Full textEighteenth-century travel accounts in New France describe the Native body abundantly. By analyzing these documents – mostly created for colonial or ecclesiastical authorities – this study shows that the textual and iconographic representations of the body play an active role in France’s imperial project. Knowledge of the Amerindian body, made it possible to maintain French-Native alliances, which were essential to the empire, and to reinforce the colonial bond. These representations also aimed to position the ‘Other’ remotely, in order to contemplate the colonization process. It appears that the French images of Aboriginal bodies were rich and complex and were much more than simple metaphors, mirrors of oneself, or tools of propaganda; instead, they created the possibility to act out the French colonial reality

The accounts written by the travellers mainly missionaries compose a document of great value in order to define the particular world representation of these times and to value the repercussions of such a travel experience on the conceptions inherited from the biblical and ancient tradition. The formal characteristics of these texts point out an evolution and help us to understand the progressive constitution of the journey narrative

Full textThe travel's acount is the production of the sensibility and the preoccupation of man and his civilisation. At the begining, the aim of travelling towards orient was the holly-land and the country of mongols discoverd by marco polo who gave the first classical western travel's account. With the renaissance and during the following centuries, by their material and socio-political evolution. Europ, particularly france, knew a true age of travelling (golden age). Since the end of sixteenth century to the end of nineteenth century, period when travelling to orient lost its vivacity, kurdistan, being the essentiel party of asia-minor, had been visited by a big number of travellers. During this long period, we have a rich and divers corpus, around thirty two travel's account. Kurdistan, the kurdish man and society had been seen and descripted in different manners : aspect of towns and villages, socio-political organization, the principauty and the political events of nineteenth century, tax, product and commerce, physical and psychological protrait of kurdish man and women, their costumes, their customs, their religion etc. The french travelle's who had visited kurdistan in seventeenth and nineteenth century are : sieur cesar lambert, sr.

Full textThe thesis is divided into three parts. Part 1. Study : giraldus cambrensis, the topographia hibernica and the representation of ireland in medieval litterature (203 p. ). First chapter deals with giraldus cambresis' life and works, complex relationship with wales, ecclesiastical and political career, personality and originality as a writer. Second chapter propounds an analysis of the topographia hibernica essentially of its documentary value. The outstanding representation of medieval ireland's reality must not hide another fictitious representation, the emergence of an "irish myth" wich had a fine future. Third chapter points out the metamorphoses of this myth in different fields of medieval literature - fiction, hagiography and history. Part 2. French translation of the topographia hibernica - of the whole text edited by j. F. Dimock in the rolls series - and indices (196 p. ). Part 3. Notes on the topographia hibernica - maps and bibliography (217 p. ). Notes are not only intended to point out the the text's difficulties, quotations of ancient and medieval authors, etc. . . , but also to provide, thanks to contemporary documents, or at least modern studies, an elucidation and an evaluation of the work

Full textThe aim of this doctoral work is to depict an image of “modern” Greece. We study the accounts by the French travellers who visited the East at the dawn of the Enlightenment (1665 – 1750). An analysis of the travels accounts allows us to observe the direct link existing between this literature and the cultural evolution of the French society. The political ambitions of France in the Orient and the diplomatic agreements established with the Sultan, such as the Capitulations that grant to the French important privileges, all these factors encourage several travellers to wander the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, and to visit Greece- then part of the Ottoman Empire. Though conceived as reference texts, the travel accounts speak of the authors themselves, of their personal history, of their erudition. An analysis of the various intertextual practices that can be found in these texts confirm their subjective nature. Often written in the first person, they are the personal achievements of the travellers, actors, authors and narrators. Acute or myopic observers as they may be, the travellers visit the Greek territory reporting information of paramount value for a sociological analysis of the life of the Greek people. The political administration and economy of the Empire is observed, as well as the commercial exchanges and the taxation system. Several aspects and episodes of the Greek reality capture the interest of the visitors. The people's activities, the orthodox Church and its ministers, the rites and the ceremonies, the songs and dances, the myths and superstitions, the customs of the locals, their domiciles and their language, all this is studied and offers us an clear vision. The vision of “modern” Greece by the French travellers in this dawn of the Enlightenment

