Heart Of Darkness - Discussion and Analysis
Переглядів 3,2 тис.4 роки тому
College is cancelled. Watch this mini-lecture and wash your hands. Conrad's most enduring novella is rich and complex; in this lecture, we'll discuss some of the main currents animating the work and literary criticism of it Gender, Class, Race, and Hegemony (both Political and Cultural). There's a side-helping of "voicedness" and hypocognition at work, as well. Enjoy.

      Though I would seriously argue it’s not anti imperialism, it’s very much pro. Marlow or Conrad never condemn imperialism, nor extractivist short term colonialism. He just prefers a lighter version of them.

    Sir, I was in your EN102 class second semester AY-20 and I remember watching these videos from home after we left. I just realized that I'm still subscribed to your channel. I find it amusing that this video now has 1000+ views from random people who needed some help with Morrison. I hope your new assignment is treating you well. -Rob

      Hey! I hate that coronavirus shut down that semester; I was having so much fun with y’all. I put the videos on UA-cam because I didn’t want to mess with a large file size on Blackboard; it has been amusing and kinda gratifying to see others gain some benefit from that happy accident. We’re enjoying Ansbach and looking forward to the end of the “coronavirus emergency brake” in June. Even here, though, I miss our class and miss teaching...though Jenny is clear that she does not miss lower Upstate New York, haha. I hope you’re doing well and that springtime boosts morale. Stay in touch!

      I agree, it’s a great novel but also very special in being a great “classroom” novel. There’s so much going on that nearly any reader can find something to dive into, and it balances beautiful language with narrative economy in an exceptional way.

      Apologies; I was on a tight timeline trying to get these out for classes that unexpectedly went virtual. The music covers up the buzzing of my monitor and my kids’ screaming. I’ll pay attention to the volume in any future videos. I hope the video helped somehow, though!

      @literatureinthetimeofcoron9286 3 роки тому

      I’m open to admitting I’m wrong but I feel the statement is a fair one, at least on the surface. Abrahamic religions require the wife’s submission to the husband on penalty of eternal torture. And men overwhelmingly control the world’s wealth, meaning they enter most social negotiations from a position of power. One effect of this inheritance is that CEOs and Members of Congress dwarf the number of women in those positions, so men (still) predominantly shape our world even as we cheer on the democratization of power.

      The Ven Diagram overlap of people who watch Toni Morrison literary criticism videos and people who support President Trump has to be razor thin. I obviously disagree with your politics but have to admit you’re an exceptional person.
