This document summarizes critical responses to Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness from three time periods: 1) The early responses when it was published in 1902 which praised it as a literary achievement but ignored its treatment of race. 2) Chinua Achebe's 1977 critique that condemned the novella as racist. 3) Edward Said's 1993 defense of Conrad, contextualizing him as a product of his colonial era.

It discusses Kahlo's life experiences with illness, injury and her relationship with Diego Rivera, and how these experiences influenced her self-portraiture and other works. The document also analyzes specific paintings in depth, such as Still Life with Parrot and Flag and The Bride Frightened at Seeing Life Opened, exploring symbolic meanings and how they relate to events in Kahlo's life. It argues that even her still life paintings reflected herself and her personal experiences.
Achebe argues that Conrad's Heart of Darkness is a racist work that dehumanizes Africans, portraying the continent as a place of darkness and savagery. Harris rebuts that Achebe misinterprets Conrad, claiming the novel intentionally parodies colonial attitudes and that its descriptions serve metaphorical purposes. The document's authors argue Achebe was wrong due to willful misinterpretation, misguided rage, missing Conrad's point that the work is about humanity's capacity for darkness, and failing to properly critique Conrad's portrayal of Africa rather than calling him racist. While understanding Achebe's perspective, they maintain Heart of Darkness is not an overtly racist text.

Francophone diaspora literature reveals unstable worlds. In facts, the metamorphosis of the self would be a reflection of a number of unconventional narrative forms: reflexive territories whose benchmarks would be, mainly, at the level of migratory movements. Such a broad subject could be partially identified on the basis of a definite corpus. Two authors draw attention to this: Assia Djebar and Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine. Their respective works, L'Amour la fantasia and Une Odeur de mantèque, lead the recipient to a rather intriguing journey insofar as memory, enunciation and temporality intersect with the fields of otherness and de-territoriality. By means of a comparative approach, we propose a modest illumination on these inner-self and outer-self problematized spaces. Weighing with all their strenght on postmodernity, they still resonate in the 21st century with the critical margins of the collective unconscious.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Gabriel José de la Concordia Garcia Marquez known as Gabriel Garcia
Marquez, was a writer, novelist, short story writer, screenwriter, editor and
journalist Colombian. In 1982 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
His best known work, the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, is considered
one of the most representative of this literary genre and even believes that
his success is that such term applies to literature since the seventies. In 2007,
the Royal Spanish Academy and the Association of Spanish Language
Academies released a commemorative edition of this popular novel,
considered one of the great classics of all Hispanic times.
3. He is the son of Gabriel Eligio Garcia and Luisa Santiaga Iguarán Marquez , Gabriel Garcia Marquez was
born in Aracataca, in the department of Magdalena , Colombia .
He attended high school in San Jose in 1940 and finished his secondary education at the Liceo College of
Zipaquira , on December 12, 1946 . Was enrolled at the Faculty of Law, National University of Cartagena on
February 25, 1947 , although without showing excessive interest in studies . His friendship with the doctor and
writer Manuel Zapata Olivella allowed him access to the media . Garcia Marquez married in Barranquilla in
1958 with Mercedes Barcha , the daughter of an apothecary . In 1959 they had their first son, Rodrigo, who
became director ; and three years later gave birth to their second son, Gonzalo , currently a graphic
designer in Mexico City .
At twenty he published his first novel, " Leaf Storm " , which already showed the most characteristic , full of
boundless imagination features of his fiction .
But the global reputation of Garcia Marquez begins when published "One Hundred Years of Solitude " in
June 1967 , a week sold 8000 copies. Thereafter , success was assured , and the novel sold a new issue each
week , going to sell half a million copies in three years. It was translated into more than twenty languages ,
and won four international awards. Success had come at last and the writer was 40 when the world learned
his name. By correspondence of admirers , awards , interviews, appearances ; was obvious that his life had
changed. In 1969 the novel won the Chianchiano appreciates in Italy and was named the " Best Foreign
Book " in France . In 1970 , was published in English and was chosen as one of the twelve best books of the
year in the United States.
