ellauri034.html on line 543: In 1975 the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe published an essay, "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad´s ´Heart of Darkness´", which provoked controversy by calling Conrad a "thoroughgoing racist". Achebe´s view was that Heart of Darkness cannot be considered a great work of art because it is "a novel which celebrates... dehumanisation, which depersonalises a portion of the human race." Referring to Conrad as a "talented, tormented man", Achebe notes that Conrad (via the protagonist, Charles Marlow) reduces and degrades Africans to "limbs", "ankles", "glistening white eyeballs", etc., while simultaneously (and fearfully) suspecting a common kinship between himself and these natives—leading Marlow to sneer the word "ugly." Achebe also cited Conrad´s description of an encounter with an African: "A certain enormous buck nigger encountered in Haiti fixed my conception of blind, furious, unreasoning rage, as manifested in the human animal to the end of my days." Achebe´s essay, a landmark in postcolonial discourse, provoked debate, and the questions it raised have been addressed in most subsequent literary criticism of Conrad.
ellauri034.html on line 547: Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as the dominant figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart, occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated and read African novel. If Conrad or his novel is racist, it is only in a weak sense, since Heart of Darkness acknowledges racial distinctions "but does not suggest an essential superiority" of any group.

ellauri222.html on line 733: In their quest to find the beaver that gives meaning to life, Bellow's protagonists must also come to terms with death. The message Bellow conveys in almost all of his novels is that one must fear death to know the meaning of life and what it means to be human. Henderson overcomes his fear of death when he is buried and symbolically resurrected in the African king Dahfu's experiment. Similarly, in Seize the Day, Tommy Wilhelm confronts death in a symbolic drowning. Charlie Citrine in Humboldt's Gift echoes Whitman in viewing death as the essential question, pointing out that it is only through death that Sauls can complete the cycle of life by liberating self from the body. Bellow's meditations on death darken in Mr. Sammler's Planet and The Dean's December. While the title character in Mr. Sammler's Planet eagerly awaits the death of the person he most values in the world, Bellow contemplates the approaching death of Western culture at the hands of those who have abandoned humanistic values. The Dean's December presents an apocalyptic vision of urban decay in a Chicago totally lacking the comic touches that soften Charlie Citrone's portrait of this same city as a "moronic inferno" in Humboldt's Gift. An uncharacteristically bleak yarn from he old standup comic. With More Die of Heartbreak and the recent novellas, however, Bellow returns to his more characteristic blend of pathos and farce in contemplating the relationship between life and death. In the recent Ravelstein, Bellow once again charts this essential confrontation when Saul recounts not only his best friend's death from AIDS but also his own near-death experience from food poisoning. Through this foreground, in a fictionalized memoir to his own gay friend Allan Bloom, Bellow reveals the resilient love and tenderness that offer the modern world its saving grace.

I was 12 in the first year of high school and there were people in my class who were 15-and-a-half." That surely taught her a lot, a likely model of The Red House in Handmaid's Tale.

Eikä seuraavatkaan 50 vuotta ole tuoneet mitään parannusta, pikemminkin päinvastoin.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 95: Heart of Darkness, novelli, kirjoittaja Joseph Conrad, joka julkaistiin ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 1899 Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine ja sitten Conrad's Youth and Two Other Stories (1902). Heart of Darkness tutkii länsimaisen kolonialismin kauhuja ja kuvaa sitä ilmiönä, joka tahraa paitsi sen riistomaita ja kansoja, myös niitä lännessä, jotka edistävät sitä. Vaikka Conradin puoliautoelämäkerrallinen kertomus sai alun perin heikon vastaanoton, siitä on tullut yksi laajimmin analysoiduista englantilaisen kirjallisuuden teoksista. Kriitikot eivät ole aina kohdelleet Pimeyden sydäntä suotuisasti ja moittivat sen epäinhimillistä esittämistä kolonisoituneista kansoista ja sen halveksivaa kohtelua naisia kohtaan. Siitä huolimatta Heart of Darkness on kestänyt, ja nykyään se on modernistinen mestariteos, joka liittyy suoraan postkolonialistiseen todellisuuteen.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 97: Yhteenveto. Heart of Darkness kertoo tarinan tarinassa. Novelli alkaa ryhmästä matkustajia Thames-joella kelluvassa veneessä. Yksi heistä, kapteeni Marvel (Marlow) kertoo merenkulkijoilleen kokemuksestaan, joka tapahtui kokonaan toisella joella – Kongo- joella Afrikassa. Marlow'n tarina alkaa "hautakaupungiksi" kutsutusta paikasta jossain Euroopassa. Siellä ”yhtiö” – nimeämätön organisaatio, joka johtaa siirtomaayritystä Belgian Kongossa – nimittää hänet höyrylaivan kapteeniksi. Hän lähtee Afrikkaan optimistisena sen suhteen, mitä hän löytää.

