乔伊斯的名字和鬼魂:《尤利西斯》的自我意识

Joyce's Signature and His Ghost: The Self-Consciousness in Ulysses

乔伊斯在小说《尤利西斯》中对莎士比亚进行了极富个性的解读。这种解读揭示了莎士比亚个人生活和戏剧创作之间的联系,还启发了乔伊斯在作品里留下自己的名字和鬼魂来彰显作者的存在与作品的虚构本质。通过这些方式,乔伊斯构筑了《尤利西斯》的自我意识。这是自我批评进而帮助读者理解作品的尝试。因此,可以说《尤利西斯》是现代主义打破虚构的假象、张扬艺术自足之美的一个典范。

In Ulysses , Joyce makes a very personalized interpretation of Shakespeare. His interpretation not only reveals the connection between life and art of Shakespeare, but also inspires Joyce to leave his signature and ghost in Ulysses in order to demonstrate the existence of the author and the fictive nature of the works. By this means, Joyce constructs the self - consciousness of Ulysses. This is a trial of self - criticism attempting to assist the readers to understand his work. Consequently, it can be said that Ulysses is a model of modernism which breaks the tyrannical hold of the all - powerful author over the credulous readers and asserts the magnifi- cent self - sufficiency of art.
