explored and, consequently, little understood category of experience and inquiry. I can say with certainty that this is true in my own field of postcolonial studies, …

Bloom's Inferno: James Joyce's Hidden Dantean Landscape In The "Hades" Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
Bloom's Inferno: James Joyce's Hidden Dantean Landscape In The "Hades" Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
Barry Devine
James Joyce clearly used Homer’s Odyssey and its characters as a model for "Hades"; he makes that explicit on many occasions. Dante's Inferno, however, was another model, perhaps the original model, for this episode. In Homer's epic, Odysseus stops at the entrance to Hades and the spirits come to him. At no point does Odysseus actually enter the underworld, pass through various levels, cross trecherous rivers, and emerge from the other side, but Dante’s pilgrim does, and so does Joyce’s main character, Leopold Bloom. Bloom, encounters all nine levels of Dante's hell (in order), crosses four rivers, and emerges from …
“Daren’T Joke About The Dead”: James Joyce’S Concerted Effort To Include Humor In The “Hades” Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
“Daren’T Joke About The Dead”: James Joyce’S Concerted Effort To Include Humor In The “Hades” Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
Barry Devine
It is now widely accepted that during the revisions between The Little Review and the publication of Ulysses, Joyce went back over many episodes to strengthen the Homeric allusions. He added dozens of flower references to the “Lotus Eaters” episode, food references to “Lestrygonians,” and even more death and underworld allusions to “Hades.” At the same time, however, he was also doing much more than just multiplying the connections to Homer. He also added many allusions to popular culture, Irish nationalism, historical figures, and many more. These new allusions have nothing to do with Homer, but Joyce collected pages of …
