Ulysse de Joyce : l'imprésentable

Joyce's Ulysses. "Ulysses" is a nodal work that confronts the reader with new concepts of space and time and incites him to examine the perpetual off-centering of fields of meaning in both modern and post-modern societies. The use of as many different types of narrative as possible, the constant displacement of enunciative postures and Bloom's transgressive subjectivity join together to give the work a resolutely anti-romantic and ironic tone. The poetics of self-reflexivity are founded on a parodic vision of society. Modernism or postmodernism ? "Ulysses" raises language to heights that provoke the devaluation of accepted codes.Peterson Michel. Ulysse de Joyce : l'imprésentable. In: Littérature, n°77, 1990. Situation de la fiction. pp. 23-40
