the ineluctable modalities of ulysses

The Nacheinander and Nebeneinander of Ulysses: the stream of consciousness is the Nacheinander: thoughts one after another in time. The juxtaposition of styles and chapters is the Nebeneinander: styles, modes, moods, times of day against/alongside/side by side/juxtaposed one against the other. Is Stephen intuiting the form of Ulysses in “Proteus”? Do Joyce’s styles in Ulysses add the Nebeneinander of visual art to the Nacheinander of reading fiction?


nach: after
neben: next
einander: one another