Full textThis dissertation is based on the study of guide and travels books and essays both French and English on Paris and London during the nineteenth century (c. 1780-c. 1870). These texts aim to describe and explain the patterns of cities, which makes them in many ways the forerunners of geographical knowledge. The approach of urban space they propound has much to do with the city as spectacle or as object for consumption, but also considers their national status as a determining factor: moral, social and political criticism is bound up with comments on habitat, townscape, monumentality and urban patterns, as well as the inhabitants’ spatial practices. The discourse on these capital cities therefore contributes to a discursive construction of national identities in relation to urban space, and of urban identities strongly influenced by outsiders' views

Full textThe ancient texts, either geographical or not, offer us many cases of confusions between India and Ethiopia i. E. Anything relating to Africa is often named Indian and inversely. These many confusions whose a systematic inventory has been established appear in different fields: geography, history, mythology, fauna, flora and mineralogy. A careful study of all these texts allows us to understand much better the nature of this phenomenon. There is not a simple kind of confusion and the confusion is rarely a simple error. Particularly, it seems that Greek and roman people, contrary to the moderns, did not feel the confusion between India and Ethiopia as a problem. In others respects, this is not an uniform phenomenon. It has developed during the antiquity different evolutions, but it has been never really flagged. This analysis is completed with a thorough study of the texts written by authors who were inclined, more than others, to make confusions. The research of the causes of this phenomenon leads us to several directions. The Mesopotamian influence (the two meluhha) does not seem to be proved, but the Greek and roman way of thinking has led an important part. The geographical knowledge during the antiquity is a cause of confusion as well as the Indian Ocean trade which has fostered it. Finally, in certain cases, this phenomenon does not find its explanation in general causes but in individual causes which originates often in literature

Full textFrench people travelling to Austria during the XIXth century, more exactly from 1815 to 1914, are studied throug their travelogues, and using their correspondance, public and private records, as well as publications of that time. Firs, the travelogues are presented from a historical point of view. Then, the travellers themselves are briefly introduced. Next, travelling conditions and their evolution are detailed : the guides, the maps and the means of locomotion. The third part does not so much describe Austria as the outlook of those travellers on Austria : first, the contries sitting in the Reichrat after 1848, then Hungary, most importantly the various aspects of the cities and their evolution ; in those cities, the life of the various social classes, factory-workers and country folks being mostly ignored. During the last quarter of the studied time period, interest surges in economical questions, and above all political problems : the "Austria question" arise in french consciousness. The last chapters gather the tales of the Legitimists, who have visited the exiled Bourbons ; of various professionals and experts : physicians, who have studied the pedagogie and conditions of exercice of medicine, engeneers, merchants, economists, militaries ; of politicians ; of artists ; writers, numerous musicians, sculptors. The conclusion tries to evaluate the relevance of those travellers outlook, possibly conditioned or superficial

Full textThis research is aimed by the project of defining the poetic of the literary genre of travel account, between the end of eighteenth century and the end of nineteenth century. This work stands at the crossing between literature, anthropology and history of ideas. It shows the existence of travel discourses on Subsaharian Africa, which inscribes against the stream in relation to the majority of the other discourses produced and diffused in Europe during the analysed period. This thesis is focused on the different phases of writing, publication and reception of François Le Vaillant, Carlo Piaggia and Mary Kingsley's works. Coming from different European countries, according to their pluridisciplinary formation, these tree travellers' works represent a subject of research which proves extremely pertinent in a interdisciplinary analysis, and which underlines a new approach of a kind of discourse often neglected

