Podcast appearances and mentions of James Joyce

Phelim here: it's just me on the Ann and Phelim Scoop podcast today as Ann travels.  I know I miss her, too.While LA burns for immigrants, sorry "mostly peacefully burning", Northern Ireland has become the latest part of Europe to burn for the completely opposite reason. The world is tired of open borders.And we interview journalist Michael Murphy, who reveals how Europe is now at long last sharing American skepticism regarding immigration. And how  in reality Donald Trump is more European than most European politicians. Michael made this brilliant documentary, “Ireland is Full,” where he gives  Irish people a chance to speak for themselves about mass immigration that is flooding their country.Here's the link to the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llAnoLFUgHM Also Happy BloomsDay! Also  on the podcast Phelim talks about how James Joyce was years ahead of his time when he wrote Ulysses, and how it connects to modern day anti-Semitism in Ireland.Finally we learn that in at least one jurisdiction an unborn baby is legally recognised as a fully formed human and is entitled to all the protections adults receive. We reveal how a man is now facing a capital murder charge after killing his unborn baby.Amid the depressing news from Israel we have a joyful announcement from Shani who was one of the main characters in our OCTOBER 7 play. And please leave a comment wherever you get our content and you never know, we may read it on the show.And remember guys we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit so please go to our website(linked below), and give what you can so that we can keep bringing our show, and special projects to you.

Peter Mendelsund is a graphic designer, writer, and musician. Until recently he was the associate art director at Alfred A. Knopf where he designed book covers for everyone from James Joyce to Franz Kafka, Stieg Larsson and Simone De Beauvoir. In 2014, he published What We See When We Read and Cover and will publish his first novel, Same Same, next year. In this conversation, Peter and I talk about his relationship to graphic design, working across mediums and disciplines, and the differences between writing fiction and nonfiction. This episode originally aired on May 2, 2018. Since we spoke, Peter became the creative director of The Atlantic and published his second novel, The Delivery. This week, he has two new books out, Exhibitionist, a memoir, and Weepers, a novel.

President Higgins and his wife Sabina hosted a Bloomsday Garden Party at Áras an Uachtaráin. Bloomsday, 16 June 1904, is the date immortalised in James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses and named after the book's protagonist Leopold Bloom. Each year, the President and Sabina host a special Bloomsday themed Garden Party to celebrate the work of James Joyce. https://president.ie/en/diary/details/president-hosts-a-bloomsday-garden-party-15-june-2025

Today is Bloomsday, celebrating the James Joyce's Ulysses. There are many traditions that have formed from this literary work mapping out Dublin. From buying bars of lemon soap, visiting the James Joyce Centre and tucking into offal. Wee sent our reporter Bella Finn to find out how Joyceans are celebrating.

Zum „Bloomsday 2025“ und zum 75. Geburtstag des Hörspielmachers Klaus Buhlert senden wir seine SWR-Inszenierung des wohl berühmtesten Monologs der Weltliteratur: Im letzten Kapitel seines Romans „Ulysses" lässt James Joyce die Frauengestalt Molly Bloom in einem sexuell freizügigen Bewusstseinsstrom den 16. Juni 1904 in Dublin Revue passieren. Hörspiel nach dem gleichnamigen Roman in 18 Teilen Aus dem Englischen von Hans Wollschläger - Teil 18 Mit Birgit Minichmayr als Marion "Molly" Bloom Bearbeitung, Musik und Regie: Klaus Buhlert Produktion: SWR/DLF 2012

