The course description is below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we commence 2024 faced with myriad crises of humanity ranging from war and conflict in Europe and the Middle East, internal political unrest within the EU, continuing refugee crises, post-truth, fake news, etc., the sentiments of Yeats\u2019s poem “The Second Coming” provide a chilling sense of prescience: “Turning and turning in the widening gyre\u2026the centre cannot hold\u2026Things fall apart\u2026The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an attempt to consider the current world situation and attendant issues, Ulysses for All 2024<\/strong> will focus on the question “What is a Nation?” and aim to arrive at a point where, even at a microcosmic level, an opportunity for what protagonist Leopold Bloom proclaims “I stand for the reform of \u2026morals\u2026New worlds for old\u2026Union of all, jew, moslem and gentile\u2026universal language with universal brotherhood” may be identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUlysses <\/em>is, without doubt, a pedagogic text \u2013 one that invites us to look into our own humanity and where Leopold Bloom undoubtedly constitutes Joyce\u2019s attempt to embody the most humane attributes of a modern identity in a world engulfed by chaos due to religious, nationalist, and imperialist aggression \u2013 ideologies which Joyce would later dub “the wisdom of the old world.” Indeed, the idea of belonging to multiple “nations” simultaneously or, concentric nationalities, manifests nowhere better than in the character of Leopold Bloom, Joyce\u2019s wandering, womanly, non-Jewish Jew.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile Joyce was among the hopeful integrationists of the era, his attitude is somewhat coloured by an underlying suspicion that fear and hatred are more enduring in humans than acceptance\u2026hence the situations we face, again and again, over a century later; and whilst the target group or perceived “other” may have changed, the essentialist rhetoric remains the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The future has never been more unpredictable, depending on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of human interest or even common sense. Mankind appears divided between those who believe in human omnipotence (Supermen), and those for whom powerlessness has become the principal experience of their lives. It is not sufficient that we merely lament and theorise the problems of our era, but rather imperative that we, as human beings, shape the necessary and humane response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
