what was the conclusion of the author in journey
Answers
Answer:
Conclusion: “The Journey Does Not End. It’s a Life Time Journey”: Bodies Over Borders and Borders Over Bodies.The beginning of this project took form back in 2007, when I was enrolled in Professor Michael Levenson’s postgraduate module on “Ulysses and Modernism” during my studies in the University of Virginia for my Master’s degree. The module took us through all the chapters of Ulysses alongside other texts and theories of modernism, and through such parallel readings we spent more than a dozen weeks discussing different modernist expressions of art and languages. What caught my attention in particular were the expressions of the environment, such as trees, landscape, herds, gardens, garbage, etc., in these modernist writings, especially in Ulysses. As a gesture toward solving my inquiries, by the end of the term I wrote a twenty-page paper to address the question of the environment in Ulysses. Unbeknown to me, instead of answering the questions I had in mind, the research I conducted for that particular essay introduced even more questions which I couldn’t find satisfactory answers for at the time. Thus began my journey of taking on the challenge of delving deeper into understanding the (eco)politics of Joyce’s writing of nature and environment in Ulysses.

Initiated at the time when ecocriticism was still considered mainly irrelevant to modernism or Joyce studies, let alone Ulysses with its urban setting, this...
