- Joseph Conrad as the heir of the controversy between aesthetical and politicize art
- Heart of Darkness: statements in favour of the colonization and statements fighting against it
Résumé :
Heart of Darkness can be analyzed under the specter of the battle between two schools of artists keeping their own specific vision of art. The first considers that art must remain an aesthetic support, only seeking to communicate emotion and display beauty; this school advocates art for art's sake. The second considers that art should be a means to introduce an idea or to fight for a cause, that is to say that art has not only an aesthetic purpose but also a political influence.
In a way, at the beginning of the 20th century, conrad is the heir to this controversy. He does not face revolutions but another prevalent issue: colonization. He directly witnessed Europeans leaving the continent to travel to every part of the world and mainly Africa. In Heart of Darkness, he displays the evolution of Marlow, a young British sailor travelling on a ship to Congo to find a colonialist called Kurtz. Then, where does conrad stand in the battle opposing two visions of art?
