Joseph Conrad: Heart Of Darkness
Posted: December 7, 2011 by casualagent in Counter-Mapping, The TunnelTags: colonialism, greenwich, heart of darkness, joseph conrad, river themes, the tunnel
The beginning of Conrad’s novel, as Louise reminded us today, is set on the river Themes..i think this is the second fantastic starting point to start thinking in relation to the tunnel project. However, I would not like to praise Conrad for his anticolonialism a priori, and would propose as one of the reading groups [...]
