Under Bulgarian Eyes: the Reception of Joseph Conrad in Bulgaria
No full textThis article examines the trends in Bulgarian critical appraisals of Conrad’s writing and the transformations they have undergone over the last hundred years. Though few in number, these appraisals are nevertheless profound and perceptive, keeping in focus the most essential messages of Conrad’s works, as well as the facts of the author’s remarkable life. The scope of these critical endeavours has long been of a rather limited nature, but in some of the articles there has definitely been a noticeable trend towards a monographic approach. The growing fascination with Conrad in Bulgaria became particularly evident during the celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the writer’s birth. The Polish Institute in Sofia contributed significantly to this event, organizing university lectures and film projections – not only in the capital, but also in other parts of the country. In addition, the Warsaw 150th anniversary exhibition entitled “Twixt land and sea” was invited to Sofia (the co-author of the present article being one of those who took part in the opening ceremony). This heightened interest in Conrad – the man and the writer – is partly the result of current trends towards intensive cultural interaction and also a growing fascination with migrant writers coming from multicultural backgrounds. It may well be that these recent developments have contributed to the publication of two monographs on Conrad: Stefana Roussenova’s comparative study entitled Dialogues in Exile: Joseph Conrad, Vladimir Nabokov, Eva Hoffman (2010) – which addresses the problems of exile and migration in some of Conrad’s works – and Margreta Grigorova’s monograph entitled Joseph Conrad – the Creator as Seafarer (2011), which not only reviews the seminal achievements that have contributed to the expansion of Conrad studies in Bulgaria, but also builds on them and takes them to completion

Configurations of imperialism and their displacements in the novels of Joseph Conrad.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines certain configurations of imperialism
and their displacements in the novels of Joseph Conrad
beginning from the premise that imperialism is rationalised
through a dualistic model of self/"other" and functions as
a hierarchy of domination/subordination. In chapters one
and two it argues that both Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim
configure this model of imperialism as a split between
Europe/not-Europe. The third and fourth chapters consider
displacements of this model: onto a split within Europe and
an act of "internal" imperialism in Under Western Eyes and
onto unequal gender relations in the public and private
spheres in Chance.
Each chapter provides a reading of the selected novel
in relation to one or more contemporary (or near
contemporary) primary source and analyses these texts using
various strands of cultural theory. Chapter one, on Heart
of Darkness, investigates the historical background to
British imperialism by focusing on the textual production
of history in a variety of written forms which comprise the
diary, travel writing, government report, fiction. It
considers how versions of (imperial) history/knowledge are
constructed through the writing up of experience. In
chapter two, on Lord Jim, the hero figure is analysed as a
product of the imperial ideology and the protagonist's
failure is explored through the application of evolutionary
theory.
Chapters three and four, on Under Western Eyes and
Chance, investigate displacements of the imperial model:
the failure of an "enlightened" Western Europe to challenge
Russian imperialism in Poland forms the basis for reading
Under Western Eyes with Rousseau's writings and a
nineteenth-century history of the French Revolution. Chance
presents a further displacement of this model in its
relocation of imperialist imperatives in the sexual/gender
inequalities practised in the "mother" country
