Using Michel Foucault's historical analysis of Western sexuality as its theoretical underpinning, the book foregrounds the role of the Jesuit order in the spread of a confessional force, and finds this influence inscribed into Joyce's major texts. Wolfgang Streit goes on to argue that the tension between the texts' erotic passages and Joyce's criticism of even his own sexual writing energizes Joyce's narratives-and enables Joyce to develop the radical skepticism of power revealed in his work.\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Streit is Lecturer, Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Streit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472110004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472110001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.14w x 0.86d","brand":"Wolfgang Streit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086703702271,"sku":"9780472110001","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0030e5b-98aa-4d19-886b-dee68b13db83.jpg?v=1769096091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joycefoucault-wolfgang-streit-9780472110001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
