Abstract

This paper presents a short inventory of the influence of popular culture in the Works of James Joyce (1988-1941) and the mark that his literary output imprinted, later on, in the most diverse media. According to Jonathan Goldman, Joyce’s texts are full of references to popular entertainments. The critic also affirms that Joyce’s productions are the source for film adaptations, rock songs, operettas and graphic novels. To illustrate Goldman’s critical comments, we will examine In the name of the Grandfather (E20 T14), by The Simpsons, an episode that takes place in Ireland, has Joyce as one of the cast members and Blooms’ path, described in detail in the novel Ulysses, as a tourist route in the Irish capital.
