Abstract: This article explores the literary and aesthetic significance of James Joyce’s work within the framework of Western modernism at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Modernism is examined as a non-classical aesthetic paradigm that emerged in opposition to rationality, normativity, and mimetic representation characteristic of classical literature. The study focuses on the fundamental principles of modernist poetics—stream of consciousness, fragmentation of time and space, linguistic experimentation, intertextuality, and the crisis of the inner self—as exemplified in Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The analysis demonstrates that Joyce transforms language into a central meaning-producing element of the text and constructs a complex artistic model of modern consciousness. The article concludes that Ulysses represents a culminating achievement of modernist aesthetics and occupies a canonical position in twentieth-century world literature.
Key words: Modernism, stream of consciousness, modernist poetics, linguistic experimentation, intertextuality, inner self, narrative fragmentation, aesthetic paradigm, non-linear temporality, crisis of the self, literary modernity, interior monologue, narrative discourse.
