Materialities of the Mental in the Works of James Joyce
James Joyce’s evocations of his characters’ thoughts are often inserted within a commonplace that regards the mind as an interior space, referred to as the ‘inward turn’ in literary scholarship since the mid-twentieth century. Emma-Louise Silva reassesses this vantage point by exploring Joyce’s modernist fiction through the prism of 4E – or embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive – cognition. By merging the 4E framework with cognitive-genetic narratology, an innovative form of inquiry that brings together the study of the dynamics of writing processes and the study of cognition in relation to narratives, Modernist Minds: Materialities of the Mental in the Works of James Joyce delves into the material stylistic choices through which Joyce’s approaches to mind depiction evolved.

Literary and Cinematic Explorations of War, Inequality, and Migration
An important task for scholars of cultural studies and the humanities, as well as for artistic creators, is to refigure the frames and concepts by which the world as we know it is kept in place. Without these acts of refiguration, the future could only ever be more of the (violent) same. In close dialogue with literary and cinematic works and practices, the essays of this volume help refigure and rethink such pressing contemporary issues as migration, inequality, racism, post-coloniality, political violence and human-animal relations. A range of fresh perspectives are introduced, amounting to a call for intellectuals to remain critically engaged with the social and planetary.

Abstract

The third chapter discusses some of the key ideas related to cognitive narratology and genetic criticism. The section on cognitive narratology zooms in on how the mindscapes Joyce created in his modernist fiction require specific narratological understandings of consciousness, characterisation, focalisation, and storyworlds. These terms are tailored to suit the needs of Joycean technicalities and the innovative rendering of content and form in his modernist works. As for genetic criticism, the gradual process of elaboration that was involved in Joyce’s literary mind-shaping is observable in the author’s paper workshop. This section establishes why the vantage point of genetic criticism is a fruitful way of approaching Joyce’s oeuvre by engaging with notes, drafts, letters, and so on. Then, the advantages of merging cognitive narratology and genetic criticism are discussed.

Abstract

By zooming out in relation to the analyses of Joyce’s protagonists’ minds through the lens of 4E-based cognitive-genetic narratology, the epilogue of this book concludes that the discourse of the ‘inward turn’ can no longer be upheld as the best way to approach the minds of Joyce’s characters. The author’s mind-evoking strategies portray cognitive and affective processes that are more often than not world-involving, and not necessarily ‘inward turning’. Joyce’s concentration on the faculties of the mind and his formally innovative depiction of thought processes enable him to display his protagonists in a fused interconnectedness with their surroundings.

Abstract

The prologue of this book delves into why ‘Joycean minds’ are illuminating examples of wider cultural models of mental experience, by examining what is meant by ‘the mind’ and ‘mental states’ and by providing examples featuring in James Joyce’s oeuvre to illustrate such concepts. By arguing why Joyce’s works are so congenial for reassessing the so-called ‘inward turn’ of modernist fiction on the basis of the nexus between cognitive narratology, genetic criticism, and 4E approaches to the mind, the prologue indicates how the Joycean texts examined in this book present particularly revealing case studies for genetic critics, narrative theorists, and philosophers who are interested in the broader conceptual issues explored here.
