Whereas critique is a form of reading that prioritizes suspicion, unmasking, and demystifying, postcritique ascribes positive value to the knowledge, affect, ethics, and politics that emerge from literature. The essays in this collection recognize the dark elements in Conrad’s fiction—deceit, vanity, avarice, lust, cynicism, and cruelty—yet they perceive hopefulness as well. Conrad’s skepticism unveils the dark heart of politics, and his critical heritage can feed our fear that humanity is incapable of improving. This Conrad is a well-known figure, but there is another, neglected Conrad that this book aims to bring to light, one who delves into the politics of hope as well as the politics of fear. .Chapters 1 and 2 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com. | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Postcritique; Scepticism; Idealism; Literary Theory; Critique; Political Fiction | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72499-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-72501-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-72499-3 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
