The use of woodblock printing spread throughout Asia, and the idea of printing perhaps spread to Europe, where German publisher and inventor Johannes Gutenberg improved on the design with the introduction of the mechanical press in the mid-15th century. A specific type of printing called mechanical woodblock printing on paper started in China during the Tang dynasty before the 8th century CE. Printing is considered one of the Four Great Inventions of China that spread throughout the world.

Printing in East Asia originated from the Han dynasty (220 BCE – 206 CE) in China, evolving from ink rubbings made on paper or cloth from texts on stone tables used during the Han.

By juxtaposing the two episodes and their immediate contexts, Chalas’s championing of the project of a sustainable world peace effected by the protection of a minority language (which Joyce was taught by members of émigré communities in Trieste and Zurich), and Ogden’s campaign of world unity through standardisation of English as lingua franca for the majority, the essay will draw out the contradictory visions of the world and word for which Joyce’s views on language can be enlisted.Literary collection of Han Yu, printed late 13th century by Liao Yingzhong This essay considers this communitarian vision in the light of two contrasted episodes in Joyce’s long involvement with world languages that bookmark the project of the Wake: his enthusiasm for Zurich-based Antonio Chalas’s 1919 pamphlet on the mystical foundations of the Greek alphabet dedicated to President Wilson (which Joyce recommended to his US publisher), and his agreement to a rendition of ‘Anna Livia Plurabelle’ into Basic English by C. Forged by associations with foreign nationals in diasporic communities, and fuelled by his political stance against imperialist wars, Joyce’s interest in minority languages was fundamental to his vision of a community of speakers of non-hegemonic languages in the world. Yet Joyce’s cosmopolitanism is not in direct opposition to the communitarianism he is usually seen to evade.

His kaleidoscopic idiom is one of the marvels of the modernist repertoire, an event in the history of novelistic form, as well as a testament to the fascination with artificial international languages in the interwar years. Joyce famously listed forty languages on the final page of the Finnegans Wake manuscript, having already picked an argument with the English tongue in his earlier work.

This volume examines a series of counter arguments to the conventional account of literary cybernetics in light of developments which have accompanied the encounter between critical theory and cultural studies, namely ‘hypertextuality’ and ‘posthumanism.’ In each instance, the continuing legacy of Joyce’s works is examined in detail.

From these two books have directly been drawn the name for the fundamental constituent of the nucleon (Murray Gell-Mann’s quark), a new model of cognition (Daniel Dennett’s Joycean machine), a radical cybernetic conception of language (Jacques Derrida’s Joyceware), a psycho-analytical paradigm (Jacques Lacan’s sinthome), & the foundations of post-War media theory (Marshall McLuhan’s Gutenberg Galaxy, originally called The Road to Finnegans Wake). It is an intriguing feature of cybernetics, cognitive science, psychoanalysis, critical theory & particle physics that at key moments in their recent evolution their major practitioners have turned to the work of one particular “experimentalist” writer, James Joyce, in whose key works - Ulysses & Finnegans Wake - they have sought an articulation of the emergent virtuo-real universe which since the mid-20th century we have increasingly come to inhabit.