Ik was de afgelopen week in Parijs. Dat was geweldig, ik ben naar de House of Worth-tentoonstelling geweest, heb alsmaar baguettes naar binnen gewerkt en ik heb heerlijk rondgedwaald over begraafplaats Père Lachaise.  Onderweg naar deze begraafplaats kwam ik niet geheel toevallig langs een boekwinkeltje en daar vond ik, dat was wel toevallig, een boek over de vrouwen van Père lachaise. Want Père Lachase is vooral bekend vanwege de beroemde heren die er begraven liggen: we noemen een Jim Morrison, een Frederic Chopin en een Marcel Proust, maar er liggen natuurlijk ook heel veel vrouwen begraven. Damews die in hun tijd bekend waren maar nu misschien niet meer zo. Zoals dichteres Claire Goll. Het is een prachtig boek, Mère Lachaise van Camille Paix, en ik dook in al die dames, zocht schilderijen en foto's uit hun tijd, las hun gedichten. Ik vond het zo leuk dat ik dacht: waarom maak ik niet een serietje De Ontembaren, dames die ondanks de gangbare mores een stempel op de wereld hebben gedrukt in hun tijd, zelfs al weet niet iedereen dat meer. Dus vandaag deel 1 in de serie De Ontembaren: dichter Claire Goll die affaires had met Rainer Maria Rilke, André Malraux en Franz Werfel. Na haar dood laat ze een buitengewoon venijnige autobiografie publiceren waarin iedereen een flinke trap na krijgt maar vooral James Joyce: dat stuk schors zonder sap of warmte, die uitgedroogde peer... Ik las voor deze aflevering Mère Lachaise van Camille PaixEn nu we het toch over vermakelijke boeken hebben om te geven aan geliefden: Koop mijn nieuwe boek

The Old Man WAS Still Alive! Film writer and physical media enthusiast Conor Holt returns to Better Than the Movie to discuss a pair of classics: John Huston's film The Dead (1987), adapted from the short story by James Joyce, which first appeared in Dubliners (1914).

Hosted by Allan Traylor, Justin Remer, and Tyler Austin.  Produced by Justin Remer.  Recorded at the LAPL Octavia Lab.  Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire.  Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band. 

