Joyce's writing is itself theoretical through and through, and much can be gleaned from mapping the developments in Joyce studies that have, in their own variously focused theoretical readings, identified, analyzed, evaluated and creatively re-enacted the crucial gestures of Joyce's texts. This study sets out to map the genealogy of a possible location of "Joyce" and "theory" in present-day James Joyce studies, demonstrating how the encounter between Joyce and theory changes the what and the how of reading, producing both a Joyce-again of theory and Joyce-inflected theory.
Philippe Sollers' groundbreaking 1973 novel, H, draws inspiration from the May 1968 Paris student/worker uprising and challenges conventional norms in literature. Described as "a music that is inscribed in language" (Julia Kristeva) and an "unpunctuated wall of words" (David Hayman), H eliminates plot, character, and setting, as well as punctuation, capitalization, and paragraph breaks, to create what Sollers termed "an external polylogue." The text embodies an infinite fragmentation of subjectivity, featuring a multitude of ventriloquized voices where "words turn round and come back, producing a material fullness of pleasures." This "suffocation" may be seen as its "beauty," according to Roland Barthes. With a rich array of tonalities, attitudes, modes, and ideologies, H exemplifies Sollers' belief that a literary work exists only potentially, with its realization depending on the readings it inspires and the contexts in which they occur. The first English-language translation, by Veronika Stankovianska and David Vichnar, brings this influential experimental text to a wider audience.

In reply to art critic Robert Hughes's famous question, "What has our culture lost in 1980 that the avant-garde had in 1890?" the eight essays collected here ask not only what post-WW2 experimental fiction might lack that the avant-garde of Joyce, Stein & Pound apparently possessed, but rather what has it gained? Rejecting Hughes's nostalgia for a paradise lost, Subtexts explores a parallel world of daring, interlinked experimentation, at times evoking and at others cannibalising institutional Modernism, in pursuit of unforeseen horizons. Among the major authors whose works are addressed, are Kathy Acker, Christine Brooke-Rose, Mark Danielewski, Steve McCaffery, Iain Sinclair, Philippe Sollers, and representatives of the Oulipo & the Situationist International.
Essays and interventions by seventeen international artists & theorists, on subjects ranging from literary terrorism, transgression, the 13/11 Paris shootings, cyberfeminism, scifi digi-porn, Kathy Acker's terrorist aesthetics, Andrea Brady's Abu Graib poems, the digital jihadi corporate industry, schizoanalysis, polymorphous perversity, & the corporate aesthetics of contemporary dictatorship."Naked hegemonies display themselves at every turn. Pornocommodification, epitomising the prevailing model of social life, represents the autistic conscience of the children of Marx and Coca-Cola. If History is satire, Commodity Hardcore is its gonzo realism: a "violence without qualities" performing a collective pay-per-view mindfuck, satisfaction guaranteed in endless time-delay, from here to eternity. Pornoterror is the wake-up call for the next upgrade, instalment, panic button. Daddy's on the TV, mummy's on the phone. There's always a fascist under the bed, right when you need one. Look, it's you." Featuring: Vanessa Place, Richard Tipping, Dominique Hecq, Richard Marshall, Penny Anti, Louis Armand, David Vichnar, Matt Hall, Lisa Gye & Darren Tofts, Ian Haig, Jaromir Lelek, Casey Carr, Vadim Erent, Thor Garcia, D. Harlan Wilson, Kinga Toth.
