From the Cosmogonic Discourse to Sacred Secularism in Joyce's Imagined Community
The chapter explores Joyce's texts and analyzes the subjects of cosmogonic discourse and sacred secularism in his community. Joyce's texts, with the help of their reflection of modernist obsession with fragmentation of space, depict not only artificial binarisms inbuilt in colonial as well as religious hegemony but also as an attempt for reclaiming national identity in colonial Ireland as modern forms of a cosmogonic drive.
Keywords: James Joyce, cosmogonic discourse, sacred secularism, artificial binarisms, religious hegemony, colonial Ireland
