Inhalt:

[headline]Explores the productive tension between historicist and nonhuman readings of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake Finnegans Wake - Human and Nonhuman Histories offers valuable new insights into the interwoven historical and planetary dimensions of James Joyce's final modernist masterpiece. It is the first full-length study to explore both the Wake's historiography through the lens of the nonhuman, and the novel's intersecting ecologies, technologies and bodies from a historicist perspective. These innovative readings combine a range of approaches (including animal studies, Anthropocene studies, the blue humanities, ecofeminism, ecomedia, labour studies and petrocultures) to trace the more-than-human histories depicted in Joyce's avant-garde text. The contributors connect key human/nonhuman motifs (atoms, genes, bogs, rivers, storms, bodily fluids, skin, wolves, mourning, music) to original, often surprising contexts (colonialism, the Irish Revival, state energy policies, the history of television). These twelve chapters from leading Joyce scholars re-evaluate Finnegans Wake from a twenty-first century vantage as a vital site for reflecting on the entangled histories, crises and possible futures of life on Earth.
