The Sea
The Light of Which It Speaks
This article is a transcript of the third session of a reading group on James Joyce’s Ulysses run by the five lizards who guard the grave of Joyce in Zürich. The third chapter of Ulysses is “Proteus,” in which the character Stephen Daedalus strides across Sandymount Strand meditating upon the “ineluctable modality of the visible” and his own variegated processes of perception as he takes in the sea and the beach. Each lizard articulates a differe…
Synaesthesia
The following entry includes firstly a list of synaesthetic portals, and secondly an initial table of scaled sensory modalities following Felicity Colman’s ‘Fragment of a Modalities Map’ (Colman, 2019, p. 985-987). James Joyce famously begins his ‘Proteus’ chapter of Ulysses with Stephen Dedalus describing the ‘ineluctable modality of the visible’ (Joyce, 1922, p. 37). Synaesthesia presents a phenomenon whereby the modality is not merely inelucti…

A new theory of defamiliarisation as a process of queering, and of queering as a process of defamiliarisation The first book to examine defamiliarisation from a contemporary critical perspective Engages with new materialist feminisms and queer theory Demonstrates the importance of a simultaneously creative and critical approach by providing a gendered rewriting of Joyce’s chapter 'Oxen of the Sun' from Ulysses Helen Palmer examines the Russian fo…

The editors of the section discuss both contemporary and historicalarticulations of the materiality of language from a new materialist perspective. The new materialist project comprises looking for the immanence of language via three realms: its relation, its theorization, and its creation. Therefore, moving away from representationalist practices deman…
Rewritings/refoldings/refleshings
This paper develops the concept of fictive publics through the proximate gestures of rewriting, refolding and refleshing of certain characters. Feminist and queer rewritings of canonical literary texts have become a fairly lucrative area of publication, from Angela Carter’s now classic fairy tale collection The Bloody Chamber (1979) to Kathy Acker’s Eurydice in the Underworld (1997), and a more recent spate of mythological rewritings including Al…
Diffractive pedagogies
We theorise an interdisciplinary arts practice university course and consider the forms of educational imaginary challenged by our curriculum. We argue for the disruptive and generative potential of what we call diffractive pedagogy as an example of the type of learning that can take place when materiality and entanglement are considered as vital constituents. Through self-expression and interweaving across disciplinary boundaries, the potential …
