Bloom as Flâneur | Ulysses as an encyclopedic... →
In Joyce’s Ulysses we follow the peripatetic Leopold Bloom, our mostordinary hero, as he walks though the streets of Dublin in 1904. It is in Ulysses, through Bloom and his unstructured perambulations, that the reader is brought to experience a domestic psycho-geography of Dublin.

the city
I live in the little village of the present But lately I forget my neighbors’ names. More and more I spend my days in the City:

When I was young, I lived in a different village. We had parades: the circus, the nearby fort. And Rabbi Gewirtz invented a...

son tantas palabras, tanta música, tantísimas imágenes, que nueva york parecería ser un eterno evocar de screen shots en blanco y negro o tecnicolor, de adolescentes ensimismados,...
