    Abstract
    This essay examines the differences between high and popular culture, looking at Joyce and Heaney as synecdoches of cannon-creation and a resultant decommissioning of that canon. This is done through a deconstructive reading of text and context, high culture and popular culture, and the notion of cultural capital.
