The Narrative of Joyce's Ulysses: Modemist Mainstream, Postmodernist Source
Sonja Bašić
Abstract
Joyce's work, and Ulysses in particular, is seen as the paradigmatic modernist battlefield, in which representability and non-representability, transparency and opacity, récit and discours are pitted against each other. In the specific field of Joyce's narrative discourse in Ulysses formalist-structuralist narratology" is seen as an invaluable approach to the modes of transmission and mediation prevailing in the chapters up to “Sirens". Beginmng with “Sirens”,
however, another type of narrative discourse begins to prevail, in the analysis of which narratology can be and has been misapplied in the attempt to naturalize and personalize the narrative “voices”. This second narrative-stylistic complex, as it has been called in this paper, requires other complementaxy methods better attuned to the parodic mediation prevailing in it, stemming from the critic's awareness of its
non-representational, writerly aspect.
