Summary/Abstract: The present study presents and analyses the 'Dwelling' trope as it appears in Conrad's fiction as ports, cities and buildings. It approaches it ecocritically, to show how dwellings are a second nature of humans, both created by them and creating them. Conrad's cities and buildings are animate and agentic, foreshadowing the view of material ecocriticism.
