"In this perceptive study, Shelly Brivic examines James Joyce's writing through the analysis of Jacques Lacan and Slavoj Zizek. Brivic deftly establishes theoretical links between the internal or subjective aspect of Joyce's A Portrait of the Artists as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegan's Wake and Lacan and Zizek's psychoanalytic work. While Joyce utilized writing as expansion, Lacan and Zizek dissected what is not yet enclosed by language. Brivic argues that Joyce, Lacan, and Zizek's works all embody the idea that the exploration of an "inner" world enhances our perception of the "outer" world by defining the submerged language devices that shape our exterior observation. Both Joyce and Lacan present challenges to their readers and Brivic clarifies Lacan's ideas in order to bring new meaning to Joyce's work. Brivic makes clear that the thinkers whom Joyce inspired have proven fruitful in expanding his exploratory comprehension into new territories that expand into a global vision."--BOOK JACKET.
