The Most Dangerous Book in the World: Session 4 recording, plus details for session 5

<html>
<p>http://i66.tinypic.com/aqbty.png</p>
<p>Once it was called <em>the most dangerous book in the world</em>. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2000/mar/30/news.obituaries">Anthony Powell</a>&nbsp; remembered smuggling a copy of the original Shakespeare and Company edition of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/from-the-archive-blog/2012/jun/15/archive-james-joyce-ulysses-bloomsday"><em>Ulysses</em></a>&nbsp;from Paris. Even George <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/georgeorwell">Orwell</a>&nbsp;was reportedly elated by the possibility that he had set eyes on Joyce in the <em>Deux Magots</em> cafe in 1928, a popular meeting place for Parisian writers and intellectuals, and in the process citing <em>Ulysses</em> as one of his influential books.</p>
<p>In the 1920s, publishers were fined and ordered to cease publication of <em>Ulysses</em>, and up to the 1930s publishing houses waged years-long legal battles just so they could publish&nbsp;the novel. Part of the reason behind all of that is that James Joyce was in many ways ahead of his time: He entertained uncommon thoughts and ideas in a time where uncommon thoughts were deemed dangerous. Luckily for us, he didn’t shy away from putting those thoughts in this literacy work of art.</p>
<p>Almost a century later, here we are still trying to decipher the mysteries that he left us by creating an international Book Club hosted by a Blockchain-based platform.</p>
<p>If Joyce was reading this today, he would probably be as bewildered as he left us with his mind-stretching puzzles.</p>
<p>For those who missed it, here’s a quick recap to last Monday’s meeting, session 4 of the Official Steemit Book Club.</p>
<h2>CHAPTER 3: PROTEUS</h2>
<p>From the very beginning, we dive deep into the mind of Stephen Dedalus as he attempts to forge his own art and aesthetics. In fact, most of the chapter consists almost entirely of Stephen’s stream-of-consciousness thoughts.</p>
<p>This is one of the toughest chapters in <em>Ulysses</em>, and genius mythology professor Joseph Campbell tells of buying the book in Paris when it first came out. Upon getting this chapter, he stormed into the publisher’s office in a flurry, and demanded to know what this incomprehensible nonsense was all about.</p>
<p>The publisher, Sylvia Beach, gave him a guide to <em>Ulysses</em> that enabled him to get a footing in the world inside the book, and Campbell became a convert—reading the book some 52 times afterward, and each experience was a new revelation.</p>
<p>Chapter 3 opens with Stephen wandering along the beach, contemplating the difference between the material world in its true form and the way his eyes (and ears) present it to him.</p>
<p>At first impression, Stephen briefly seems to entertain some sort of philosophical solipsism, the concept that the world only exists in our individual perceptions of reality. But soon enough, he starts going through the practical refutation of this theory while slapping his walking stick against a rock.</p>
<p>Stephen's initial dilemma in <em>Proteus </em>is purely philosophical. The idea that all things are bound up in inescapable change ("ineluctable modality"). He wonders about the nature of reality, if sounds exist even when there are no conscious beings to hear them.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Does an object exist if no one sees it? He seems to wonder.</p>
<p>The first two paragraphs of <em>Proteus</em> are fairly hard ones unless one starts to understand Joyce’s tream-of-consciousness approach and begins to understand the complexity of Stephen's reflections as he ponders the question of what is real, and what is merely an appearance.&nbsp;</p>
<p>He seems to believe that we all inevitably see merely representations of reality, and never reality itself.</p>
<p>http://i64.tinypic.com/2zzomz9.png</p>
<p>The very first sentence in the chapter “Ineluctable modality of the visible,” is ostensibly a direct reference to Aristotle’s <em>Of Sense and the Sensible,</em>&nbsp;that what is perceived by the eye is not necessarily implicit in the subject itself.</p>
<p>Aristotle believed that we are first cognizant of bodies through their translucence or transparency (the diaphane) and how transparency is something so common on nature and contrary to popular belief it is not exclusive to things like glass or water.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stephen remembers how Dante judged Aristotle to be a genius and quoted him in Italian:&nbsp;<em>Maestro di color che sanno,&nbsp;</em>"master of those who know."&nbsp;</p>
<p>Opening his eyes, Stephen notices two midwives, Mrs. Florence MacCabe, a widow and another woman. And strangely enough, he immediately starts imagining that one of the women has a miscarried fetus in her bag.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As his thoughts keep drifting away thinking about birth, conception, Adam and Eve… He starts entertaining stranger yet humorous thoughts mainly picturing the umbilical cord as a telephone line running back through history through which he could place a call to “Edenville.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dedalus ultimately comes to the conclusion that he was “made not begotten,” in that his soul was created out of nothing and bears no relation to his biological parents.</p>
<p>This sets the stage for the Odyssey parallel that runs through the book: That Stephen is a metaphorical Telemachus in search of his metaphorical (and non-biological) Odysseus father Leopold Bloom.</p>
<p>http://i67.tinypic.com/2elroed.png</p>
<p>This is foreshadowed in an amazing paragraph in the middle of the chapter, in which Stephen recounts a dream that foreshadows the Circe dream-like chapter of the book where he and Bloom connect.</p>
<p>Chapter Three has a fairly obvious theme of change and transformation that seems to be in a direct correlation to the Homeric character of Proteus, the shape-shifting God of the sea who could change forms at will.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As you’d expect, this chapter is full of transformations of all sorts: reproduction, reincarnation, and material change.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The first two sections of <em>Ulysses</em>&nbsp;were not especially what you call easy reads, but this one stepped it up a notch. It was also humorous at times, as when Stephen Dedalus is trying to write a poem and playing with the rhyme scheme.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the next chapters of the book enter Bloom’s more prurient and less philosophical world, and the going gets lighter and more fun. So we hope that you can join us now that we are out of the woods and into the meat of the novel.</p>

Glad it helped. Still on the last few episodes. What I didn't know before that was that Joyce had a fourth work planned. Wonder if notes or a draft exist anywhere.

Did you ever send out invitations to the first session of the book club?  I didn't see anything here or on chat on what was supposed to be the first day.

Totally my bad! I was checking the first Book Club post comments to send invitations to everyone who seemed interested from the comments, I realized you were getting married so immediately I thought to wish you and Matt congratulations and I forgot about sending you Book Club invitation.

Sorry!

I just sent you an invitation to the Book Club chat room, I send reminders every Monday with call details.

It's not that late, and I hope you can join us

Here is a good audiobook version.  Only found two for free and this is the superior one; its up on youtube but here it has no annoying ads.

https://archive.org/details/Ulysses-Audiobook

recording is from an Irish radio show, 1980's.

for those of us who may get stuck no the words visually, this can help the reading go more smoothly.

edit: just noticed they have a better quality version https://archive.org/details/Ulysses-Audiobook-Merged/

"it may be emetic, but it's no aphrodisiac"  Ah, the human obsession with 'intent'. Makes all the difference, and that is very bizarre and fascinting to me. I had no idea that a work of literature was that controversial, in 'non-totalitarian' Western Civ.  

I'm curious whether being written by an irish-catholic author had anything to do with that. As 'Catholics' were (are?) heretical pagans in the perception of Protestantism.

Yikes Campbells readings of the book were some 52 times! WOW! And to no surprise he had some new experiences and revelations reading Ulysses.

Big Campbell fan here...so, if he manged to struggle with the book and eventually to love it, maybe I'll give it another chance, too! I found it overly confusing on my first try at it, but glad to see I'm not alone in that.
