Title of the paper: Speech: mental base which allow us to accede to man´s
universe.
Author or topic: James Joyce
Abstract or summary of the research in not more than 100 to max.150 words:
After giving a general introduction about psychoanalysis, hermeneutics
and New Criticism, I will illustrate these critic movements in Joyce´s
works, centring my attention in Ulysses, showing the coincident points
between The Waste Land by Eliot (free verse, pieces of broken images, scraps
of civilisation), and Ulysses (stream of consciousness, fragmentation inside
our minds). After the First World War what we have is nothing except those
disordered fragments of civilisation and culture. In both we see fragmentary
rhythm and the inheritance of First World War poets themes. To illustrate
the emergency of unconscious and the decay of the classic novel I will
show the main differences with earlies novels like Dickens. I will analyse
Leopold Bloom as the symbol of a modern human being. Finally, I will show
the oppositions between Joyce and Becket.
Auto-evaluation: I’m going to work hard to try to obtain an A.
