Entering Heart of Darkness from a Postcolonial perspective. Teaching Notes
Responsible organisation
1998 (English)Report (Other academic)Alternative title
Att undervisa om Mörkrets hjärta ur ett postkolonialt perspektiv (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The aim of this paper is twofold. First it contains a description how Heart of Darkness can be used in the definition and discussion of the terms imperialism and civilization. Second it describes a pattern of analysis based on the novella that is particularly relevant for postcolonial studies. Thus the novella, together with a selection of source material, serves both to give the historical and factual background necessary for the study of New Literatures in English and to provide the students with an analytical model that may be applied to other books in their reading list.
