Throughout her essay, Mullins seems quite concerned with distinguishing the goal of these little magazines that published Joyce, and she argues that “Joyce’s central presence in the The Egoist unsettled its contested attempts to transform itself from an organ of sexual radicalism into a forum for literary experiment” (Mullins 380). Her focus on the magazine’s goals and attempts to separate high and low culture–and what is high and low culture–was particularly interesting to me. Joyce’s work resists easy categorization, and Mullins notes that his work both “nuances, or even disrupts, what is often assumed to be the cultural politics of high modernism” (375) and “repeatedly destabilizes any implied opposition between elite and mass cultures” (375). Thus, during our library session, I’m very interested in examining the other content that surrounds Joyce’s work in these magazines, in order to gain a better understanding of what constitutes “high” and “low” culture, thereby gaining a better understanding of how Joyce’s work contextually combines these seemingly disparate elements.
