Resumo: In the light of concepts put forth by Cultural Criticism the essay discusses  Joseph Conrad´s novels Almayer´s Folly and Heart of Darkness as stagings of the conflicts inherent in the syncretic nature of all culture.  In the first novel,  Nina, the offspring of an interracial marriage, is analyzed   as a projection of the problems of  hybridism. The theme recurs in Heart of Darkness, in the figure of the “harlequin”, whose mixed ancestry  makes  him the butt of  continuous abuse. A fictional anticipation of Michel Serres´ allegorical harlequin , the half-caste proves close to three Conradian characters:  Nina, in Almayer´s Folly, and, in Heart of Darkness,  Kurtz and Marlow, the  narrator. Conrad´s two novels thus  nod to each other as mutually illuminating references, fictional premonitions of the key postcolonial category of hybridity.

No primeiro romance, Nina,  nascida de um casamento inter-racial , é analisada como projeção dos problemas de hibridismo. O tema retorna em Heart of Darkness, na figura do “arlequim”, cuja ascendência mista   o torna  alvo de contínuos insultos. Antecipação ficcional do arlequim alegórico de Michel Serres, o mestiço assemelha-se a três personagens de Conrad: Nina, em  Almayer´s Folly, e, em   Heart of Darkness,  Kurtz e Marlow, o narrador. Dessa forma, os dois romances acenam um para o outro como referências mutuamente ilustrativas, premonições ficcionais do hibridismo, categoria-chave do pós-colonialismo.   UFSC2019-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n1p1510.5007/2175-8026.2019v72n1p15Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 72 No. 1 (2019): Mapping Critical Journeys in Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies; 15-28Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 72 n. 1 (2019): Mapping Critical Journeys in Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies; 15-282175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n1p15/38396Copyright (c) 2019 Solange Ribeiro de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Solange Ribeiro de2019-02-01T08:29:25Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/57454Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-02-01T08:29:25Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
