Varia: Sacrificial Motifs

Summary/Abstract: Treating the imperial experience as its departure point, the article identifies a parallel relationship between the empire and the people reflected by the relationship between a man and a woman, the former presented as a noble savage the latter as a victim of the imperialist situation. The space outlined between them is however further complicated by the counter-character of the “man of culture” who interrupts the purity of the idyllic environment and contaminates it with historical and ideological dilemmas illustrated, among other works, in Dostoyevsky’s novels.