Vuosi Eurooppaan paluunsa jälkeen Marlow vierailee Kurtzin kumppanin luona. Hänet esitetään – kuten monet Heart of Darknessin naishahmoista – naiivisti suojassa maailman kauheudelta, tila, jonka Marlow haluaa säilyttää. Kun hän kysyy Kurtzin viimeisistä sanoista, Marlow valehtelee: "nimesi", hän kertoo. Marlow'n tarina päättyy tähän. Heart of Darkness itse päättyy, kun kertoja, yksi Marlow'n yleisöstä, näkee horisontille kerääntyvän haudanpilviä – mikä hänestä näyttää olevan "valtavan pimeyden sydän" .
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 109: Vastaanotto. Heart of Darkness julkaistiin vuonna 1902 novellina Youth: And Two Other Stories -kokoelmassa, joka sisälsi kaksi muuta Conradin tarinaa. Mutta teksti ilmestyi ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 1899 Blackwoodin Edinburgh Magazinessa , kirjallisessa kuukausilehdessä sen tuhannessa numerossa, ja sen toimittaja kutsui Conradin osallistumaan. Conrad epäröi tehdä niin, ehkä hyvästä syystä – vaikka Pimeyden sydän sai tunnustusta omassa kirjallisuudessaan, tarina ei saavuttanut minkäänlaista suosittua menestystä. Näin oli myös silloin, kun se julkaistiin vuonna 1902; Heart of Darkness sai vähiten huomiota kolmesta mukana olleesta tarinasta, ja kokoelma nimettiin samannimisenä kokonaan toisen tarinan mukaan. Conrad ei elänyt tarpeeksi kauan nähdäkseen sen olevan suosittu menestys.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 111: Heart of Darkness alkoi saada akateemista huomiota ensimmäisen kerran 1940- ja 50-luvuilla, jolloin kirjallisuustutkimusta hallitsi psykologinen lähestymistapa kirjallisuuden tulkintaan. Pimeyden sydän ymmärrettiin sen mukaisesti universaalisti ihmisen sisäisyyden tutkimiseksi – sen turmeltuvuudesta, saavuttamattomuudesta ja sille luontaisesta pimeydestä. Näistä kritiikistä tietysti puuttui jotain oleellista: kaikenlainen novellin kolonialismin sanoman tarkastelu tai sen Afrikan ja sen ihmisten käyttö epäselvänä taustana, jota vasten tutkia valkoisen psyyken "monimutkaisuutta.'
