  • Soho as Mnemonic Black Hole: "Topographical Mysteries" in The Secret Agent Reviewed

    Kaoru Yamamoto

    Conrad Studies: Journal of the Joseph Conrad Society of Japan   ( 8 )   15 - 31   2017.3

     More details

    Language:Japanese   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    In its apparently faithful, at times even grotesque, reproduction of London in the late Victorian period, The Secret Agent makes us see the social reality of the metropolis. However, in the geography of Conrad's monstrous town, sometimes suddenly spaces opens up that resist the reader's attempted mapping. These `topographical mysteries' undermine the sense of historical referentiality that the novel otherwise seems to explore in its naturalistic engagement with the landscape of the city. Considering the story's ambiguous historicity less in terms of the author's misremembrance than in terms of a mnemonic `black hole', which is a question of traumatic memory, this essay suggests that the occasional difficulty of anchoring the text to a particular space and time, in part, renders the novel all the more open to new readings, thereby enabling it to return again and again as `the true classic of terrorism'.

    「英文学」になじみがなくても、ジェームズ・ボンドを主人公とする「007(ダブル・オー・セブン)」や「シャーロック・ホームズ」シリーズの映画やテレビ・ドラマなら観たことがあるという人はいると思います。これらの原作である探偵・スパイ小説は、もともと19世紀英国で流行した文学ジャンルの一つですが、この講義では、これらの「娯楽文学」を通してグローバルな現代における「英文学」について考えてみたいと思います。
