Abstract
In the field of literary studies, Joseph Conrad’s masterpiece, Heart of Darkness (1899), has been extensively researched. Following the emergence of digital humanities, new methods of analysis on the novella have also been conducted; one of which focuses on Network Text Analysis (NTA) of the work (Hunter and Smith, 2014). In reaction to this, for the contribution of recent studies in literature, this essay attempts to perform an analysis on network construct between the Company and Kurtz (the two main nodes in the network) in Heart of Darkness using two web-based network analyzers: Voyant Tools and Cytoscape. The analysis refers to, to name a few, Ferguson’s (2017) observation on network in history and Jagoda’s (2016) observation on network aesthetics in novels. This essay ultimately seeks to map out the network linking the two nodes and see how postcolonial view on the visualization is conducted.
在文学研究领域，约瑟夫·康拉德的代表作《黑暗的心》(1899)得到了广泛的研究。随着数字人文学科的出现，对中篇小说的分析也出现了新的方法;其中一个重点是网络文本分析(NTA)的工作(Hunter and Smith, 2014)。为此，为了对最近的文献研究做出贡献，本文试图使用两个基于web的网络分析仪:Voyant Tools和Cytoscape，对《黑暗之心》中公司和库尔茨(网络中的两个主要节点)之间的网络结构进行分析。分析参考了Ferguson(2017)对历史中的网络的观察和Jagoda(2016)对小说中的网络美学的观察。本文最终试图绘制出连接这两个节点的网络，并看看后殖民观点是如何进行可视化的。
