I found that writing \"Stephen's Mothers in \u003cem\u003eUlysses\" \u003c\/em\u003ecrystallized my sense that \u003cem\u003eamor matris, \u003c\/em\u003eto use Stephen Dedalus's phrase, the ambiguous \"mother love\" (a mother's love for her son or a son's love for his mother or both at once), was a way into many of the mysterious, unfathomed, even unfathomable passages in \u003cem\u003eUlysses.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I continued my training, while simultaneously teaching English literature at San Francisco State, I became more and more aware that the way I enjoyed teaching--the close, systematic textual analysis of literature, \u003cem\u003eexplication de texte--\u003c\/em\u003ewas dovetailing with the ways I was learning to listen to, and to muse about, my patients.

I was trying to pay the closest attention to the repeated thoughts, feelings, images, and associations that make human beings unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42128635068551,"sku":"9780998083377","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/78fb764ff8ca5eeb030e9cb7da4854b4.webp?v=1732597055","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/tyrants-of-the-heart-a-psychoanalytic-study-of-mothers-and-maternal-images-in-james-joyce-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
