The article focuses on the interrelationships between the famous Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness, a documentary film by Marcin Mamon Man in his Forties will be a Smuggler (2009). The film is a journey into Conrad’s „heart of darkness”, the deep jungles of the Congo. It is also a journey into yourself. The director asks the question: how not to be evil, adhering to the absolute principles which governed the jungle? Article takes the form of an essay, the purpose of which is to show some possibilities of interpretation for the two different forms of artistic expression. The method of analysis begins with connecting elements indicate the test material, then refers to the typology of travel and confronts attitudes travelers. It turns out that Conrad’s „heart of darkness” is not only still exists, but today, in the contact of two civilizations, it is even more grim, ruthless and cruel.

Since 1989 (the fall of Communism) the performing arts in Bulgaria have suffered a long process of transition dominated by a certain dialectic tension between the necessity to meet economic needs and the desire to open new venues for dramatic art. Against this background and contributing its own perceptive “reading” of Heart of Darkness to Conrad’s Bulgarian reception, on the eve of the vigorous celebration of his 160th anniversary in 2017, stage director Valeria Valcheva’s theatrical adaptation represents a remarkable debut rendition of Conrad’s fiction. The aim of this article is to explore how her idiosyncratic, creative, poetically recognizable approach lends a new form to Conrad’s recurrent relocation in modern and contemporary Bulgarian art.

W studium usiłuję wykazać, jak w tekstualnym planie Jądra ciemności Josepha Conrada funkcjonuje tzw. polskoromantyczna intertekstualność. Nie rozstrzygając zarazem ostatecznie, czy kształtująca się relacja intertekstualna manifestuje się poprzez aluzje, czy poprzez reminiscencje, wyróżniam wiązkę prototypowych, polskoromantycznych intertekstów, które – jak uważam – mogą pozostawać kluczowe w procesie kontekstowej lektury dzieła Conrada. Są to z jednej strony dzieła Adama Mickiewicza – Pan Tadeusz, Ustęp III części Dziadów, Księgi narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego, z drugiej – niemniej funkcjonalne w wypadku Jądra ciemności – Anhelli Juliusza Słowackiego czy polska gawęda szlachecka – w rodzaju Pamiątek Soplicy Henryka Rzewuskiego. W porównaniu – bezpośrednio posługuję się metodą close reading, pośrednio zaś – wykorzystuję strategie widmontologicznego i palimpsestowego czytania tekstu literatury. Dyskutuję także z conradystycznym status quo, polemizując m.in. z ujęciem postaci arlekina obecnym w najklasyczniejszych, światowych odczytaniach Heart of Darkness: Škvorecký’ego, Burgessa, d’Avanza, Canaria i innych.

In the study I attempt to demonstrate how so called Polish-Romantic intertextuality runs in the textual plan of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Without concluding ultimately whether the forming intertextual relation is manifested here through allusions or through reminiscences, I distinguish a bunch of prototypical, Polish-Romantic intertexts which, as I suppose, may remain crucial in the process of contextual reading of Conrad’s masterpiece. On the one hand, these are the works of Adam Mickiewicz – Pan Tadeusz, Forefathers’ Eve Part III, The Books and the Pilgrimage of the Polish Nation, on the other – still functional in the case of Heart of Darkness – Juliusz Słowacki’s Anhelli as well as Polish ‘gaweda szlachecka’ represented by Henryk Rzewuski’s Soplica’s Memoirs. In comparing – I use the close reading method directly, and indirectly – the strategies of the hauntology and palimpsest reading of the literature. I also discuss the conradists’ status quo – polemizing among others with the representation of the Harlequin’s motive present in the most classic world readings of Heart of Darkness: Škvorecký’s, Burgess’s, d’Avanza’s, Canaria’s and others.
