Abstract
This paper argues that Joseph Strick's film adaptations of James Joyce's
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses address a central
issue within Joyce's oeuvre : the relation between aesthetics and the
fabrication of identity. Joyce pits aesthetic discourses of 19th century
realism and 20th century modernism against one another and reveals that
language can construct identity only through and as fabrication. Strick
translates this tension into the visual system of his films, juxtaposing
images of documentary realism and avant garde subjectivity to suggest the fabricated and unstable nature of the visual image.