Full textIn the XIXth century, important historic events encouraged the European travelers to discover North Africa and Sahara. The French travelers to Libya participated in these discoveries. J. R. Pacho went to contemplate the ruins of Cyrénaïque. H. Duveyrier dedicates his journey to the delight of Sahara and to the discovery of the population Touareg. V. Largeau makes journeys to Ghadamès to tie up commerce connections. P. L. Monteil crosses Africa, from Saint Louis of Senegal to Tripoli, within the framework of a military mission. Mehier de Mathuisieulx and Léon Pervinquière were given political and scientific missions in Libya. The different routes and the objectives of the travelers echo on their stories. The representations of the natural and urban landscapes are a big centre of interest for the travelers. The stage settings of Libyan described by the travelers present an original image of Libya in the travel literature of the XIXth century

Full textThe thesis studies the journeys and travel relations of Italian, French and English travellers, visiting Lapland and Finland from the 15th to the 19th century. It aims to classify the various typologies of travellers and travel relations to northern countries. After an introduction on the geo-historical context, on problems concerning bibliographical research and on the knowledge of northern Europe during the Antiquity and the Middle Age, the thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter focuses on travellers and their journeys (organisation and development of the journey - guides, companions, itineraries, transports, accommodation, accidents). The second analyses travel relations (their typologies and structures as well as the peculiarities of northern-European cultures that triggered the curiosity of travellers). The third deals with a choice of seven texts that acquired particular importance in travel literature as models, becoming reference texts for subsequent travellers. The thesis also includes an appendix, featuring short biographies of all the travellers that were taken into account in the course of the research (about seventy), as well as a photographical and cartographical dossier

Full textEarly modern travel narratives endlessly put to the fore recurring narrative or descriptive configurations. The “Topic of the island” - that is, the whole system of commonplaces or topoï consistently and predictably present in these texts - neither determines perceptive or cognitive uniformity, nor prompts the reader's boredom, despite the lasting prejudice that it does so. In truth, a commonplace is a joint treasure, which each traveller appropriates by modifying any of its constitutive topical elements. The island thus described is “never quite the same, nor someone else”. This study of the “Topic of the island” demonstrates that insular representations partly relate to utopia, that referential reality is progressively invested with cultural meanings through the successive and various uses of topoï, and that these commonplaces are flexible material – they sometimes degrade into legendary, but they rarely disappear

Full textThis thesis presents in its first part 42 French travellers coming from different social spheres, endowed with various educating levels, who travelled in the Scandinavian countries during the 17th and 18th centuries. They have left printed traces of their travels that were done for different purposes such as diplomacy, business, religion, tourism and, particularly in the 18th century, sciences. Influenced by the spirit of the great discovery travels, minded-educated and motivated by the growing teaching of geography, even practised at the highest levels of the kingdom, these travellers describe their itinerary, their way of living, the people they met, the diplomatic circles, the landscapes, the climate, the languages they spoke, the culture and leisure life, the importance of the Sund strait, and also the typically exotic matter of the time, Lapland that some travellers visited. The travellers came back home, feeling themselves like "citizens of the world". The thesis describes also how these relations were written, then printed, quotes which works were translated and how many editions they got, and brings an undeniable contribution to the history of travel literature. The second part gives for each traveller some biographical data, the list of his works and the different French and foreign bibliographical comments that the publication brought about. Finally more than a thousand archives and bibliographical data and 15 attached documents complete and finish off the thesis

