This paper discusses the issue of wandering in a transtructural form, as a vicissitude that occurs in different clinical structures, and verifies its positivity: the possibility, from erring, to building up something new. Based on the connection between psychoanalysis and art, the paper refers to the writing of James Joyce to investigate the wandering and analyze the path taken by the writer, initially in a vagabond position, wandering, until he invented with his art a place for himself in the world.
