Beskrivelse
This study of Joseph Conrad's influential work 'Heart of Darkness' presents for the first time the German-language reception of this reference text in the debate on postcolonialism. The spectrum ranges from Conrad's contemporaries (like Kafka) to many canonical authors of the 20th century (including Thomas Mann, Ernst Junger, Christa Wolf) to the most recent names in literature (i.e. Christian Kracht und Lukas Barfuss). Beyond the readings of their works, the study contributes to the study of cultural transfers as well as to Conrad philology, and it expands the theory of intertextuality with parameters that capture the complex factor of power in postcolonial relations.
