• W1519021720 abstract "Early on in Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness the ‘inner’ narrator, Marlow, establishes the first of two distinctions crucial to Heart of Darkness: between colonists and conquerors-between those Europeans who settle in another land and those who merely rob it. The second distinction involves gender. If colonization implies that European men and women settle in a colonized territory, ‘conquerors’ involved in ‘robbery with violence’ keep their women at home. When Marlow makes the following comment to his listeners, it is clear that he is not talking about ‘women,' but about ‘European women’: It's queer how out of touch with truth women are. They live in a world of their own, and there had never been anything like it, and never can be. It is too beautiful altogether, and if they were to set it up it would go to pieces before the first sunset. Some confounded fact we men have been living contentedly with ever since the day of creation would start up and knock the whole thing over. Much later in the novella he adds, however, that ‘we must help them to stay in that beautiful world of their own, lest ours gets worse.’ But Heart of Darkness poses a question that re-emerges in stronger form in Nostromo: does women's idealism make it easier for men to engage in ‘robbery with violence,' secure in the knowledge there is a more beautiful, feminized, world waiting for them to retreat into? Conrad's Malay fiction-Almayer's Folly, An Outcast of the Islands, Lord Jim, and a range of shorter works-returns obsessively to the complications attendant upon a relationship between a European man and a ‘native’ woman. Here women do not live in a more beautiful world: in Lord Jim for example it is the female Jewel who is aware of the perils facing the naive Jim, perils from which she protects him. It is rather his idealism-as Stein summarizes: ‘He is romantic’-that dooms their relationship. The pattern of doomed interracial relationships in Conrad's Malay fiction prefigures the conclusion of E. M. Forster's A Passage to India, that a relationship between people of different cultures cannot escape from the effects of power-inequalities in the relationship between these cultures. The paper looks at the varying ways in which gender divisions and relations interact with the politics of imperialism. It will consider the following issues. * the male-female relationship as a mirror of, and model for, imperialist oppression: the ‘feminization’ of the conquered territory and its people. * the invasion of the political into the personal. * the export of capital, the loss of unmediated communication, and the loss of community. * women's ‘world of their own’: female idealism as alternative to, or support for, exploitation. * The experience of imperialist division as contributory element in the emergence of the modernist (male) divided self." @default.