Une boucle en 1972...Cette année les londoniens URIAH HEEP sortent l'un de leurs meilleurs opus (faut dire que c'est l'age d'or du groupe) : "Demons And Wizards" en extrait dans ce 428ème épisode d'Amarok en direct, tandis que la formation poursuit une longue tournée d'adieu... Découverte d'un artiste bordelais dont on sent bien l'inspiration d' illustres musiciens anglais des 60's mais qui sait faire preuve de créativité et d'originalité : ARTHUR SATAN vient de publier son 2ème album solo : "A Journey That Never Was". Plus d'une heure de bonheur ! Un album  chaleureusement recommandé, comme ce titre diffusé ici pour notre plus grand plaisir !  Retour outre-manche avec l'ombre de SYD BARRETT à travers le groupe SLOWDIVE et une reprise de son "Golden Air" dans le pur style shoegaze des années 90's. Musique composée par le fondateur sacrifié de Pink Floyd mais qui n'en avait pour une fois pas rédigé le texte, préférant mettre en musique les vers du poète irlandais James Joyce. Dites donc ça fait beaucoup de talent en 4 minutes !  Direction l'Italie avec une artiste découverte assez récemment par l'animateur de cette émission que le monde entier nous envie (enfin l'émission !)  grâce à Louis De Ny, LE spécialiste du rock progressif italien. Il s'agit d' ELISA MONTALDO avec ici un extrait du somptueux "Fistful Of Planets Pt II", publié en 2021 dans une édition multisensorielle (parfum, livret, dessins et bien sur la musique d'Elisa). Alors évidemment seul le son est accessible en radio mais quel Son...Unique !  En 1995, KING CRIMSON publie un nouvel opus après la 2ème rupture de sa carrière. Sauf que cette fois-ci la formation de Mr Fripp reste la même que la précédente, mais avec deux musiciens en plus. Ce qui en fait un groupe singulier à double guitare, double basse et double batterie (dont celle de Bill Bruford qu'on retrouvera plus tard...) Inspirés pas des mastodontes tels que Rush ou Pink Floyd, les membres de THE AURORA PROJECT n'ont pas à rougir avec leur nouvel opus qui ne déroge pas à la règle de produire des albums concepts depuis leurs débuts en 1998. Un univers d'anticipation mis en son par ces talentueux musiciens des Pays-bas. Connaissez-vous EDINBURGH OF THE SEVEN SEAS ? Si vous êtes Docteur en Géographie, vous savez déjà qu'il s'agit d'une toute petite et unique localité d'une ile britannique perdue en plein océan atlantique sud...Mais si vous êtes passionnés de musique et nantais, alors vous savez peut-être qu'il s'agit aussi d'une formation issue de la Cité des Ducs, qui vient de sortir un nouvel EP au son des 90's, plutôt introspectif, voire shoegaze à l'instar de Slowdive évoqué plus haut. Un extrait à découvrir dans cette émission, voire à redécouvrir si vous avez eu la sagesse d'écouter ou de regarder le SUN MUSIC ADDICT, numéro du 16 mai où la formation avait défendu avec brio "Childhood Ghost" dans nos studios nantais !  Retour pour un 2ème extrait ici depuis sa sortie du nouvel album de LIA HIDE. L'artiste hellénique revient avec "Aristophobia Nervosa", qui relève du génie !! Audacieux, avant-gardiste,inspirant et courageux car chanté en dans sa langue maternelle, ce disque une une des belles surprises de la saison !  Revoici donc Bill Buford, mais cette fois au sein de YES. Ces dernières années le groupe publie pour la plus grande joie des fans (mais peut-être pas de leurs banquiers) des versions remastérisées, remixées, augmentées, alliant vinyles, CD et Blu-Ray 5.1 des grandes productions de leur age d'or. Ici un extrait remixé par le "saittoutfaire" Steven Wilson de l'album "Fragile" qui a donc bénéficié de cette cure de jouvence l'année dernière. Autre groupe expérimenté : les écossais LONG EARTH avec une quarantaine d'années au compteur mais forcément moins exposé que leurs compatriotes précédemment cités puisqu'ils n'ont sorti leur 3ème album  qu'en 2024 ! Les musiciens jouaient ensemble depuis toutes ses années, mais se sont enfin mis (pour le plus grand bien de nos cages à miel) à publier leur musique sur galettes depuis seulement quelques années. Bouclons la boucle avec l'an 1972, mais cette fois de l'autre côté de l'Europe (géographiquement mais aussi musicalement) avec l'une des figures de prou de ce mouvement allemand appelé Krautrock : AMON DÜÜL II.  Ici pour un extrait de leur album "Wolf City". Vive LES rocks progressifs !  Page Facebook de l'émission : AMAROK44

Narrating Irish Female Development, 1916-2018 (Edinburgh UP, 2024) studies narratives of Irish female and feminized development, arguing that these postmodern  narratives present Irish female maturation as disordered and often deliberately disorderly. The first full-length study of the Irish female  coming of age story, the book develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology, derived from the belated oedipalization of Joyce's bildungsheld, to read these stories. This study argues that all Irish maturation stories are shaped by the uneven and belated maturation story  of the Irish republic itself, which took as its avatar the Irish woman,  whose citizenship in that republic was unrealized, as indeed was her citizenship in an Irish republic of letters. Dougherty takes the writing  of Irish women as seriously as other critics have taken Joyce's work. Discusses texts by James Joyce, John McGahern, Hannah Lynch, Kate O'Brien, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, Mary Colum, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Dervla Murphy, Clare Boylan, Nuala O'Faolain, Eavan Boland, Anne Enright, Claire Keegan, Eimear McBride, Éilís ní Dhuibhne, Melatu Uche Okorie, and Soula Emmanuel Examines the form, narration, and content of fictional, non-fictional, and national narratives Develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology Synthesizes historical, sociojuridical, feminist, post-colonial, and literary historical narratives of Irish development Jane Elizabeth Dougherty is Professor in the School of Literature, Writing and Digital Humanities and affiliate faculty in the School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

