The Veil of Signs
How does perception operate in James Joyce's fiction? This question is addressed from a unique perspective in "The Veil of Signs." Sheldon Brivic uses the theories of Jacque Lacan to create a radically new concept of the mechanics of mental life in the novels, including "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake."

These elements also enable log users to make decisions based on cal...

It shows him as an innovator, theorist, methodologist, “missionary,” critic, and scientist, but he remains, withal, in his fashion, a humanist. He believes that institutions and processes—particularly law, politics, and scholarship—are best understood in human terms. With Holmes, he believes that law is a prediction of what courts will do; hence, to understand law it is necessary to understand judicial behavior. A full explanation of a judge’s behavior would take into account his health (both physical and mental), his personality, his culture and society, and his ideology. G...
