CW5073 Ulysses, Modernism, Postmodernism, And Now
James Joyce’s _Ulysses_, cataloguing life in Dublin in 1904, is one of the great modernist novels, aligning artistic creativity with the opening of new political and social possibilities. Through slow attentive reading of Joyce’s novel, and extensive creative experiment taking Ulysses as a model, students will explore ways in which variations in literary style intensify relations to local spaces and global forces, and encode responses to the difficulties and opportunities of late capitalism.