fWotD Episode 2940: Ezra Pound Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 23 May 2025, is Ezra Pound.Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972) was an American poet and critic, a major figure in the early modernist poetry movement, and a collaborator in Fascist Italy and the Salò Republic during World War II. His works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and his 800-page epic poem The Cantos (c. 1917–1962).Pound's contribution to poetry began in the early 20th century with his role in developing Imagism, a movement stressing precision and economy of language. Working in London as foreign editor of several American literary magazines, he helped discover and shape the work of contemporaries such as H. D., Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and James Joyce. He was responsible for the 1914 serialization of Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, the 1915 publication of Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", and the serialization from 1918 of Joyce's Ulysses. Hemingway wrote in 1932 that, for poets born in the late 19th or early 20th century, not to be influenced by Pound would be "like passing through a great blizzard and not feeling its cold".Angered by the carnage of World War I, Pound blamed the war on finance capitalism, which he called "usury". He moved to Italy in 1924 and through the 1930s and 1940s promoted an economic theory known as social credit, wrote for publications owned by the British fascist Sir Oswald Mosley, embraced Benito Mussolini's fascism, and expressed support for Adolf Hitler. During World War II, Pound recorded hundreds of paid radio propaganda broadcasts for the fascist Italian government and its later incarnation as a German puppet state, in which he attacked the United States federal government, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Great Britain, international finance, munitions makers, arms dealers, Jews, and others, as abettors and prolongers of the war. He also praised both eugenics and the Holocaust in Italy, while urging American GIs to throw down their rifles and surrender. In 1945, Pound was captured by the Italian Resistance and handed over to the U. S. Army's Counterintelligence Corps, who held him pending extradition and prosecution based on an indictment for treason. He spent months in a U. S. military detention camp near Pisa, including three weeks in an outdoor steel cage. Ruled mentally unfit to stand trial, Pound was incarcerated for over 12 years at St. Elizabeths psychiatric hospital in Washington, D. C., whose doctors viewed Pound as a narcissist and a psychopath, but otherwise completely sane.While in custody in Italy, Pound began work on sections of The Cantos, which were published as The Pisan Cantos (1948), for which he was awarded the Bollingen Prize for Poetry in 1949 by the Library of Congress, causing enormous controversy. After a campaign by his fellow writers, he was released from St. Elizabeth's in 1958 and returned to Italy, where he posed for the press giving the Fascist salute and called the United States "an insane asylum". Pound remained in Italy until his death in 1972. His economic and political views have ensured that his life and literary legacy remain highly controversial.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Friday, 23 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Ezra Pound on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Salli.

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our sixty-seventh episode, we examine the second half of James Joyce's 800-page inscruitable Modernist Masterpiece, Ulysses. Here we recap the 'Nausicaa' chapter, which got the book banned in the first place, and speculate on if such an achievement in literature angered the gods.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: 'The Rocky Road to Dublin'.

Achoo! We're falling in love with the one and only Faith Prince. You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP!  Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero.  Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously “realistic” production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell in the short-lived High Society.   This one was a HOOT.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Evergreen topics for Anne and Damian: Tyne Daly in Gypsy, Grease, Spice Girls track listings, we look like cats in Heathcliff, the cast of Mannequin 2 aka is it Jonathan Silverman, no it's William Ragsdale in Herman's Head, Sex and the City/AJLT Cynthia Nixon's kitchen tour Tom and Lorenzo and their SJP adventure Plays Valentina in Boop on Broadway We love Dancer/Choreographer Rachelle Rak Coughing as Adelaide was tougher than talking and singing in character voice Bob Saget used his stand-up to differentiate himself from Danny Tanner  Nathan & Adelaide are famously the SOUBRETTES in Guys & Dolls so Jerry Zaks put them forward instead of Sky and Sarah (this changed how future productions positioned the 2 couples)  Jerry Mitchell says it's important to pass the baton down to the next generation of musical theatre stars Arthur Laurents aka “the meanest man in show-business”, Jerry Gutierrez, Abe Burrows, Comden & Green, Sondheim, Barishnykov, Howard Ashman, Jack Plotnick, Tina Landau,  My Father the Hero w/ Gerard Depardieu “Dirty Books” from The Last Dragon / Suzanne de Passe and Berry Gordy produced the soundtrack.

