Abstract

This article considers how James Joyce's shifting literary forms — from the initial style of Ulysses to its more experimental registers — respond to Dublin's infrastructures. Joyce's interplay of literary techniques with infrastructural technologies reframes the material politics of the city, highlighting the differences between a nation imagined through discourse and one mediated materially by means of infrastructure.
