Conrad and Transcultural Belonging.
- Authors
Hampson, Robert
- Abstract
This text explores the theme of transcultural belonging in the works of Joseph Conrad and contemporary writers. It discusses Conrad's novels "The Rover" and "An Outpost of Progress," focusing on the characters' experiences of estrangement and belonging in different cultural settings. The text also examines Javier Marías' engagement with Conrad's work in his novel "Berta Isla," as well as Agnieszka Studzinska's response to Conrad's themes in a prose poem. Additionally, the text discusses the experiences of transcultural belonging in the context of non-European trauma, such as the Rwanda genocide. Overall, it highlights the complexities and challenges of belonging in diverse cultural and historical contexts.
