When is a man not a man?

when he's ajar!

When he is a manchild

When he shit posts on an anime imageboard frequented by shut-ins and autists

when he is a leftist cuck

when he seeks pleasure

Looking at pictures of Joyce feels so uncanny. That's the motherfucker who wrote Ulysses?

What went on in his fucking head? I don't even mean to be cringey, but I don't feel this when i look at pictures of any other writer. Ulysses is so intimate, so upfront about sexual desires, trivial thoughts, pooping, eating, etc., that it paradoxically DISTANCES you from the man who wrote it. Joyce himself, while trying to create Bloom and then HCE as archetypical Everymen, became himself both Everyman and a world-historical genius. One knows so much about him that is "base" and "vulgar" (cue letters to Norah), but also gets the sense that he thought about Shakespeare and Mozart and Fichte while taking a shit. And for all this, can we ever truly know him? How alone he must have been, being such a genius, and yet how connected to other people, how compassionate to have written some of the stuff he writes in Ulysses!!!

Nah i'm just kidding, fuck this guy, Ulysses is the most boring book I've read in my life

I laughed audibly.

good thread op unfortunately there are many SHAMs ITT

When he has willingly rejected the mantle of manhood in favor of subjugating himself to women and children

When he mutilates his genitals and calls himself "xir".

When he's black

When hes a woman

when he is part man and part machine, but still all cop?

I'm too oldfag for this shit...

When he's ajar

All Lowely Plebs

Hark! Cultured Erudite

Elaborate OP(fag) I really don't get it.

What makes you madder, knowing you'll never be so aesthetic in your work or in your life? Joyce lived the literary lifestyle to levels only someone who thinks about Shakespeare while fucking out long windy ones out of Nora can understand, you fucking philistine.

Joyce shows what a world we could live in if everyone had patrician jesuit education, you only go to show how wrong it was to let protestants live.

>create some pretentious nonsense memery
>unwashed plebs praise it in futile attempts to imitate having actual taste and being deep

>every postmodern work ever

>Joyce
>postmodern

don't you have some enlightened Jordan Peterson thread to go deny your past-fedora beliefs caused by absolute STEM-faggotry?

the last stronghold of true bantz u guise...it renews me......thanks....

>exposing all your crippling insecurities in one post

Joyce is proto-postmodernist in every respect.
>buzzwords and STEM hate
Did you not get enough tips today?

A man cannot be not a man. If it is not a man, then it is not a man.

proto-postmodernism is called modernism.

And I have a state job my dude, not only can I shitpost with taxpayer funds, I can also grant space to every fucking SJW bullshit performance I want to, which I do not because I'm a SJW, but to spite the mental /pol/lack in my mind.

dictited to of all his little brothron and sweestureens the first riddle of the universe:
asking, when is a man not a man?: telling them take their time,
yungfries, and wait till the tide stops (for from the first his day
was a fortnight) and offering the prize of a bittersweet crab, a
little present from the past, for their copper age was yet un-
minted, to the winner. One said when the heavens are quakers,
a second said when Bohemeand lips, a third said when he, no,
when hold hard a jiffy, when he is a gnawstick and detarmined
to, the next one said when the angel of death kicks the bucket
of life, still another said when the wine's at witsends, and still
another when lovely wooman stoops to conk him, one of the
littliest said me, me, Sem, when pappa papared the harbour, one
of the wittiest said, when he yeat ye abblokooken and he zmear
hezelf zo zhooken, still one said when you are old I'm grey fall
full wi sleep, and still another when wee deader walkner, and
another when he is just only after having being semisized, an-
other when yea, he hath no mananas, and one when dose pigs
they begin now that they will flies up intil the looft. All were
wrong, so Shem himself, the doctator, took the cake, the correct
solution being — all give it up? — when he is a — yours till
the rending of the rocks, — Sham.

-FW p170

sometimes I see this board from the perspective of an outsider and I can't fail to believe that some part of it must endure.

>must
spooky

kys

so the answer is when he is yours forever? that's sweet

Based

where are you reading that? The obvious answer, at least, is when he is a — sham

'yours till the rending of the rocks' I suppose, but I read that as shem offering more time to solve the riddle

When he is a rooster with its feathers plucked out.

WHAT IS A MAN?

When he 'used' to be a woman.

Never, every single man alters the definition of man by their actions
:^)

When he realize his penis is short.

Man is not a man, he is but a Dasein crawling through the spaciality of itself and wondering of the encounter it may interpret. It is but a care in the world it has fallen and the flux of time is its own question of identity and non-identity.

When he's a fucking corpse.

kek

When he is unironically opposed to Donald Trump

>proto-postmodernism is called modernism
>tfw he doesn't understand precise categorical definitions with his puny plebeian mind

When he defends "alternative facts"

When he dies.

When he's a nu-male.

When he is a miserable little pile of well-known facts

When he has a pussy between his legs

where does Ms Dalloway sit in that timeline?
