De Anima
Focusing on Joyce’s use of Aristotle’s De Anima, and on Aquinas’s response to Aristotle, this essay takes, as its starting point, the recourse to two areas of enquiry in recent work on modernism: animal studies and phenomenology. In this essay we examine the intersection within Ulysses of the concept of the soul in Aristotle and Aquinas, show how this relates to questions of animality, and open the way to asking what implication the theological r…
Wyndham Lewis and the modernists
In relation to the question of race, Wyndham Lewis is frequently seen as one of the triumvirate of antisemitic Anglo-American modernists alongside Pound and Eliot. Indeed these three figures provide a fascinating series of case studies. Their political-theoretical allegiances contrast in important ways, but as a group they still participate in a matrix of right-wing thought which was for them emergent in the 1920s and 1930s, but which for the pre…
Materialism and the Book
Contemporary materialist theory is converging with the study of material culture, as evidenced by increasing attention given to the book as a material object produced, circulated, and consumed as a commodity.

Moreover, it is difficult to conceive the book as a commodity, sin…
Development of an Inventory to Measure Ways of Knowing
This paper reports progress on the development of a multiple-choice test designed to provide a profile of an individual's epistemological hierarchy. A description of the three scales (metaphoric, empirical, rational) comprising the test is provided. Data on “criterion group” approaches to validity determination and “test re-test” checks on reliability are reported
