Kommentar/Beschreibung

In this seminar we will study a monument of literary modernism in the English language, James Joyce's trailblazing novel Ulysses. Since its publication in 1922, this text has kept scholars occupied, readers fascinated, and students sometimes terrified. Ostensibly modelled after Homer's Odyssey, compressing the Greek hero's 10 years of travel around the Mediterranean into a single day in Dublin, it is not primarily the chain of narrated events that continues to engage and fascinate readers. Rather, it is Joyce's use of language, his daring experimental approach to representing consciousness and interiority, his treatment of Dublin as a fictional-factual location, and his almost encyclopaedic range of included information that still draws readers to Ulysses.
We will examine the novel chapter by chapter and try to develop reading and research strategies that will allow us to appreciate Joyce's achievement and the novel's position in the literary canon.

For a first step of preparation, for making up their minds about the task at hand, and for getting an idea about the fun and challenges that await readers of Ulysses, students are advised to read Dirk Vanderbeke's article on Ulysses from the Handbook of the English Novel of the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries (uploaded to the course area on studip: https://studip.uni-halle.de/sendfile.php?force_download=1&type=0&file_id=28086dccb2c8ff20c0fc368af2368543&file_name=Dirk+Vanderbeke+-+Ulysses+%28Handbook+of+the+English+Novel+of+the+20th+and+21st+Centuries%29.pdf) before coming to our first seminar session.
