Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? Harry White, Irving L
Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? Harry White, Irving L. Finston Conradiana, Volume 42, Number 1-2, Spring/Summer 2010, pp. 81-92 (Article) Published by Texas Tech University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cnd.2010.0010 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/452495 Access provided at 9 Oct 2019 05:10 GMT from USP-Universidade de São Paulo Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? HARRYWHITEANDIRVINGL.FINSTON Our article included in this issue, “The Two River Narratives in ‘Heart of Darkness,’” showed that Joseph Conrad imagined Kurtz’s Inner Station to be located on the Kasai River and not on the Congo as has been gener- ally assumed. We now ask how one of the most important, influential, and widely read and studied works of modern fiction has been so con- sistently and unquestioningly misread for so long on such a basic level. In what follows we show that something akin to a cover-up was initi- ated by the author regarding the location and direction of Charlie Mar- low’s voyage. We will then reveal the primary source for many of the current interpretations and misinterpretations of “Heart of Darkness” by showing how one very influential scholar was the first to place Kurtz’s station on the wrong river. Nowhere in any of his writings did Conrad report that Marlow’s venture into the heart of darkness followed his own voyage from Stan- ley Pool to Stanley Falls. Nowhere in “Heart of Darkness” does it say that Marlow voyages up the Congo to find Kurtz. -

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE Just as the poet must seek the appropriate word to convey an idea with sufficient vigor and yet obtain the cadence and rhyme necessary for the finished product, so also the translator must achieve the proper expression in one language to convey accurately and with equal vigor the author's ideas as expressed in his original language. In this process the languages in the translator's mind tend to lose their identity and one language easily assumes the idiosyncrasies of the other. I am therefore particularly grateful to Dr. Wallace L. Goldstein for his assistance in indicating flaws in grammatical constructions which would have resulted from the merging of the two languages. -

The Crime of Material Culture, the Condition of the Colonies And
The Crime of Material Culture, the Condition of the Colonies and Utopian/Dystopian Impulses, 1908-10 Robyn Walton During the years 1908-10 in Britain and Northern Europe, a number of liter- ary authors were producing fictions that both reflected and critiqued what Joseph Conrad later described as “the crudely materialistic atmosphere of the time.”1 In 1908, Conrad and his literary collaborator Ford Madox Ford (Hueffer) were completing The Nature of a Crime , a slight tale of one Lon- don professional’s addiction to embezzlement .2 Taking this Conrad-Ford microcosm of Edwardian materialism as its point of departure, this article first analyses how a range of 1908-10 fictions represent local financial prac- tices and the impacts of Northern money-making and materialistic culture. It notes that the narratives concentrate on upwardly mobile and creative characters of the middle classes, rather than on aristocrats or on the work- ing poor and unemployed who were the subject of contemporaneous social surveys and were the most immediately affected by their social superiors’ financial criminality and mismanagement. The article then asks why – given that Northern incomes, raw materials, and finished goods frequently had their origins in the colonies and developing nations – these fictions rarely examined the impacts of global resource exploitation on regions outside Europe. A number of possible reasons why the 1908-10 authors did not at- tend to the colonies are explored. The fictions’ few allusions to colonies and developing nations are found to further the authors’ collective critique of COLLOQUY text theory critique 21 (2011). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue021/walton.pdf 116 Robyn Walton ░ Europe’s materialist, capitalist culture rather than to investigate colonial cir- cumstances. -

