Our first main text is Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, first published 1899. Given the introduction to colonial postcards that we'll do in class, I encourage you to use your blog post to reflect on how Conrad encourages us to "see" things in this novel. Feel free to make comparisons with the colonial postcards and their culture of circulation, if you wish, or to share other images that you might come across.
