| Summary: | In this paper, the author highlights the analysis of the works of Joseph Conrad and to see how they were written in relation to colonial discourse and in what measure did Conrad support or oppose processes of colonialism and imperialism through his works, and through his personal life. Firstly, his early life when Conrad worked as a sailor is explained. Then, the state in Europe and the world in Conrad’s time is stated. After that, the paper looks on certain criticism directed at Joseph Conrad from other writers and from critics, and the way they saw Conrad’s relation towards colonialism. Finally, the analysis of Conrad’s works is explained to see the way in which Conrad wrote and what he himself highlighted in relation to colonialism. U ovom radu autor stavlja naglasak na analizu djela Josepha Conrada i pogled kako su ta djela napisana u odnosu na kolonijalni diskurs i u kolikoj je mjeri Conrad bio podržavao ili se protivio procesima kolonijalizma i imperijalizma kroz svoja djela, ali i kroz svoj osobni život. Prvo se prikazuje pregled njegova ranog života koji uključuje i njegovu karijeru dok je radio na brodovima. Zatim se nastavlja s prikazom Europe i svijeta kakav je bio u razdbolju Conradova života. Nakon toga, rad se osvrće na pojedine kritike usmjerene prema Josephu Conradu od strane drugih pisaca i kritičara i na način na koji su oni gledali na Conradov odnos prema kolonijalizmu. I konačno, analiza samih Conradovih djela da se vidi način na koji je zaista Conrad pisao u svojim djelima i na što je stavljao naglasak u odnosu na sami kolonijalizam. |