Full textThrough the narratives of French travelers in the Amazon region, a mythical world reappears, inspired by a collective cultural heritage. One century after the discovery of the Amazon region, the French travelers and chroniclers offer their visions of the Spanish and Portuguese conquests. Thus, they expose the resurrection of two principal myths that they associate with the exploration of the Amazon: the Amazones, women warriors, and El Dorado. Superimposing the travelers' narratives and their recourse to myths allows us to realize their classical predispositions and their desire to encourage the exploration with an imaginary lure. Constrained to apply their own realities to the unknown, the chroniclers transform the objective realities into imagination. This text addresses the imagination that arises from the confrontation between the unknown and the cultural background of the travelers in the Amazon region. The link between myth and reality is dissolved. It is progressively substituted, initially by a demystifying scientific approach, and then by romanticism in the form of an exalted attitude towards the other which marks the beginning of the era of Enlightenment
Aubry, Marie-Christine. "Les visages de Djibouti à travers les récits de voyage." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040170.
Full textThis former french colony, called the Republic of Djibouti since 1977, has long been a foot note to history, and remains unrecognized : it was first mentionned by a foreigner in 1708, and then not, until 1841 by Charles Rochet d'Hericourt. The travellers - nearly all of them french-speaking people - explorers, tradesmen,civil servants or ordinary tourists, who have been more and more numerous to come in Djibouti for a century and a half, have left several hundred varied pieces of work, oftendifficult to find (articles, accounts or chronicles, anecdotical memories, a few novels) presenting common features : very few are solely devoted to Djibouti, which remains a place of transit towards Ethiopia, Arabia or the harbours of the Indian ocean ;on the other hand, they are quite a lot of works, sometimes only fragments, in which Djibouti is depicted as a land of barrenness, death and barbarity (part I - travels and travellers). The very hazardous travelling conditions of the XIXth century may partly account for this grim outlook on the landscapes, the populations and the ways of living (part II - sights). But, very soon, these descriptions congealed into cliches. Often depreciated to the point of being considered as the antichamber of hell ; sometimes idealized by adventurers, nature lovers and mystics ; always distorted by the wellknown processes of caricature (excess, schematization and assimilation) Djibouti feeds the foreigner's fantasms : against their will, the travellers create and spread mythical interpetations and his true face is concealed (part III - myth and reality). The Djiboutians are, no doubt, the only ones able to define and unveil their authenticity, if they want to do. Neverthe less, the foreigner's opinion, however partial and onesided, can't be deliberately ignored

Full textOwing to its localization at the periphery of Poland, Russian and the Holy Roman Empire, the function of the duchy of Courland in the second part of the 18th century was more important than its real political and economic signification, on the one hand because the Aufklärer saw it as a place where one could strive for putting the ideas of Enlightenment to the test, and try to exercice a cultural influence, and on the other hand because the journalists, travellers and writers considered it as an observation post of their epoch. Its functioning allows to look into some of the main questions of the time of the Spätaufklärung. Several types of inner and outer interactions between different constellations of actors can be registered, including especially duke Peter Biron (1724-1800), the courlandic nobility, protestant German-speaking intellectual circles, the latvian population, and european courts

Chouaa, Mohamed. "L'Espagne et le Maroc dans le Voyage pittoresque du Baron Taylor." Paris 3, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA030001.
Full textThe intention of this study is to carry into the imagery of the baron Taylor’s voyage pittoresque. Painter, writer, traveler and great figure of XIXth century, Taylor was also an enterprising man, a kindly person, a protector, but also stern and uncompromising. He was a government commissioner of the theatre francais, the author of a monumental work (voyages pittoresques dans l'ancienne France), the representative of France to collect the Spanish gallery of the Louvre’s museum, to bring back the Louqsor's obelisk, the patron of numerous associations and mutual benefit societies in favor of artists, men of letters, etc. Interrogating baron Taylor about his reactions, about his spanish and moroccan vision, about the quality of this one, and about his predecessors part in all his works, constitutes the main interest of this study. So, Spain which has provoked outrage and indignation or derision during XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, arouses interest in the Taylor’s conscience but critic also. As regards morocco, this country means, for him, several things at the same time or many outlines: the arabic orient (but an uncertain and arbitrary orient opposite an economically and scientifically powerful occident), Islam, Africa (particularly white regard to his strange and unusual appearance). We did not omit to treat, in this study, the problem of exotism and orientalism which had in Taylor’s mind political, religious and ideological implications

This work is composed of two volumes. The first volume is reserved for a general presentation of the geography and history of laos and luang prabang (in its historical, religious and architectural context), followed by a detailed study of luang prabang's temples (their history, their general characters) and the decorative art of these buddhist buildings. The volume closes with a comparison between luang prabang's art and the art of the other areas of laos, and with a further comparison between that art and the art of neighbouring countries (burma, thailand, cambodia and china). The second volume is constitued of drawing and plates, and photographs of the sutided monuments, either no longer extant or still on existence

