本論文試圖以佛洛依德心理分析理論，申述喬伊斯〈瑟喜〉敘事中相互混雜的心理及歷史圖像。
首章以〈瑟喜〉中之死靈為主題，分析不斷魅迴的幕幕“墟境”，並且探討在〈瑟喜〉各幕之間所觸發的詭異 “the Uncanny” 及奇想 “the Phantasy”情境。對筆者而言，這些墟境乃是喬氏為其書中主角及文本之潛意識所擬寫的符碼，旨在表達、否認、嘲諷、誇張、甚至暴露書中兩位男性角色的心靈自我—特別布魯姆的閹割焦慮表現上。這樣的敘事方式，將敘事及角色導向遁逸的胡同中。藉此喬氏不但公然反抗戲劇和小說等正統文類之單一傳統，同時也在〈瑟喜〉中批駁英國直線式敘事傳統。透過夢魘般愛爾蘭墟境建構的鏡像曲射，喬氏不但是享譽國際的大文豪，更是位道地的愛爾蘭作家。

This thesis attempts to read “Circe”from Freudian perspectives to explore Joyce's narrative intermingling of psychical and historical worlds. It begins with an analysis of the haunting theme in this chapter,the dead, which constantly returns in“fantastic scenes,” followed by an elaboration on the way the “Uncanny”and the“Phantasy”operate in each scene. These fantastic scenes,for me,function as signifiers for the unconscious of Joyce's characters and text:they express,abnegate, ridicule,exaggerate,and even betray the psyche of the two male protagonists—especially Bloom's castration complex—and leads to a narrative and character aberration,allowing Joyce to repudiate the tradition of drama and novel, especially the English narrative convention of linear storytelling. By constructing a fantastic Ireland through crooked mirroring,Joyce becomes not only an international writer, but also an Irish writer.
