Race, Gender, and Closure in Conrad's Lord Jim

ABSTRACT:This article argues that critical understandings of gendered closure often overlook the intersection of race. Examining Conrad's Lord Jim demonstrates how Jewel's lack of closure in the novel frustrates ideological expectations, ultimately revealing the limitations of the marriage/death binary. The spaces afforded and denied to Jewel in this text expose the inability of closure and endings to bear the burden of ideological significance in the late Victorian/ early modernist novel. By exploring the way the text moves away from Jewel, this article questions whether there is a rhetorical violence in being denied a fixed ending.

康拉德的吉姆勋爵中的种族、性别和封闭

摘要:本文认为,对性别封闭的批判性理解往往忽视了种族的交叉点。检查康拉德的吉姆勋爵表明,朱厄尔在小说中缺乏封闭性如何挫败意识形态的期望,最终揭示了婚姻/死亡二元论的局限性。在这篇文本中给予和拒绝给朱厄尔的空间暴露了维多利亚时代晚期/早期现代主义小说中封闭和结局无法承受意识形态意义的负担。本文通过探索文本远离宝石的方式,质疑拒绝固定结局是否存在修辞暴力。