Who was Abraham Fabert, and why should an account of him be written in English ? The biography now offered to the public had this natural origin. Many years ago, while travelling for rest and recre- ation, the author picked up at an Edinburgh book-stall a copy of the Vie de Fahert par le Pere Barre, and read it for amusement. Until then he knew no more of Fabert than this—that he was a Marshal of France whose statue he had seen at Metz, that his name figures in the Appendix to Voltaire's Steele de Louis XIV., and that it was mentioned here and there by other historians. The two little brown volumes of the Canon of St. Genevieve, however, disclosed the character of a man, so difteront in many respects from that of the French soldiers of his time, that the author was led to push his inquiries farther and deeper ; and thus he came to admire, and felt constrained to write out his estimate of the adventures, attainments, and high qualities of this Fabert. -
1204 Transcript
Show #1204 "Alien Invasion" Premiered November 6, 2001 THE SILENCE OF THE BIRDS GREEN INVADER THE SILKEN TREE EATERS DUST BUSTING TEASE ALAN ALDA Some time in the 1940s, a brown tree snake hitched a ride aboard a US Air Force plane in New Guinea, and it traveled across the Pacific to the island of Guam. As a result, Guam lost all its native bird life. On this edition of Scientific American Frontiers, global attacks by alien species. ALAN ALDA (NARRATION) The European gypsy moth has been steadily transforming America's forests, and now the Asian longhorned beetle could do the same thing. An African fungus crossed the Atlantic, to cause a damaging disease in Caribbean coral. And a Caribbean weed is smothering marine life in the Mediterranean, and it now threatens the California coast. ALAN ALDA I'm Alan Alda. Join me now for Alien Invasion. SHOW INTRO ALAN ALDA (NARRATION) It's a tranquil scene on the coast. A couple of guys are diving -- checking out life on the lagoon floor. People are boating. Actually I know who that is out there. She's Rachel Woodfield, a marine biologist, and she's bringing in a bag of that weed the divers were looking at. ALAN ALDA Hiya, Rachel. RACHEL WOODFIELD Hiya. ALAN ALDA Is that it, there? RACHEL WOODFIELD This is it right here. ALAN ALDA (NARRATION) But the weed is not as nice as it might seem. ALAN ALDA We're at Agua Hedionda Lagoon, just north of San Diego on the California coast. The divers out there are trying to get rid of every last shred of this stuff that they can find. -
Mapping Topographies in the Anglo and German Narratives of Joseph Conrad, Anna Seghers, James Joyce, and Uwe Johnson
MAPPING TOPOGRAPHIES IN THE ANGLO AND GERMAN NARRATIVES OF JOSEPH CONRAD, ANNA SEGHERS, JAMES JOYCE, AND UWE JOHNSON DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristy Rickards Boney, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Helen Fehervary, Advisor Professor John Davidson Professor Jessica Prinz Advisor Graduate Program in Professor Alexander Stephan Germanic Languages and Literatures Copyright by Kristy Rickards Boney 2006 ABSTRACT While the “space” of modernism is traditionally associated with the metropolis, this approach leaves unaddressed a significant body of work that stresses non-urban settings. Rather than simply assuming these spaces to be the opposite of the modern city, my project rejects the empty term space and instead examines topographies, literally meaning the writing of place. Less an examination of passive settings, the study of topography in modernism explores the action of creating spaces—either real or fictional which intersect with a variety of cultural, social, historical, and often political reverberations. The combination of charged elements coalesce and form a strong visual, corporeal, and sensory-filled topography that becomes integral to understanding not only the text and its importance beyond literary studies. My study pairs four modernists—two writing in German and two in English: Joseph Conrad and Anna Seghers and James Joyce and Uwe Johnson. All writers, having experienced displacement through exile, used topographies in their narratives to illustrate not only their understanding of history and humanity, but they also wrote narratives which concerned a larger global ii community. -
Infanticide in Early Modem Gennany: the Experience of Augsburg, Memmingen, Ulm, and Niirdlingen, 1500-1800
Infanticide in Early Modem Gennany: the experience of Augsburg, Memmingen, Ulm, and Niirdlingen, 1500-1800 Margaret Brannan Lewis Charlottesville, Virginia M.A., History, University of Virginia, 2008 B.A., History and Gennan, Furman University, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2012 i Abstract Between 1500 and 1800, over 100 women and men were arrested for infanticide or abortion in the city of Augsburg in southern Germany. At least 100 more were arrested for the same crime in the three smaller cities of Ulm, Memmingen, and Nördlingen. Faced with harsh punishments as well as social stigma if found pregnant out of wedlock, many women in early modern Europe often saw abortion or infanticide as their only option. At the same time, town councils in these southern German cities increasingly considered it their responsibility to stop this threat to the godly community and to prosecute cases of infanticide or abortion and to punish (with death) those responsible. The story of young, unmarried serving maids committing infanticide to hide their shame is well-known, but does not fully encompass the entirety of how infanticide was perceived in the early modern world. This work argues that these cases must be understood in a larger cultural context in which violence toward children was a prevalent anxiety, apparent in popular printed literature and educated legal, medical, and religious discourse alike. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this anxiety was expressed in and reinforced by woodcuts featuring mass murders of families, deformed babies, and cannibalism of infants by witches and other dark creatures. -
