In this chapter I shall examine some of James Joyce's narrative strategies and poetics as means to recreate social agents in the synchronic moment of aesthetic experience of an art text. I will use Mikhail Bakhtin's theorisation of heteroglossia and monoglossia in defining and analysing the process of recreation of social agents through synchronic aesthetic experience. In order to show how such recreation is related to social change, I will use the theory of social myth developed by Georges Sorel.
