Trapped in the Nightmare of History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Joyce is right about history being a nightmare - but it may be the
nightmare from which no one can awaken. People are trapped in history
and history is trapped in them." (from 'Stranger in the Village', James
Baldwin)
=======
Here is an interesting page on James Joyce
http://www.amherst.edu/~clboudre/james_joyce
...nothing can be invented on the subject of Joyce. Everything we can say
about Ulysses...has already been anticipated, including, we have seen, the
scene about academic competence and the ingenuity of metadiscourse.
We are caught in this net. All the gestures made in the attempt to take the
initiative of a movement are found to be already announced in an
overpotentialized text that will remind you, at a given moment, that you
are captive in a network of language, writing, knowledge, and even
narration. - Derrida (cited in one of the essays in the above link)
