| Résumé: | The present essay aims at reading the eighth chapter of Finnegans Wake (2004; 2009), known as Anna Livia Plurabelle, by the Irish writer James Joyce. We intend to collate the notions of letter and resurrection, not in a thematic analysis, but in a reading that highlights the text's immanence, the textual surface. In order to achieve our goal we make use of theoretical apparatus from literary theory (AMARANTE, 2009; BLANCHOT, 2011, 2005; BRANCO, 2011, 2000; LAERE, 1969; MANDIL, 2003; SCHÜLER, 2004), from theology (AQUINO, 2002; BALTHASAR, 1971), from psychoanalysis (LACAN, 2007, 2009, 2008) and from philosophy (NANCY, 2001, 2006). Thereby, we seek to understand how the readability of James Joyce's text invite us to a reading that focuses on the materiality of the letter, such as it is written: in a discontinuous movement, by which the text is written as a body in continuity - the text is recognizable as made out of letters - disrupting - the meaning is not built for plot decoding and interpretation- which evanesces itself; we named this movement resurrection. |
