On Joycean Sense of Comedy and Its Global Orientation

James Joyce is the novelist who caused the cultural earthquake in the world. The world is shocked by his presence and proud for his achievement. For the world is polarized and divided, so some people worship him while some others are headache because of him. He combines both highbrow solemnness and lowbrow comic sense in his works. By digging into these internal conflicts, he produces a series of comedy. Though Joycean time is gone, but his everlasting works with the medium of comic sense will attract more people because comedy is born plebeian. And more people will see that Joyce picks up the global dimension before the age of global village.
