Joyce regarded Ireland as a colonized nation where an individual`s self-identity was distorted by Irishmen who representing English imperialism In Portrait, Joyce described chiefly the Irishmen living the distorted lives: fathers, priests, nationalists, and etc. They who wouldn`t admit the Otherness of others because of their own narrow-mindedness, corrupted articulations and actions. Through Stephen`s resistance to the Irishmen`s partial and wrong values, Joyce presented the escape out of the actualities of darkness, immatured infant land(Dublin) in many forms such as `national allegory,` `various new languages,` and `many symbols` by the "new terminology." In Portrait we can infer that Joyce intended to reveal the contradictory `colonized situation`s essences`, and to get rid of Irishmen`s distorted representations and ambivalence of English imperialists that were hidden beneath `civilizing mission` and `modernity`. Also, Joyce destroyed the myth of historical objectivity and the empty space of spacelessness and created a historical heterogeneity through the medium of a `historical narrativity.` Through these subversions, Joyce newly named Dublin a new spatial historical city in an original fashion, and suggested a hopeful future without any restrictions and contaminated self-identity of imperialism and nationalism. The issues of the place and language in the colonial resistance discourse are closely related with the writer`s political, cultural and literary intention. So, Joyce`s writing in English is not only to show the linguistic hybridity of a Post-colonial writer, but also to revolt against the British imperialism in favor of the colonized nation`s literary authenticity.