Matt Crawford speaks with Andrew Holter about his book, Going Around: Selected Journalism Murray Kempton. A courtly man of Southern roots, Murray Kempton worked as a labor reporter for the New York Post, won a Pulitzer Prize while at Newsday, and was arrested at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago along the way. He wore three piece suits and polished oxfords and was known for riding his bicycle around New York City while listening to his CD Walkman and smoking a pipe with wild red hair that later turned white. He developed a taste for baroque prose and became, in the words of Robert Silvers, his editor at The New York Review of Books, ''unmatched in his moral insight into the hypocrisies of politics and their consequences for the poor and powerless.'' He went to court proceedings and traffic accidents and funerals and to speeches by people who either were or wanted to be rich and famous. He wrote about everything and anybody—Tonya Harding and Warren Harding, Fidel Castro and Mussolini, Harry Truman and Sal Maglie, St. Francis of Assisi and James Joyce and J. Edgar Hoover. From dispatches from a hardscrabble coal town in Western Maryland, a bus carrying Freedom Riders through Mississippi, an Iowa cornfield with Nikita Krushchev, an encampment of guerrillas in El Salvador, and Moscow at the end of the Soviet Union (these last two assignments filed by a reporter in his 70s), Kempton's concerns and interests were extraordinarily broad. He wrote about subjects from H.L. Mencken to Tupac Shakur; organized labor and McCarthyism; the Civil Rights and Black Power movements; presidential hopefuls and Mafiosi; frauds and failures of all stripes; the “splendors and miseries” of life in New York City.

In our sixty-seventh episode, we examine the first half of James Joyce's 800-page inscruitable Modernist Masterpiece, Ulysses.

Suzanne Vega usually heads straight to the compost heap for song ideas. "I have a compost heap of at least 50 notebooks dating back many years, and I pull from those notebooks when writing a new album," Vega says. She starts the process with a theme in mind then heads straight to that pile of notebooks to look for ideas to fit the theme. Some of her songs take years to emerge: "Lucinda" started as an idea more than 25 years ago. It's a pretty rich compost heap that can produce "Tom's Diner" and "Luka." Vega wrote "Tom's Diner" on a walk after leaving the diner, further proof of how movement improves the creative process. She's also a voracious reader and cites James Joyce as a big influence.Suzanne Vega's latest album is Flying With Angels on Cooking Vinyl Records.

