The Invention of the West: Joseph Conrad and the Double-Mapping of Europe and Empire - Christopher GoGwilt

This study shows how the contemporary commonplace idea of "the West" emerged around the turn of the century from the combined and related phenomena of European imperial expansion and a crisis of democratic politics. The author argues that twentieth-century ideas of 'the West' can be traced to the convergence of two distinct discursive contexts: the 'new imperialism' of the 1890s that gave wider currency to oppositions between East and West, and the influence of nineteenth-century Russian debates on Western European ideas of Europe. The work of Conrad is shown to be uniquely suited to studying the relation between these two cultural and political contexts, since they provided Conrad with his two great themes - colonialism and revolution. źródło opisu: http://www.amazon.com źródło okładki: http://www.amazon.com
