摘要

摘要:在《黑暗的心》和《进步的前哨》中，约瑟夫·康拉德笔下的人物最初将非洲空间与沉默和缺席联系在一起，而将欧洲空间与声音和充实联系在一起。然而，随着这些故事的进展，空虚的非洲空间和完整的欧洲空间之间的障碍被打破了，康拉德揭示了西方的活动和声音仅仅是一个表面，掩盖了其潜在的空虚，空虚反映了一个缺乏秩序和意义的宇宙。

Silence, Space, and Absence in Joseph Conrad's African Fiction

ABSTRACT:In Heart of Darkness and "An Outpost of Progress," Joseph Conrad's characters initially associate African space with silence and absence and European space with sound and fullness. As these tales progress, however, the barriers between empty African space and full European space break down, as Conrad reveals the activity and sound of the West to be merely a surface that obscures its underlying emptiness, an emptiness that reflects a universe absent of order or meaning.