The draft curriculum released earlier this month comes with a list of suggested texts including Arthur Miller's the Crucible, Edgar Allan Poe's the raven,1984 by George Orwell and Dubliners by James Joyce. The draft document makes no mention of Te Mataiaho a learning frame work grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Northcote College head of English David Taylor spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of Spirit Box, I sit down with Gabriel Kennedy to discuss his new book, Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson. We explore Wilson's life, influences, and enduring ideas, with a particular focus on his concept of Chapel Perilous—an initiatory state of uncertainty, where perception is destabilized, and transformation is possible.Our conversation takes us through Wilson's time in Ireland, his engagement with esoteric and mystical traditions, and the deep imprint of Irish history and culture on his work. We also examine the broader themes of language loss, intergenerational trauma, and how these forces shape identity and collective memory. Gabriel shares the extensive research that went into writing his book, including interviews with nearly 75 people, and how Wilson's ideas remain relevant in today's world of uncertainty and paradigm shifts.In the Plus show, we go deeper into Robert Anton Wilson's time in Ireland and the profound themes he explored in The Widow's Son. Gabriel and I discuss how Wilson's time in Ireland, following personal tragedies, shaped his later works and connected him to the country's cultural and historical complexities. Through the novel's protagonist, Wilson examines intergenerational trauma, Irish identity, and the lingering scars of colonial history—ideas that remain deeply relevant today.We also explore the lasting impact of language loss in Ireland, tracing its roots to the famine and the cultural suppression that followed. Drawing on Translations by Brian Friel, we discuss how language shapes perception and identity, and how its revival is an act of cultural reclamation. This ties into a broader conversation on intergenerational trauma, the epigenetic effects of famine and stress, and the ongoing resurgence of ancestral practices like stone lifting and the Irish language.The conversation weaves together mysticism, history, and deep cultural memory—tracing how the echoes of the past still shape the present.Show Notes:Book website Robert Anton Wilson Biography - Explore the Life of a Visionary AuthorProp's Substack | Gabriel Kennedy aka Prop Anon | SubstackAbout – Gabriel Kennedy – MediumChapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson – Gabriel Kennedy's biography of RAW.Cosmic Trigger: Volume One – Wilson's exploration of Chapel Perilous and his experiences with synchronicity, psychedelics, and the occult.The Widow's Son – A novel exploring Irish history, identity, and intergenerational trauma.Prometheus Rising – A deep dive into consciousness, psychology, and personal reality tunnels.The Illuminatus!

Despite her hopes that Ben would, like her, have a high school infatuation with Thoreau, he explains that his interest began much later. Even if you don't know anything about Thoreau, if you're a walker or a hiker, you have experienced the unique meditative impact of this activity and can appreciate Ben's insights on it. Ben also has a book of fiction out titled The History of Sound that is a finalist for the Pen/Faulkner prize so we are just really thrilled to have him with us today.  And this week, for our recommendations section, we didn't just pick a random topic like asparagus or comas to share books about—we actually continue with the theme of walking.

Exploring twentieth- and twenty-first century texts that wrestle with the Irish domestic interior as a sexualized and commodified space, Body Politics in Contemporary Irish Women's Fiction: The Literary Legacy of 'Mother Ireland' (Bloomsbury, 2025) provides readings of the power and authority of the feminized body in Ireland. Scheible dissects the ways that 'the woman-as-symbol' remains consistent in Irish literary representations of national experience in Irish fiction and shows how this problematizes the role of women in Ireland by underscoring the oppression of sexuality and gender that characterized Irish culture during the twentieth century. Examining works by Elizabeth Bowen, Pamela Hinkson, Emma Donoghue, Tana French, Sally Rooney and James Joyce, this book demonstrates that the definition of Irish nationhood in our contemporary experience of capitalism and biopolitics is dependent on the intertwining and paradoxical tropes of a traditional, yet equally sexual, feminine identity which has been quelled by violence and reproduction.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 11, 2025 is: quark • KWORK • noun Quark is a word used in physics to refer to any one of several types of very small particles that make up matter. // Quarks, which combine together to form protons and neutrons, come in six types, or flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. See the entry > Examples: “One quantum field is special because its default value can change. Called the Higgs field, it controls the mass of many fundamental particles, like electrons and quarks. Unlike every other quantum field physicists have discovered, the Higgs field has a default value above zero. Dialing the Higgs field value up or down would increase or decrease the mass of electrons and other particles. If the setting of the Higgs field were zero, those particles would be massless.” — Matt Von Hippel, Wired, 19 Aug. 2024 Did you know? If you were a physics major, chances are that James Joyce didn't make it onto your syllabus. While literature majors are likely more familiar with his work, Joyce has a surprising tie to physics. In the early 1960s, American physicist Murray Gell-Man came up with the word quork, which he used to refer to his concept of an elementary particle smaller than a proton or neutron (by his own account he was in the habit of using names like “squeak” and “squork” for peculiar objects). He later settled on the spelling quark after reading a line from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake: “Three quarks for Muster Mark! / Sure he has not got much of a bark / And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.” The name stuck and has been used by physicists ever since.