4. García Márquez began his career as a journalist while studying law at the
National University of Colombia. In 1948 and 1949 he wrote for El Universal in
Cartagena. Later, from 1950 until 1952, he wrote a "whimsical" column under
the name of "Septimus" for the local paper El Heraldo in Barranquilla. Garcia
Marquez noted of his time at El Heraldo, "I'd write a piece and they'd pay me
three pesos for it, and maybe an editorial for another three.“ During this time
he became an active member of the informal group of writers and journalists
known as the Barranquilla Group, an association that provided great
motivation and inspiration for his literary career. He worked with inspirational
figures such as Ramon Vinyes, whom Garcia Marquez depicted as an Old
Catalan who owns a bookstore in One Hundred Years of Solitude. At this time,
Garcia Marquez was also introduced to the works of writers such as Virginia
Woolf and William Faulkner. Faulkner's narrative techniques, historical themes
and use of rural locations influenced many Latin American authors. The
environment of Barranquilla gave Garcia Marquez a world-class literary
education and provided him with a unique perspective on Caribbean culture.
He was a regular film critic which drove his interest in film.
Journalism
5. After writing One Hundred Years of Solitude Garcia Marquez returned to Europe,
this time bringing along his family, to live in Barcelona, Spain, for seven years. The
international recognition Garcia Marquez earned with the publication of the novel
led to his ability to act as a facilitator in several negotiations between the
Colombian government and the guerrillas, including the former 19th of April
Movement , and the current FARC and ELN organizations. The popularity of his
writing also led to friendships with powerful leaders, including one with former
Cuban president Fidel Castro, which has been analyzed in Gabo and Fidel:
Portrait of a Friendship. It was during this time that he was punched in the face by
Mario Vargas Llosa in what became one of the largest feuds in modern literature.
In an interview with Claudia Dreifus in 1982 Garcia Marquez notes his relationship
with Castro is mostly based on literature: “Ours is an intellectual friendship. It may
not be widely known that Fidel is a very cultured man. When we’re together, we
talk a great deal about literature.” This relationship was criticized by Cuban exile
writer Reinaldo Arenas, in his 1992 memoir Antes de que Anochezca (Before Night
Falls).
Due to his newfound fame and his outspoken views on U.S. imperialism Garcia
Marquez was labeled as a subversive and for many years was denied visas by U.S.
immigration authorities. After Bill Clinton was elected U.S. president, he lifted the
travel ban and cited One Hundred Years of Solitude as his favorite novel.
Fame
6. Garcia Marquez was one of the original founders of QAP, a newscast that aired between 1992 and
1997. He was attracted to the project by the promise of editorial and journalistic independence. QAP
was a Colombian newscast aired between January 2, 1992 and December 31, 1997 on Canal A. It was
produced by the programadora TV13.
7. García Márquez met Mercedes Barcha while
she was in college; they decided to wait for her
to finish before getting married. When he was
sent to Europe as a foreign correspondent,
Mercedes waited for him to return to
Barranquilla. They were finally wed in 1958. The
following year, their first son, Rodrigo García,
now a television and film director, was born. In
1961, the family traveled by Greyhound bus
throughout the southern United States and
eventually settled in Mexico City. García
Márquez had always wanted to see the
Southern United States because it inspired the
writings of William Faulkner. Three years later
the couple's second son, Gonzalo, was born in
Mexico. Gonzalo is currently a graphic designer
in Mexico City.
8. Critics often describe the language that García Márquez's imagination produces as visual or graphic,
and he himself explains each of his stories is inspired by "a visual image," so it comes as no surprise that
he had a long and involved history with film. He was a film critic, he founded and served as executive
director of the Film Institute in Havana, was the head of the Latin American Film Foundation, and
wrote several screenplays. For his first script he worked with Carlos Fuentes on Juan Rulfo's El gallo de
oro. His other screenplays include the films Tiempo de morir (1966) and Un señor muy viejo con unas
alas enormes (1988), as well as the television series Amores difíciles (1991).
García Márquez also originally wrote his Eréndira as a third screenplay. However, this version was lost
and replaced by the novella. Nonetheless, he worked on rewriting the script in collaboration with Ruy
Guerra and the film was released in Mexico in 1983.
Several of his stories have inspired other writers and directors. In 1987, the Italian director Francesco
Rosi directed the movie Cronaca di una morte annunciata based on Chronicle of a Death Foretold.
Several film adaptations have been made in Mexico, including Miguel Littin's La Viuda de Montiel
(1979), Jaime Humberto Hermosillo's Maria de mi corazón (1979), and Arturo Ripstein's El coronel no
tiene quien le escriba (1998).
9. British director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) filmed Love in the Time of Cholera in
Cartagena, Colombia, with the screenplay written by Ronald Harwood (The Pianist). The film was
released in the U.S. on 16 November 2007.
