Más allá de la “etnografía de rescate” y los relatos de viajeros: los espacios imaginados en Lord Jim y Nostromo de Joseph Conrad
Beyond the “salvage ethnography” and travellers’ stories: imagined spaces in Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim and Nostromo

Summary/Abstract: In this article we intend to set out on an itinerary which will take us from the Malay space in Lord Jim (1900) to the Latin American one in Nostromo. A Tale of the Seaboard (1904). We posit that these spaces composed by the creative fabulation of the English-Polish writer Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) go beyond, respectively, the so called “salvage ethnography” in Lord Jim and the images coined by English travellers in Nostromo. Furthermore, as products of artistic creation, these spaces postulate worlds, that is, temporal-spatial wholes which surpass referentiality and mimesis.
