초록

This essay attempts to examine some implications of James Joyce’s “Eveline” and psychoanalytical theory. In mirror stage, according to Lacan, the infant identifies itself with the idealized image of the mirror and feels jouissance under the gaze of the Other, since the gaze indicates the Other’s recognition of the infant as subject, and the first object of desire is to be recognized by the Other. Eveline faces a sad reality, being suppressed by her patriarchal father and feeling no sense of fulfillment from her job. Her lover, Frank, wants her to leave and go to Buenos Aires with him but her mother’s dying words, “Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!”, prevent her from going with him. Mrs. Hill has requested that her daughter should play her part as long as she can, but her final craziness, which Eveline a glimpse of this elsewhere where she upholds(unconsciouly) the question of her own jouissance. Lacan was a fervent reader of Joyce’s, he interested in Joyce’s “Lalangue”. In this work, “Lalangue” cannot be interpreted, it’s acting as a symbol. So Eveline, in her final moment, has glimpsed “a distant unknown country” where “she, Eveline” ex-ists.

Abstract

This essay attempts to examine some implications of James Joyce’s “Eveline” and psychoanalytical theory. In mirror stage, according to Lacan, the infant identifies itself with the idealized image of the mirror and feels jouissance under the gaze of the Other, since the gaze indicates the Other’s recognition of the infant as subject, and the first object of desire is to be recognized by the Other. Eveline faces a sad reality, being suppressed by her patriarchal father and feeling no sense of fulfillment from her job. Her lover, Frank, wants her to leave and go to Buenos Aires with him but her mother’s dying words, “Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!”, prevent her from going with him. Mrs. Hill has requested that her daughter should play her part as long as she can, but her final craziness, which Eveline a glimpse of this elsewhere where she upholds(unconsciouly) the question of her own jouissance. Lacan was a fervent reader of Joyce’s, he interested in Joyce’s “Lalangue”. In this work, “Lalangue” cannot be interpreted, it’s acting as a symbol. So Eveline, in her final moment, has glimpsed “a distant unknown country” where “she, Eveline” ex-ists.
