The "Wandering Rocks" chapter of Ulysses, like the whole of the novel, acknowledges the phenomenal nature of time on earth, in other words its fluent, neutral passage, but also presents it as a human property or rather as a humanized concept and phenomenon. Against or within the neutral, ordinary, undistinguished quality of time and human life/lifetime, through the applied narrative technique, the "game with time", the writer condenses "small'' pieces of time, these humanized moments, and impregnates them with indication and meaning, and turns plain time into particular instants of a lifetime, which are in turn valuable to the reader for his/her interpretation of this fictional world. As time is given human dimensions, we observe some distortions in the phenomenal movement of time and see it in different and renewed courses. In Joyce's hands time unfolds its multitudinous aspects and possibilities in narrative and in human consciousness. Time is unavoidable, indefatigable, indifferent, but it is also interferable, distortable, reshaped, reversed, proğressing, regressing, stopping, omnitemporal. In "Wandering Rocks" time is Proteus; variable, everchanging. Thus, Joyce substantiates Stephen's, the aspiring artist's, ambition and curiosity. The nacheinander becomes nebeneinander. This paper, through a close reading, first surveys the linear course of the fictional temporality in the chapter and then explores the differentiations in the time structure.
