I'm researching cycles of awe and the psychology of awe. I'm still deciding exactly which stories I will look at, which avenue I'll take, etc. I do know I want to look into James Joyce's idea of epiphany, possibly Alice and Wonderland, and psychoanalysis/psychology. Here's what I've found so far.
- The James Joyce Center. I found this website by searching #jamesjoyce on Twitter. This organization has reading groups, a blog, and a curated list of useful links to other resources concerning James Joyce and his works. This will help me find niche communities talking about the epiphany concept in Joyce's Dubliners, as well as bring me to other websites dedicated to facts about him and calls for papers.
- The International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures. I found this website by following several links from an initial site I found by Google searching "James Joyce call for papers." It has an entire list of call for papers that could be potential sources to submit final paper. It also has a section for research related to Irish studies that can lead to more communities talking about Joyce works.
- James Joyce Quarterly Blog. After searching "James Joyce call for papers" on Google, I also found this blog that has plenty of updates on upcoming Joyce-related activities and CFP. Again, this will help me enter the discussion of Joyce works and his idea of the epiphany.
- The Evolution of Wonderland. This website is dedicated to interpretations of the book Alice in Wonderland. It includes a post about psychoanalysis of Alice and her adventures in Wonderland. This will help me think in terms of psychology of awe, which I want to explore in my final paper. I found this website by searching "psychoanalysis Freud" in Google.
- Association for Psychological Science. I searched "awe in psychology" in Google+ and found several people linking articles from this association. The article that the link provided goes to talks about awe and psychology. This will be helpful in my research on the psychology related to awe, why there are cycles of awe, and why we return to these moments. It will help me find articles and journals by people who know more about psychology than I do.
