A Book of Many Uncertainties: Joyce's "Dubliners"
In Dubliners Joyce subverted both realist and symbolist strategies to the point of making them problematic, bringing this work into the modernist orbit. Joyce's subversiveness here is particularly difficult to catch because it does not "show"; it presents us with a text that seems to...

| description | In Dubliners Joyce subverted both realist and symbolist strategies to the point of making them problematic, bringing this work into the modernist orbit. Joyce's subversiveness here is particularly difficult to catch because it does not "show"; it presents us with a text that seems to be what it is not. Joyce's subversive narrative strategies, though they contribute to realism and symbolism, manipulate underhandedly such generic markers as character motivation, thematic unity, objectivity, focalization, free indirect style, and closure. Such subversiveness produces indeterminacy and opaqueness masked as transparency: it is an opaqueness of gaps and reticence, undercutting the recuperation of meaning. Joyce seems to be in agreement with Flaubert who said: "Oui, la bêtise consiste à vouloir conclure" ("Yes, stupidity is wanting to conclude"). |
