Parallaxing Joyce is a groundbreaking collection of critical essays, as it approaches James Joyce's work using parallactic principles as its overriding theoretical framework. While parallax, a term that surfaces frequently in Joyce's work, originally derives from astronomy denoting the difference or change in the apparent position or the direction of an object as viewed from several angles, it has been adeptly appropriated in this volume to provide vibrant and fresh perspectives on Joyce's oeuvre. By employing a parallactic view comparing Joyce and Marilyn Monroe, films, art, serializations, philosophy, translation, music and censorship, among others, these scholars transform our way of reading not only Joyce but also the world around us. By comparing Joyce and Marilyn Monroe, films, art, serializations, philosophy, translation and censorship, among others, these scholars transform our way of reading not only Joyce but also the world around us.
