Home Is Where The Plump Mellow Yellow Smellow Mellons Of Her Rump Are: Georg Simmel's Sociology and the Idea of Home in Ulysses

Master thesis | Literary Studies (MA)

This thesis deals with the topical themes of home, homelessness, exile, and migration as explored in James Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922). The aim is to analyze the manner in which Joyce has presented the various perspectives on these notions, and to what extent these themes may be connected to the characters in the text, with an emphasis on the two male leading characters, Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus. The thesis takes an original approach by using as its framework the sociological theories of Georg Simmel (1858-1918), a contemporary of Joyce.
