Abstract

As a city represented with the utmost care, Joyce’s Dublin has been a preoccupation of critics of all persuasions: geographical-cartographical, psychoanalytic, post-structural, and post-colonial. This essay addresses that neglect of the underlying cityscape and proposes a reading of Dublin in ‘Wandering Rocks’, in which the simultaneity of events spreads out spatially in the city. It proposes that Ulysses challenges the wholeness of time and place as conventionally constructed concepts, and Dublin is presented not as a community but rather as a collection of people and places on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) monitors.