His novel Of Love and Other Demons was adapted and directed by a Costa Rican filmmaker,
Hilda Hidalgo, who is a graduate of the Film Institute at Havana where García Márquez
frequently imparts screenplay workshops. Hidalgo's film was released in April 2010. The same
novel was adapted by Hungarian composer Péter Eötvös to form the opera Love and Other
Demons, premiered in 2008 at Glyndebourne Festival.
10. In 1999, García Márquez was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. Chemotherapy provided by a hospital in
Los Angeles proved to be successful, and the illness went into remission. This event prompted García
Márquez to begin writing his memoirs: "I reduced relations with my friends to a minimum, disconnected the
telephone, canceled the trips and all sorts of current and future plans", he told El Tiempo, the Colombian
newspaper, "...and locked myself in to write every day without interruption." In 2002, three years later, he
published Living to Tell the Tale (Vivir para Contarla), the first volume in a projected trilogy of memoirs.
In 2000, his impending death was incorrectly reported by Peruvian daily newspaper La República. The next
day other newspapers republished his alleged farewell poem, "La Marioneta," but shortly afterwards García
Márquez denied being the author of the poem, which was determined to be the work of a Mexican
ventriloquist.
He stated that 2005 "was the first [year] in my life in which I haven't written even a line. With my experience, I
could write a new novel without any problems, but people would realise my heart wasn't in it."
In May 2008, it was announced that García Márquez was finishing a new "novel of love" that had yet to be
given a title, to be published by the end of the year. However, in April 2009 his agent, Carmen Balcells, told
the Chilean newspaper La Tercera that García Márquez was unlikely to write again.
11. This was disputed by Random House Mondadori editor Cristobal Pera, who stated that García
Márquez was completing a new novel called We'll Meet in August (En agosto nos vemos).
In December 2008, García Márquez told fans at the Guadalajara book fair that writing had worn him
out. In 2009, responding to claims by both his literary agent and his biographer that his writing career
was over, he told Colombian newspaper El Tiempo: "Not only is it not true, but the only thing I do is
write".
In 2012, his brother Jaime announced that García Márquez was suffering from dementia.
In April 2014, García Márquez was hospitalized in Mexico. He had infections in his lungs and his
urinary tract, and was suffering from dehydration. He was responding well to antibiotics. Mexican
president Enrique Peña Nieto wrote on Twitter, "I wish him a speedy recovery". Colombian president
Juan Manuel Santos said his country was thinking of the author and said in a tweet "All of Colombia
wishes a speedy recovery to the greatest of all time: Gabriel García Márquez".
12. García Márquez died of pneumonia at the age of 87 on 17 April 2014 in Mexico City. His death
was confirmed by his relative Fernanda Familiar on Twitter, and by his former editor Cristóbal Pera.
The Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos mentioned: "One Hundred Years of Solitude and
sadness for the death of the greatest Colombian of all time". The former Colombian president
Álvaro Uribe Vélez said: "Master García Márquez, thanks forever, millions of people in the planet
fell in love with our nation fascinated with your lines". At the time of his death, he had a wife and
two sons.
Garcia Marquez was cremated at a private family ceremony in Mexico City. On 22 April, the
presidents of Colombia and Mexico attended a formal ceremony in Mexico City, where Garcia
Marquez had lived for more than three decades. A funeral cortege took the urn containing his
ashes from his house to the Palace of Fine Arts, where the memorial ceremony was held. Earlier,
residents in his home town of Aracataca in Colombia's Caribbean region held a symbolic funeral.[

15. García Márquez was inspired to write a dictator
novel when he witnessed the flight of Venezuelan
dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez. He shares, "it was the
first time we had seen a dictator fall in Latin
America." García Márquez began writing Autumn of
the Patriarch in 1968 and said it was finished in 1971;
however, he continued to embellish the dictator
novel until 1975 when it was published in Spain.
According to García Márquez, the novel is a "poem
on the solitude of power" as it follows the life of an
eternal dictator known as the General. The novel is
developed through a series of anecdotes related to
the life of the General, which do not appear in
chronological order. Although the exact location of
the story is not pin-pointed in the novel, the
imaginary country is situated somewhere in the
Caribbean.
