dc.description.abstract | Aside from the recent development in the psychiatry, melancholy has been a
discursive theme in many works of art. Mourning and Melancholy of Sigmund Freud is still helpful for thinking about the literary characters suffering from the disappointed love or loss of someone: it is goes without saying that Stephen Dedalus cannot recover from his mourning over his mother. Melancholy can be analysed as a fundamental disposition in Joycean characters, and especially Giacomo Joyce would supply the clue to understand the pivot of self-consciousness of Joyce as an artist. Masashi Miura, a Japanese literary critic, says that the eyes of melancholiac, which are inept with direct contact with the social reality, look at everything in a considerabledistance as if they were looking through a telescope upside down. These are the eyes which look at everything as a past thing, looking the present as the past. And also, Bin Kimura, a Japanese psychiatrist, says that a man of melancholy experiences all the historic development of the past, the present and the future as an irrevocable determination. This type of melancholy can mostly be reified in Joycean texts, especially in Giacomo Joyce. Joyce sometimes introduces outer voices: the voice of a fisherwoman in Exiles or a crying of Stephanos Dedalos in A Portrait, which can provide the characters a kind of recognision: or captions in 7th episode in Ulysses, whichthe characters in the narrative world can not hear. The latter can remind us of the real world where the author is representing the subject, whose unknowability or alterity was repressed in the world of fiction. By introducing such voices, Joyce makes it possible that the alterity of the represented subject (especially a woman) can manifest itself beyond the domination and control of the melancholic author. | - |
