Sensuous Seafaring in James Joyce's Ulysses: The Sea and the Chaosmos

In this lecture, we'll examine the symbolic significance of the water and the sea in James Joyce's infamously challenging yet breathtaking modernist novel, "Ulysses". We will use these analyses to show how Joyce uses the particular/individual to tell a tale about the universal without idealizing. This figures into Joyce's general and implicit process philosophy, epitomized in the idea of the chaosmos. Enjoy!
