We Can’t Change the World, but We Can Change the Subject. James Joyce’s Ulysses and Finnegans Wake on the Polish Stage

Summary/Abstract: This article examines how theatrical adaptations of James Joyce’s novels, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, during the 1970s became integral to the avant-garde movement in Poland. Other adaptations would evolve in the post-transition period from the 1990s to the present day, which not only explored the themes presented in Joyce’s works but also hinted at the universality of personal crises, national grievances, and the yearning for a sense of home and homeland.
