Commissioned for the FW75 hubbub ANARCHISM, GEOGRAPHY, AND LOVE Gerry kearns, Maynooth University The challenge of cosmopolitanism remains: What would it mean to be an Irish citizen of the world? In 1907, for a talk to an adult education class in Trieste, James Joyce chose the title, Ireland, island of saints and scholars. He spoke about the Irish national ego in all its excusable delusion. Joyce understood that English colonialism had twisted Irish understandings of their own place and purpose, but he worried about a celebration, in reaction, of either purity or piety. The problem of purity was both universal – What race, or what language […] can boast of being pure today? – and local – to deny the name of patriot to all those who are not of Irish stock would be to deny it to almost all the heroes of the modern movement. As for piety, he ejaculated: I confess I do not see what good it does to fulminate against the English tyranny while the Roman tyranny occupies the place of the soul. The first sketches that were later incorporated into Finnegans Wake were new tales of some legendary Irish figures, but the nightscape of the novel as it developed became as much geographical as historical. Among the books from which Joyce spun his yarn, was a work of historical geography by a Russian anarchist, Lev Il’ich Mechnikov [a.k.a. Leo or Léon Metchnikoff]. 9
