Heart Of Darkness

In the light of concepts put forth by Cultural Criticism the essay discusses  Joseph Conrad´s novels Almayer´s Folly and Heart of Darkness as stagings of the conflicts inherent in the syncretic nature of all culture.  In the first novel,  Nina, the offspring of an interracial marriage, is analyzed   as a projection of the problems of  hybridism. The theme recurs in Heart of Darkness, in the figure of the “harlequin”, whose mixed ancestry  makes  him the butt of  continuous abuse. A fictional anticipation of Michel Serres´ allegorical harlequin , the half-caste proves close to three Conradian characters:  Nina, in Almayer´s Folly, and, in Heart of Darkness,  Kurtz and Marlow, the  narrator. Conrad´s two novels thus  nod to each other as mutually illuminating references, fictional premonitions of the key postcolonial category of hybridity.

The Veil

This chapter explores the life and writings of three main personalities who contributed to shaping an aesthetics of veiling in disparate but analogous ways. In their writings and their performances of a public self, these writers construct a sense of the psychic space that the outward sign of the veil helps cultivate. This psychic space, this spiritual interiority, is created by veiling but also by the words, discourses, narratives, and images of the veil in public culture and public circulation. Each writer has been profoundly invested in the politics of performance—in television (Kariman Hamza), film (Shams al-Barudi), and theater and cultural criticism (Safinaz Kazim). These three early exemplars were pivotal in formulating the ideological and conceptual contours of the genre. They set down motifs and described psychic transformations that would become classic signposts on the path to veiling. Their narratives envisioned new kinds of Islamic media in which the visual signifier of the veil would become ascendant.
