Abstract

Abstract:Focusing on Joseph Conrad’s Nostromo, this essay historicizes the treatment of what we now call post-traumatic stress disorder, demonstrating how Conrad anticipated our current understanding and treatment of the illness. The second part of the essay addresses Nostromo’s treatment of historiography. Part three is concerned with epistemology and the relationship between neurological discoveries concerning the gap between perception and consciousness, relating those discoveries to Conrad’s use of delayed decoding.

历史、认知与诺斯特罗莫:康拉德对酷刑、创伤和人类对秩序的愤怒的探索

摘要:本文以约瑟夫·康拉德(Joseph Conrad)的《诺斯特罗莫》(Nostromo)为中心，将我们现在所说的创伤后应激障碍的治疗历史化，展示了康拉德是如何预见到我们目前对这种疾病的理解和治疗的。文章的第二部分论述了诺斯特罗莫对史学的看法。第三部分是关于认识论和关于知觉和意识之间差距的神经学发现之间的关系，将这些发现与康拉德使用的延迟解码联系起来。
