- Inhalt
- Joseph Conrad s short novel Heart of Darkness (1899) is many things: a late Victorian text preoccupied with the crumbling of the British Empire; a proto-modernist novella experimenting with narrative voice and the depiction of consciousness; an investigation of race and racism; a subversive depiction of (British) masculinity. For this class, it serves as a starting point for discussions of literary and cultural theory. Using Heart of Darkness as a case study, we will explore how to make (productive) use of theory in literary analysis. Set approaches will include psychoanalysis, feminism, gender and queer studies, postcolonialism, and new historicism. By the end of term, you will get to choose at least two further approaches you are interested in Marxism? affect theory? ecocriticism? your choice!
Disclaimer: apart from Heart of Darkness, you will have to read theoretical and critical articles each week, so brace yourselves!
