Abstract:
Postmodernism is one of the recent terms that were generated during the recent stage of human civilization. It expresses a socio-historical condition and the change in people's perception of the world that influenced by great and rapid growth of all kinds of media technologies ( Television, Video, personal computers, Internet ). And other variables like culture, information, revolution, consumerism, globalization, and postindustrial service economy. Such development contributes in eliminating all boarders between nations. So, world has been as a ground for a multipolar competition that conventionally mean victory and hegemony are for the strongest. In such environment western civilization has all elements of discrimination that manage it to achieve the hegemony over the entire world. In this context postmodern theory tries to realize horizons of human values in top it development in all human sciences. Historians- for example- try to understand human experience as multiple aspects of time in their lives. Literature does not separate from that context. ( Winders, 1993 ). Postmodernism in literature is one of the recent waves of development of accumulation in human experience. Postmodernists played an important role in supporting such direction. One of the most prominent postmodernist writers is James Joyce who is considered as a pioneer postmodernist. Hence this thesis will study The Postmodernist Perspective in James Joyce's Narrative Art.
