#WhiteMaterial, 2009, directed by #ClaireDenis and starring #IsabelleHuppert is another look into the #HeartOfDarkness, this time that of the arrogance of #whiteDenial born of #whitePrivilege.

Marie chooses to ignore reality and believe she, her family, and their plantation will be safe even as a righteous reckoning closes in.

She clings desperately to what was never hers, and earns her just, brutal fate.

A tense, slow-burn of a #film on #TheCriterionChannel

Who was Joseph Conrad and what is his influence on literature?

Check out this post on Conrad and his classic novella, Heart of Darkness: https://arthinkal.substack.com/p/on-joseph-conrad-and-the-heart-of

I read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad during my classics catch-up period in England during the late 1980s. While I remember little of the story, I recall being in awe of Conrad's evocative description of the steamboat journey up the forested Belgian Congo.

I am aware of the criticism of Conrad and the novel as racist. However, I was intrigued when I saw the audiobook version of Heart of Darkness "performed" by Kenneth Branagh (Audible Studios 2010). Would I still find the writing evocative? Or would the story be too racist?

The answer was yes to both for me. And while the derogatory description of African people and the abuse by their colonial overlords is repulsive, if I excised those parts of the book from my consciousness, I was still in awe of Conrad's writing.

One thing that struck me was that I couldn't tell where the protagonist Marlowe's sympathies lay. His generalisations are racist, though they could be said to be "of their time". But he also expresses disgust at the colonial brutality.

I'll leave this for others to debate. However, I don't regret revisiting The Heart of Darkness as an audiobook. And Branagh's "performance" had me relisten to it a second time.

Turns out, I’m not even in the “Thank You”s for the European version of #HeartOfDarkness 😢

@RPGManor There‘s is always an alternative viewpoint, e. g. https://youtu.be/F5QFYNOsNac
Ok, ich glaube, die Leute verstehen, dass Du mit dem #AlienRPG ein Problem hast, es nicht sonderlich leiden kannst. Wir hatten unseren Spaß damit, würde es wieder spielen - auch #HeartofDarkness, evtl. angepasst. Enjoy.

For a time I would feel I belonged still to a world of straightforward facts; but the feeling would not last long. Something would turn up to scare it away

Really enjoying walking around Ho chi Min city. #vietnam #holidays #queerpunk #australian #heartofdarkness

Ho comprato una nuova stilografica, una #twsbi Diamond, nettamente superiore alle entry-level che avevo fino ad ora.
L'ho caricata con inchiostro #noodlersink #HeartOfDarkness e la userò per studiare e per prendere appunti durante le interrogazioni dei miei allievi e delle mie allieve. La sensazione sulla carta è stupefacente.
Qualcuno qui usa penne stilografiche?

Das Spiel war damals verdammt schwer, aber Gott wie ich dieses Intro alleine für seine Orchestermusik liebe. Und im Nachhinein betrachtet hat es sogar etwas vom Stranger Things Flair:

I'm walking the Thames in bits. SE past Erith today and Conrad's sepulchral gloom never went away. Calm & continuity.
