概要 Symposium 2 “A Dangerous Book or a Love Story: Ulysses After a Hundred Years”
In 1933, Judge John Woolsey declared that Ulysses was not legally obscene. Today, almost a hundred years after Woolsey’s decision, Ulysses is not viewed as being obscene or pornographic. However, the
following types of questions are left unanswered: ‘Why did Joyce write materials that could be considered obscene at a time of strict censorship?’ ‘Did Joyce acknowledge that the book received attention all the more due to its obscenity trial?’ or ‘What was Joyce’s intention when he informed Frank Budgen that the “Penelope” episode was “probably more obscene than any preceding episode”?.’In this paper, I examine bodily descriptions of women in Ulysses, ‘Penelope’ in particular, and argue that those descriptions were important rather than obscene for women in the early twentieth century.
