• For references you may use whichever form of citation you are most comfortable and familiar with - footnotes, endnotes, or in-text citations.

• This is NOT a research paper, so you should NOT include material you have found on the internet or from the Haiti Research Paper - use only lecture, documentary, and film materials that are listed on the Syllabus for this class.

Question

 

In his article Discourse on Colonialism Aimé Cesaire claimed that colonization:艾梅·塞泽尔殖民主义话语在他的文章中声称，定植：

 

dehumanizes even the most civilized man; that colonial activity, colonial enterprise, colonial conquest, which is based on contempt for the native and justified by that contempt, inevitably tends to change him who undertakes it; that the colonizer, who in order to ease his conscience gets into the habit of seeing the other man as an animal, accustoms himself to treating him like an animal, and tends objectively to transform himself into an animal.甚至失去人性最文明的人，殖民活动，殖民征服，殖民企业蔑视，这是基于原生的和合理的，蔑视的，不可避免地会改变他，谁承担什么殖民者，为了减轻他的良心进入看到其他人作为一种动物，习惯于自己像动物一样对待他，并趋于客观化身为动物的习惯。

 

In other words, Cesaire argued that every colonizer underwent the same process of change that Mr. Kurtz experienced in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Kurtz noted in his report for the International Society for the Suppression of Savage Customs that Western technology meant European colonizers "must necessarily appear to them [savages] in the nature of supernatural beings - we approach them with the might as of a deity" and as a result Kurtz and his fellow colonizers could through "the simple exercise of our will ... exert a power for good virtually unbounded" (page 45, Dover edition). However, when Marlow finally reaches Kurtz's station he finds the heads of 'rebel' African tribesmen impaled upon stakes around Kurtz's compound as a warning to others of the dangers of defying Mr. Kurtz's wishes (pages 52-54, Dover edition). 

 

You should therefore write an essay in which you explain why you agree or disagree with Cesaire's statement that the act of colonizing dehumanizes the colonizer. You should respond directly to the arguments he puts forward in his quotation above (taken from his Discourse on Colonialism), and provide multiple examples to support your answer. Note; this is not about the natives, the colonized, but the colonizer, those doing the colonizing. 

 

You should draw on materials from ALL FOUR units of the class in your answer to provide multiple examples

 

You should include material from the lectures, films, and documentaries. However, you should NOT include any course readings or novels, or material you found for your Research Paper or examples that Cesaire himself uses in his article. You should draw your examples from as wide a span of history as possible, and from as wide a variety of mediums as possible (i.e. you should not use only Unit 1 or Unit 4 material, or use only lectures for examples, but draw from ALL 4 units of the class and a variety of mediums).#p#分页标题#e#
