Resumo: | When we think about the confrontation between the dominated object and its relationship with the colonizer, especially in the nineteenth century, we find in the novel by Joseph Conrad, The Heart of Darkness, a interesting literary corpus, in which this paper will concentrate the analysis. If we agree with the statement of Edward Said, in Culture and Imperialism, that the East is created from the West, the Conrad’s book demonstrate how this creation occurs when this civilizing process is brutal and baffling. The review proposal in this article is not define concepts as nation, culture or social identity, using a literary text. What we propose is a dialogue between the analysis that the post-colonial theorist Edward Said about the process of colonization and a literary representation, The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, that describes the process known as colonization. |

Se concordarmos com a afirmação de Edward Said, em Cultura e Imperialismo, de que o Oriente se cria a partir do Ocidente, em Conrad percebemos como essa criação ocorre na medida em que o processo civilizatório é brutal e enlouquecedor. A análise proposta nesse ensaio não visa definir por meio de uma obra literária conceitos como de Nação, Cultura ou Identidade Social, conceitos já compreendidos como amplos e mutáveis e impossíveis de serem unitariamente definidos. Antes, o que propomos é um diálogo entre a análise que o teórico pós-colonialista Edward Said faz do processo de colonização e uma representação literária que argumenta positiva/negativamente ao descrever os processos dominadores conhecidos como civilizatórios, nesse caso o romance de Joseph Conrad, O Coração das Trevas.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2008-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/7392110.5902/1679849X73921Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 12 (2008): Literatura e Autoritarismo: Contextos históricos e produção literária1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/73921/51232Copyright (c) 2008 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTavares, Enéias Farias2023-07-18T13:22:42Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/73921Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-07-18T13:22:42Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
