Julia Kristeva`s semiotics makes a distinction between the two ways texts function; phenotexts and genotext. What she calls a phenotext denotes language that obeys rule of communication and presupposes a subject of enunciation and an addresses. While this is a structure in generative grammar`s sense, the genotext is a semiotic process as language`s underlying foundation. Here, as a process it produces ephemeral, unstable structures. The signifying process of language naturally includes both the phenotext and genotext that together create infinite possibilities of language through their dialectical functions. Unfornately, however, most of the texts have been reduced to phenotexts because of various social constraints that obliterate the infinity of the process. Ulysses is genotext-dominant text which has inscribed within the phenotext "the plural, heterogeneous, and contradictory process of signification encompassing the flow of drives, material discontinuity, political struggle, and the pulverization of language."(Kirsteva Ⅰ. 88) We can think of different roles of writers and readers in the genotext-dominant Ulysses. First, when it comes to the writer`s role in Ulysses, we can say that Joyce is dead as a guide or dictator who leads the readers to a unified meaning but not dead to the extent, as post-structuralist critics say, of deconstruction; "the absence of any position, and indifference which is an illimitation, a perpetual movement of difference (in the very movement of hesitation) in which the subject is no longer visible, is dispersed in the writing."(Heath 37) We see Joyces as a writer-in-process who continuously transgresses himself to the point of jouissance but at the same time logically communicates with the readers, Joyce never disregards the phenotextual aspects of the text. That is why we can glimpse Joyce`s historical and social messages together with chaos on the verge of bursting into a madness. The confusion that greets first-time readers of Ulysses might be `chaos` due to its genotextual process. The drift as if they are exiles or voyages of enormous unknown was with no guide at all. Once, however, they get initiated as readers who can reject their `self as unified and whole` through the experiences of the genotext, they get freedom and pleasure through their voyage. From here, they reject any fixed meaning of Ulysses but at the same time refuse to deconstruct Ulysses into a delirium.
