Taking Joyce&#8217;s portmanteau, &#8220;passencore,&#8221; as my starting point, I explore the traces of its too soon\/too late logic as it repeats at crucial moments throughout the novel. Joyce&#8217;s disdain of psychoanalysis has been well-documented; however, it is also true that he was reading and taking fastidious notes on the &#8220;Wolf Man&#8221; after its publication by the Hogarth Press in 1925. This is the case-history that most thoroughly explores <em>Nachtr\u00e4glichkeit<\/em> (known in English as deferred action and in French as <em>apr\u00e8s-coup<\/em>) and its relation to a primal scene grounded in the oedipal drama.\u00a0While scholars have typically attributed the importance of the &#8220;Wolf Man&#8221; to the composition of Chapter IV of Book III of the <em>Wake<\/em>, in which the children voyeuristically observe their parents in the sexual act, I suggest a different locus for the primal scene and the repetition compulsion it induces. Following the traces of the text\u2019s passencore logic, I explore how in the\u00a0<em>Wake<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Nachtr\u00e4glichkeit<\/em>\u00a0is explicitly linked to Ireland&#8217;s colonial status and to Joyce\u2019s early diagnosis of belatedness as a cultural pathology of the Irish under colonial conditions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact us at info@joycefoundation.ch if you\u2019d like to join the event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Zurich James Joyce Foundation Online Lecture Series is kindly supported by the Embassy of Ireland, Switzerland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1995\" style=\"width:282px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited.jpg 394w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Logo-Embassy-edited-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce that Nell Wasserstrom (University of Lausanne) will be the third speaker in our new Online Lecture Series.
