| Summary: | Joseph Conrad in Heart of Darkness calls for the suppressed species on humanitarian grounds. In this sense, this paper aims to dredge how the suppressed species utter their voices of rebellion and form a special soundscape. The African natives make use of unique ways of drumming and shouting, to tell how they are enslaved and how they resist the domination of the British pilgrims. In the meanwhile, the black female also uses voices to rebel against her marginal condition compared to males, including white and her native males. By putting the story’s sound narrative in the framework of ecofeminism, this paper intends to not only disclose the rebellious spirit of those suppressed species, but also raise people’s awareness of caring for the living creatures in the marginal status, including women, the blacks, animals, and the ecological environment as a whole. |
