Joyce & Jung

Zusatztext

Joyce & Jung offers a uniquely feminist poststructuralist and post-Jungian psychoanalytic analysis of Stephen Dedaluss psychosexual growth in James Joyces twentieth-century classic A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Hiromi Yoshida relocates Stephens growth within the Jungian soul-portrait gallery, known as the "four stages of eroticism," in which Eve, Helen, Mary, and Sophia are collective anima projections. Throughout this dazzling lyrical analysis of poetic identity formation, the mother, the prostitute, the Virgin Mary, and the Bird-Girl are celebrated as Stephen Dedaluss ironically experienced anima women, who enable his achievement of cross-dressed lyric authority.