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 113: Tilanne muuttui 1970-luvulla kun Chinua Achebe, nigerialainen Things Fall Apart -kirjan kirjoittaja , esitti raivostuttavan kritiikin Heart of Darknessia vastaan tavasta, jolla se epäinhimillisti afrikkalaisia. Acheben kritiikki avasi ovet teoksesta tuleville postkolonialistisille analyyseille, ja sitä seurasi myös muiden akateemisten näkökulmien analyysi: esimerkiksi feministiset lukemat paljastivat Conrad polakin samanlaisen naarasaiheisiinsa tehdyn hämärtymisen. Vaikka Pimeyden sydän on pysynyt monissa opetussuunnitelmissa 1970-luvulta lähtien, sillä on nyt paljon kiistanalaisempi asema länsimaisessa kaanonissa: tarinana, joka tasoitti kolonialismia vastaan suunnattua kritiikkiä, joka oli aikansa uutta ja joka oli syntyä muotoileva. kirjallisuuden modernismista, on edelleen syvästi ja anteeksiantamattomasti juurtunut valkoisen miehen näkökulmaan.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 115: Analyysi. On the most superficial level, Heart of Darkness can be understood through its semiautobiographical relationship to Conrad’s real life. Much like his protagonist Marlow, Conrad’s career as a merchant marine also took him up the Congo River. And much like Marlow, Conrad was profoundly affected by the human depravity he witnessed on his boat tour of European colonialism in Africa.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 117: But it’s overly reductive to boil Heart of Darkness down to the commonalities it shares with Conrad’s own experiences. It would be useful to examine its elements crucial to the emergence of modernism: for example, Conrad’s use of multiple narrators; his couching of one narrative within another; the story’s achronological unfolding; and as would become increasingly clear as the 20th century progressed, his almost post-structuralist distrust in the stability of language. At the same time, his story pays homage to the Victorian tales he grew up on, evident in the popular heroism so central to his story’s narrative. In that sense, Heart of Darkness straddles the boundary between a waning Victorian sensibility and a waxing Modernist one.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 119: One of the most resoundingly Modernist elements of Conrad’s work lies in this kind of early post-structuralist treatment of language—his insistence on the inherent inability of words to express the real, in all of its horrific truth. Marlow’s journey is full of encounters with things that are “unspeakable,” with words that are uninterpretable, and with a world that is eminently “inscrutable.” In this way, language fails time and time again to do what it is meant to do—to communicate. It’s a phenomenon best summed up when Marlow tells his audience that “it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence—that which makes its truth, its meaning—its subtle and penetrating essence… We live, as we dream—alone.” Kurtz—as “eloquent” as he may be—can’t even adequately communicate the terrifying darkness he observed around him.“The horror! The horror!” is all he can say. Some critics have surmised that part of Heart of Darkness’s mass appeal comes from this ambiguity of language—from the free rein it gives its readers to interpret. Others posit this as a great weakness of the text, viewing Conrad’s inability to name things as an unseemly quality in a writer who’s supposed to be one of the greats. Perhaps this is itself a testament to the Heart of Darkness’s breadth of interpretability.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 121: Heart of Darknessin tarkastelu postkolonialistisesta näkökulmasta on antanut tilaa pilkallisemmalle kritiikille. Kuten Achebe ilmaisi, Conrad oli "perinteinen rasisti", joka dehumanisoi afrikkalaisia käyttääkseen heitä taustana valkoisen miehen sisäisyyden tutkimiseen. Achebe on oikeassa: vaikka Conrad nuhtelee kolonialismin pahuutta, hän ei tee juurikaan hajottaakseen sellaisen järjestelmän taustalla olevaa rasismia, vaan pitää Afrikan alkuperäiskansoja vain osana luonnollista ympäristöä. Tätä teosta on pidetty yhtenä lännen oivaltavimmista kirjoista eurooppalaisen imperialismin pahuudesta Afrikassa, mutta se ei kuitenkaan anna mitään erityispiirteitä afrikkalaisille itselleen.
xxx/ellauri379.html on line 125: Suuri osa nykyajan analyysistä – edellä mainittu postkolonialistinen ja feministinen kritiikki mukaan lukien – ei keskity itse tekstiin, vaan muihin tekstin kommentteihin, mikä selventää tapaa, jolla akateemisessa ympäristössä käydyt keskustelut voivat tahattomasti säilyttää joitakin teoksen ongelmallisempia elementtejä. Siten Heart of Darkness on jatkuvasti muuttuvassa asemassa kirjallisessa kaanonissa: ei enää valaisevana tekstinä, joka paljastaa inhimillisen turmeluksen syvyydet, vaan esineenä, joka on tällaisen turmeluksen tuote ja joka toistaa sen omana oikeutensa. Kysymys kuuluu sitten: kuuluuko Pimeyden sydän edelleen lännen kirjalliseen kaanoniin? Ja jos on, niin tuleeko aina? Eikö se ole vaan hölmön misogyynin kolonialisti puolalaisen aivokummitus?
