Rethinking Joseph Conrads Concepts of Community Summary

Rethinking Joseph Conrads Concepts of Community: Strange Fraternity by Dr Kaoru Yamamoto (Associate Professor, University of Shiga Prefecture, Japan)

Rethinking Joseph Conrads Concepts of Community uses Conrads phrase strange fraternity from The Rover as a starting point for an exploration of the concept of community in his writing, including his neglected vignettes and later stories. Drawing on the work of continental thinkers including Jacques Derrida, Jean Luc-Nancy and Hannah Arendt, Yamamoto offers original readings of Heart of Darkness, The Nigger of the Narcissus, The Rover and Suspense and the short stories The Secret Sharer, The Warriors Soul and The Duel. Working at the intersection between literature and philosophy, this is a unique and interdisciplinary engagement with Conrads work.

Rethinking Joseph Conrads Concepts of Community Reviews

A bold and penetrating study of Conrad by a budding Japanese scholar fully abreast not only of Conrad scholarship but also of advances in literary theory and philosophy of art. * The Heythrop Journal *
Rethinking Joseph Conrads Concepts of Community is a significant addition to emerging scholarship on new ways of reading Conrad in the twenty-first century ... This is a bold book, a welcome contribution to the critical endeavour to prove Conrads relevance today. * English *
