Resumen:Este artículo gira en torno al tratamiento de dos procesos singulares de confi guración identitaria, encarnados por la autora belga Claire Lejeune y el personaje de ficción Marlow (Heart of Darkness, de Joseph Conrad). La ansiedad ante la falta de referentes, la necesidad de forjarse un perfil público que legitime el discurso personal y las estrategias concebidas hermanan a ambos. Violentado o moldeado por la fuerza fálica o poética, el terreno yermo del continente inexplorado y de la hoja del cuaderno se ofrecen - respectivamente- al agente colonial y a la filósofa feminista. Creación ex nihilo aplicada a literatura y colonización.Palabras clave: Creatividad, blanco, colonizar, ansiedad, identidad.Title in English: Rewriting the emptiness: colonialism and feminism on the conquest of the blank space.The case of Joseph Conrad and Claire LejeuneAbstract:This article aims to reflect the treatment of identity process in both the Belgian writer Claire Lejeune and the fictional character of Marlow (in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness). They share the anxiety of the lack of references, as well as the neccesity of being made a public profile which supports their personal speech. Molded by the poetical or phallical strength, the blank page and the unexplored continent seduce both the feminist philosopher and the colonial agent. Ex nihil creation applied to literature and colonization.Keywords: Creativity, blank, colonize, anxiety, identity.
