| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Arguing against the long established image of Conrad as the subjective moral impressionist, this project demonstrated that ‘strange fraternity’ beyond the classic idea of community sometimes takes place in Conrad’s texts. In order to make this argument, it read Conrad along with Continental thinkers such as Jacques Derrida, Jean Luc-Nancy and Hannah Arendt, whose remoteness from the Anglo-American literary criticism, from Conrad criticism in particular, makes this project distinctive, in its offering of a new, interdisciplinary reading especially of Conrad’s neglected, later works. Some of my plans to think Conrad's unique notion of community in terms of 'Union of Lublin', or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, remain untouched, but they will be left for my future research.
