ICLO-NLS 2021/2022 Inaugural Event
JOYCE & THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE
The
ICLO-NLS 2021/2022 Inaugural Event will take place ‘live-in-presence’
in the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) and will be ‘live-streamed’
The title “Joyce and the Feminine Principle”
stems from a reading of Joyce’s recasting of a fable by Aesop/ La
Fontaine: “The Fox and the Grapes”, into “The Mookse and the Gripes”,
which is one of the very few ‘stand-alone’ extracts that can be taken
from Finnegans Wake.
The Program will feature an introduction by Linda Clarke followed by a live reading of “The Mookse and the Gripes” by actor Sam Forde, with subsequent round table discussion with Raphael Montague, Rik Loose, Florencia Shanahan and our guest Thomas McNally.
Thomas is an Irish artist, writer, and philosopher. His philosophical
publications include Wittgenstein and the Philosophy of Language
(Cambridge University Press, 2017) and his articles have appeared in
journals such as Philosophical Investigations, The British Journal of
the History of Philosophy, and The Nordic Wittgenstein Review. In 2018
and 2014, The Lilliput Press published his illustrated edition of
Joyce’s fables, The Mookse & the Gripes and The Ondt & the
Gracehoper.
