ABSTRACT
James Joyce and Arnold Schoenberg

Within the context of hermeneutically possible (and of course, more or less virtual) encounter between Joyce and Schoenberg, it is (or, it could be) possible to clarify some fundamental ideas and intuitions of their immanent (literal or musical) poetics. Just to mention a question of structure, of linguistic and syntactic ordering of experience, of rhythm, sound and sonority of literal text, and of (unconscious, visceral or epidermal) corporality of any human quest for meaning. Reading Joyce implies more than just reading. It implies - listening. There is always some kind of (tonal or atonal) music beneath his ordering of words and sentences. Narrative formations are intentionally accompanied (or decentred, even deconstructed) thanks to their sub-linguistic effect on (even perfectly insomniac) recipient’s (hearing) body. Paraphrasing Hindemith, we could say that Schimberg’s ludus tonalis is in many important points (especially in its humor, irony, excitement, openness and contingency) analogous to Joyce’s ludus verbalis. Musical articulation of (psychoanalytically speaking) the Other scene is analogous to its literal articulation. These analogous (aesthetic) articulations have analogous (psychological, but not only psychological) motives and analogous (conscious and unconscious) effects on its recipients. Just think about all that irrational hostility and resistances that were bestially provoked during first performances of Schoenberg’s The Second String Quartet in F-sharp Minor. Just think about all calamities and misunderstandings that Joyce had to face while promoting his Dubliners and Ulysses. All this, and of course not only this, makes Joyce and Schoenberg possible partners in one (it could be) fruitful hermeneutical dialogue.
