DOI: 10.1558/equinox.19161

Blurb:

In this article, Turci makes a contribution to the still ongoing debate concerning the relation among Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, representations of the African continent and the phenomenon of Imperialism. She does so through an analysis of the lemma dark*, and its diverse word forms, as it is reiterated throughout this novella.
