This paper aims to discuss how Orientalism is described in Ulysses. Bloom has a Hungarian Jewish background, although he was born and raised up in Dublin. Hungary is often described as the country built up as a powerful empire by the Asian leader Attila the Hun in the early fifth century. According to the Bible, the early ancestors of Jews had lived as tillers of the soil or nomads around Mesopotamia were took away to Egypt as slaves, and settled in Israel experiencing the Babylonian captivity until the Roman Diaspora. Also, some people have believed that the Celts originally came from Central Asia. Bloom has multiple Asian aspects, although all of his Asian elements are subtle and impalpable. Joyce occasionally refers throughout Ulysses to the Mirus Bazaar hosted by the viceroy Earl of Dudley in aid of funds for Mercer`s hospital to add an Oriental mood for the novel. In "Calypso" and "Lotus Eaters" Bloom`s Orientalism is featured following F. D. Thompson`s In the Track of the Sun. Under the British rule Ireland had a two-sided attitude toward the Orient from a postcolonial perspective. Bloom`s point of view also seems inconsistent with the Orient throughout the novel. Referring to Edward Said`s Orientalism and Joseph Lennon`s Irish Orientalism, Bloom`s ambivalence about the Orient is examined. Bloom`s ambivalence about the Orient is rooted in his ambiguous "Asian" background. Bloom thinks of the Orient as an Orientalist who escapes from the reality and fantasizes of being in some Oriental place. However, he also notices: "Probably not a bit like it really. Kind of stuff you read: in the track of the sun" (U 4.99-100). Irish-Oriental connections no longer hold academic credibility. However, Irish Orientalists including Joyce used some Oriental motifs and elements in their works as a literary device or as a mode of modernism to express their complex cultural identity.
