Joyce...Bruno...Ulysses

Abstract:Giordano Bruno has been a philosopher traditionally connected to James Joyce. Nevertheless, Bruno’s influence has been associated to Joyce’s last and enigmatic work, Finnegans Wake. Apart from this general consideration, this paper tries to prove that Joyce’s youth readings on Giordano Bruno were a serious infuence on his most famous work Ulysses. Although it might be true that Joyce did not read Bruno as a primary source –he, indeed wrote a review on a book on the Italian thinker, we can conclude that Bruno was an important source on Joyce before he even conceived writing Finnegans Wake.Key words: James Joyce, Giordano Bruno, Literature and Philosophy, Ulysses, “all in all” theory.Resumen:Giordano Bruno ha sido un filósofo que se suele relacionar con la obra de James Joyce. Sin embargo, la influencia de Bruno se suele asociar con la última y enigmática obra del irlandés, Finnegans Wake. Amén de esta consideración general, este artículo intenta demostrar que las lecturas juveniles de Joyce fueron una influencia seria en su obra más conocida, Ulises. Si bien puede ser cierto que no leyó a Bruno en el original, publicó una reseña sobre el pensador italiano y podemos concluir que Bruno fue una fuente importante en Joyce antes de que ni siquiera concibiera la escritura de Finnegans Wake.Palabras clave: James Joyce, Giordano Bruno, Literatura y filosofía, Ulises, teoría de “todo está en todo”
