Abstract

The article starts from an interpretation of the famous review of James Joyce’s Ulysses by Carl Gustav Jung called “Ulysses: A Monologue”. It focuses mainly on the comparison of the semiological assumptions of the two authors. Although both are aware of the principle of openness and fluidity of the text, it is evident, that their hypotheses, submitted to justify this view, do not have the same efficiency. The article can be also read as an attempt to articulate the so called „serial method“, i. e. the Deleuzian critique of the concept of representation from the Logic of Sense. From this point of view, the article could be considered a contribution to the poststructuralist discussion of the concept of sense.
