FW Motifs I (348pp), FW Motifs II (459pp), and FW Motifs III (310pp) is a single topic divided, for convenience, into three distinct volumes, totalling more than 3,000 entries. They are all launched here simultaneously. In addition to other advantages, the procedure gives each and every entry the characteristic of being open-ended. <\/p>\n

Open-ended lexicography should be the topmost feature of FW Studies for as long as we are \u2014 honestly and sincerely \u2014 trying to work out what the book is really about. We start from the basic expectation that Joyce’s FW is about everything. At a time of controversial globalisation, when no literature is ‘national’ any more \u2014 a single literature of the European Union is, currency-wise, quite inconceivable \u2014 FW suddenly leaps, deliberately and voluntarily, into the unique position of being a piece of genuinely European fiction. <\/p>\n

It is European genetically, having been conceived, and scribbled, in bits and pieces all over the place, Copenhagen included, with Dick Ellmann’s biography certifying it. It is European linguistically, with a neat list of 40 languages (Danish excluded!) inextricably tagged to its very Manuscript. And, finally, it is profoundly European in point of subject matter: the Motif is one of the three or four kinds of glue that have been consistently used to fuse it together. That is the reason why glue specialist Clive Hart discusses the Motif glue together with the Structure glue.
\n
\n It is the kind of binding stuff that Roland McHugh has no ways or means to touch in his Annotations: some of the building blocks are there, of course \u2014 in meaning only \u2014 but in quite another capacity. For what counts most with motifs is their frequency of occurrence; though low frequency never entails lack of amplitude. But we regret that 50 years of Joyce Studies, with Foundations sprinkled here and there, have ignored the major motifs, never treating them as such. Bear in mind please that the fairly systematic study of motifs \u2014 by the side of langues et civilisations \u2014 provides the safest inroad into the real overall understanding of this complex James Joyce book. <\/p>\n

Finnegans Wake Motifs I, II and III, edited by C. George Sandulescu is formally launched on Friday 7 September 2012. But it is available for consultation and downloading on receipt of this Press Release, at the following internet address:<\/p>\n

Comunicat de Pres\u0103
\nBucure\u0219ti, 7 septembrie 2012 <\/p>\n

Edi\u021bie online<\/p>\n

Contemporary Literature Press,
\n sub auspiciile Universit\u0103\u021bii din Bucure\u0219ti, \u00een colaborare cu British Council \u0219i Institutul Cultural Rom\u00e2n <\/p>\n

Anun\u021b\u0103 publicarea volumului<\/p>\n

Finnegans Wake Motifs I, II \u0219i III
\nde C. George Sandulescu. <\/p>\n

(ISBN 978-606-8366-30-2. ISBN 978-606-8366-32-6. ISBN 978-606-8366-34-0; \u00een total 1,115 pagini)<\/p>\n

FW Motifs I (348pp), FW Motifs II (459pp) \u0219i FW Motifs III (310pp) constituie de fapt un singur volum cu peste 1.000 de pagini \u0219i mai mult de 3.000 articole de dic\u021bionar. Aceasta este, a\u0219adar, ra\u021biunea pentru care le lans\u0103m \u00eempreun\u0103. \u00cemp\u0103r\u021birea arbitrar\u0103 \u00een trei volume are avantajul c\u0103 fiecare articol, luat \u00een parte, r\u0103m\u00e2ne deschis: cititorul este astfel invitat s\u0103 duc\u0103 mai departe cercetarea deja \u00eenceput\u0103. <\/p>\n

Scopul celor trei volume de Motive, ca de altfel al \u00eentregii serii Joyce Lexicography, publicate de Contemporary Literature Press, este s\u0103 descopere \u2014 ori m\u0103car s\u0103 \u00eencerce s\u0103 descopere \u2014 ce anume urm\u0103re\u0219te Joyce s\u0103 ne transmit\u0103 prin Finnegans Wake. Pornim de la premisa c\u0103 Joyce vrea s\u0103 prezinte \u00eentregul univers p\u0103m\u00e2ntean. <\/p>\n

S\u0103 nu uit\u0103m c\u0103, atunci c\u00e2nd a scris aceste enigmatice 628 de pagini, Joyce n-a avut nicio o re\u0219edin\u021b\u0103 stabil\u0103: cartea aceasta este un jurnal imaginar de c\u0103l\u0103torie. Dar ea este \u0219i un dic\u021bionar viu, care include 40 de limbi, \u00een\u0219iruite de \u00eensu\u0219i autorul ei pe ultima fil\u0103 de manuscris. Ne mai r\u0103m\u00e2ne doar s\u0103 ad\u0103ug\u0103m c\u0103 Finnegans Wake este \u00een primul r\u00e2nd despre Europa. Motivele sunt tocmai acele elemente care ne \u00eeng\u0103duie s\u0103 ne apropiem c\u00e2t mai mult de un a\u0219a-zis „subiect” al acestei c\u0103r\u021bi… <\/p>\n

Pornind de la Wagner, ideea de leitmotiv a f\u0103cut carier\u0103. Printre scriitorii care au folosit-o drept procedeu literar au fost T.S. Eliot \u0219i James Joyce; dar s\u0103 nu uit\u0103m nici pe Gertrude Stein, cu al ei dicton a rose is a rose is a rose. Mecanismul este simplu: motivul ac\u021bioneaz\u0103 prin repetare. FW Motifs porne\u0219te de la o frecven\u021b\u0103 minim\u0103 de 2 \u0219i ajunge p\u00e2n\u0103 la 55 \u00een unele cazuri. Consider\u0103m c\u0103 aceast\u0103 repetare este important\u0103 pentru felul \u00een care Joyce jongleaz\u0103 cu literele, sunetele, cuvintele, sensurile \u0219i ideile: faptul c\u0103 un motiv poate avea 40, 50, sau chiar 55 de variante, spune foarte multe celui care analizeaz\u0103 implica\u021biile fiec\u0103rui motiv \u00een parte, dar \u0219i ceea ce au ele \u00een comun. Aceste Motive sunt p\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 langues et civilisations din toate timpurile \u0219i din toate locurile! Tot ele sunt \u0219i drumul cel mai sigur c\u0103tre \u00een\u021belegerea complexit\u0103\u021bii lui Joyce, care, credem noi, rezid\u0103, paradoxal, \u00eentr-un m\u0103nunchi de idei relativ simple. <\/p>\n
