    Master Thesis
    Dublin as ancestral matrix: the rebirth of the Irish fetus into self-recognition in James Joyce’s “Eveline” and “the dead”
    (2006) Kızrak, Meral
    James Joyce’s Dubliners depicts the city of Dublin as a metaphor for the Irish soil. Though self-exiled, Joyce the Irish patriot introduces Dublin to be the ancestral matrix from which the Irish may be reborn to claim their Irish identity. The dilemma with Irishness, as Joyce explores, is that the Irish are in a state of denying their identity. Mistakenly apprehending Dublin as a city of decay, Dubliners are compelled to desert it. Their impetus to escape from Dublin and its psychological detention results in an inevitable loss of Irish identity. However, Dubliners are, shockingly and almost instinctively, dragged into Dublin, the ancestral matrix, where they undergo an embryonic state: they are nourished by the genuine Irish blood, and reborn as themselves, with the Irish identity from which they have sought escape. The protagonists of “Eveline” and “The Dead” are in a state of selfdenial, thus becoming invisible in Dublin, which causes them to quest for identity. From a psychoanalytic perspective, theirs is an instinctive drive to seek maternal safety and protection, a reason for their futile attempt to escape into a Platonic and idealized womblike cocoon. However, having done away with the anxiety resulting from impersonating an alien identity, they undergo “the oceanic feeling” of oneness with the ancestral womb. This regression into the form of the Irish fetus provides the characters with the pleasure of claiming their individuality and of becoming regenerated through an introspective self-realization. Therefore, in Dubliners, Joyce attempts to hold up a mirror to his compatriots to help them realistically visualize and appreciate their actual self, reflected on the “liquor amnii” of Dublin, the ancestral matrix.