16. One Hundred Years of Solicitude
Since Garcia Marquez was eighteen, he had wanted to write a novel based
on his grandparents' house where he grew up. However, he struggled with
finding an appropriate tone and put off the idea until one day the answer hit
him while driving his family to Acapulco. He turned the car around and the
family returned home so he could begin writing. His wife had to ask for food
on credit from their butcher and their baker as well as nine months of rent on
credit from their landlord. Fortunately, when the book was finally published in
1967 it became his most commercially successful novel, One Hundred Years of
Solitude, which sold more than 30 million copies. This novel was widely popular
and led to Garcia Marquez's Nobel Prize as well as the Romulo Gallegos Prize
in 1972. William Kennedy has called it "the first piece of literature since the
Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race,"
and hundreds of articles and books of literary critique have been published in
response to it. Despite the many accolades the book received, Garcia
Marquez tended to downplay its success. He once remarked: "Most critics
don't realize that a novel like One Hundred Years of Solitude is a bit of a joke,
full of signals to close friends; and so, with some pre-ordained right to
pontificate they take on the responsibility of decoding the book and risk
making terrible fools of themselves."
17. Ending in controversy, his last domestically written editorial for El Espectador
was a series of fourteen news articles in which he revealed the hidden story
of how a Colombian Navy vessel's shipwreck "occurred because the boat
contained a badly stowed cargo of contraband goods that broke loose on
the deck." García Márquez compiled this story through interviews with a
young sailor who survived the shipwreck. The publication of the articles
resulted in public controversy, as they discredited the official account of the
events, which had blamed a storm for the shipwreck and glorified the
surviving sailor.
In response to this controversy El Espectador sent García Márquez away to
Europe to be a foreign correspondent. He wrote about his experiences for El
Independiente, a newspaper which had briefly replaced El Espectador
during the military government of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla and was
later shut down by Colombian authorities.García Márquez's background in
journalism provided a foundational base for his writing career. Literary critic
Bell-Villada noted, "Owing to his hands on experiences in journalism, García
Márquez is, of all the great living authors, the one who is closest to everyday
reality."
18. Chronicle of a Death Foretold recreates a murder that took place in
Sucre, Colombia in 1951. The character named Santiago Nasar is
based on a good friend from García Márquez's childhood, Cayetano
Gentile Chimento. Pelayo classifies this novel as a combination of
journalism, realism and detective story.
The plot of the novel revolves around Santiago Nasar's murder. The
narrator acts as a detective, uncovering the events of the murder
second by second. Literary critic Ruben Pelayo notes that the story
"unfolds in an inverted fashion. Instead of moving forward... the plot
moves backwards." In the first chapter, the narrator tells the reader
exactly who killed Santiago Nasar and the rest of the book is left to
unfold why.
Chronicle of a Death Foretold was published in 1981, the year before
García Márquez was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. The
novel was also adapted into a film by Italian director Francesco Rosi in
1987.
19. Reality is an important theme in all of García Márquez's works. He said of his early works (with
the exception of Leaf Storm), "Nobody Writes to the Colonel, In Evil Hour, and Big Mama's
Funeral all reflect the reality of life in Colombia and this theme determines the rational structure
of the books. I don't regret having written them, but they belong to a kind of premeditated
literature that offers too static and exclusive a vision of reality."
In his other works he experimented more with less traditional approaches to reality, so that "the
most frightful, the most unusual things are told with the deadpan expression". A commonly
cited example is the physical and spiritual ascending into heaven of a character while she is
hanging the laundry out to dry in One Hundred Years of Solitude. The style of these works fits in
the "marvellous realm" described by the Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier and was labeled as
magical realism. Literary critic Michael Bell proposes an alternative understanding for García
Márquez's style, as the category magic realism is criticized for being dichotimizing and
exoticizing, "what is really at stake is a psychological suppleness which is able to inhabit
unsentimentally the daytime world while remaining open to the promptings of those domains
which modern culture has, by its own inner logic, necessarily marginalised or repressed."
García Márquez and his friend Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza discuss his work in a similar way,
20. García Márquez received the Nobel Prize in Literature on 8 December 1982 "for his novels and
short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of
imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts". His acceptance speech was entitled "The
Solitude of Latin America". García Márquez was the first Colombian and fourth Latin American to
win a Nobel Prize for Literature. After becoming a Nobel laureate, García Márquez stated to a
correspondent: "I have the impression that in giving me the prize, they have taken into account
the literature of the sub-continent and have awarded me as a way of awarding all of this
literature."