Full textThe island of Crete, formely one of the most attractive centres of the Eastern Mediterranean, became progressively so misknown that when some French travelers Savary in 788 and Raulin in 1845, visited it, they experienced real exploration travels. The uprising occured in 1866 and in 1897 attracted the interest of the French and resulted in their involvement in the Cretan question. Their travel reports composed between 1788 and 1898 show a keen interest for Crete during the whole 19th century. These texts help detecting the evolution and the transformation of the attitude of the French travellers and writers, as well as the evolution of different literary, political, and social ideas in France

Full textThe dissertation titled « Pierre Lacour’s Trip to Rome (1855): 1824-1825 Italy through the eyes of a Bordelese painter » is the study of a travel narrative entitled Trip to Rome, which is conserved at the Municipal Library of Bordeaux. The author of this manuscript is the painter, engraver and scholar Pierre Lacour the younger (1778-1859) who recounts in this text the trip he took to Italy from 1824 to 1825. This text which was written around 1855, thirty years after the trip and which comprises 6 volumes, is based on the notes he took during his voyage. Along with the travel narrative, each volume consists of images of the places the traveller visited. Some of the pictures are the very own Pierre Lacour’s own work (drawings and sketches he made during his travel as well as the engravings he later produced from these sketches), on the other hand other pictures he bought during his trip (maps of Italian cities, engravings of monuments). This dissertation examines the manuscript from three different angles: first as a text in the travel narrative genre and especially writings on travels in Italy showing the evolution from 1700 to 1800, secondly as a text testifying to the author’s taste and sensibility, finally as a testimony of the links between Bordeaux and Italy at the time notably the role that Italian art and culture played in the work of artists and notable citizens of Bordeaux between the 18th century and 19th century

Full textThe thesis consists of the critical edition of an unpublished narrative of pilgrimage of 1606-1607. After a historical presentation of real and imaginary in the narratives of real travels (related by soldiers, ambassadors, missionaries, merchants, explorers or pilgrims) and imaginary ones, we study the specific aspects of the text. We try to describe its author an anonymous woman of high society-, its kind, which can be said a spiritual pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and its organization : we've especially identified three texts which have inspired the author : a pilgrimage guide-book and two meditations books. Then, before the scientific edition of the text, we compare it with the three texts and value the importance of imitation, the strength of imagination and the literary worth of the text

Full textThis work aims at studying the grasping how the knowledge were grasped in France during the first part of the XIXth century through the example of the work of the traveller Frédéric Cailliaud, from Nantes (1787-1869). First the purpose of this work is to retrace the journey and the discoveries of Cailliaud in Egypt and Nubia by rereading his travel books and to highlight the contribution of his work to the birth of egyptology. This epistemological research allowed to define the actors of the french scientific society between 1819 and 1869 and to expalin the support of the State to research by national institutions like The Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. Secondly, through a museographical inquiry, the archaeological collections brough back to France by the traveller have been found in a lot of museums. These have been spread since the XIXth century
D'Souza, Florence. "Les voyageurs français en Inde (1757-1818)." Paris 3, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA030067.
Full textThe writings of the French travellers in India between 1757 - 1818 reflect the receptivity of the century of enlightenment towards other civilisations. Historically these dates mark the period between the decline of moghul power & the gradual expansion of British power in India, the French having abandoned all plans of political presence there since the departure of Dupleix in 1754. Among the 135 French travellers of whom we have found traces, 75 have written accounts of their stay in India. We have selected nine as privileged witnesses in this study which is divided into 3 parts. The first part is about the traveller-biography, conditions of travel, itinerary, reasons for travel writings & facts about India known in Europe at the time. In the 2nd part we present the country & its objects as seen by the travellers-regions visited, products sought after by the French, methods of their fabrication & land ownership (linked to oriental despotisms) with reference to the economic fabric & administrative institutions. In the 3rd part we deal with Indian society- the caste system & the travellers' particular mention of bankers, burned widows & temple dancers ; customs & beliefs of the Indians, certain travellers having delved into the significance of rituals & religious texts+ finally, the characteristics of homo indianus as portrayed by them. Their bewilderment & critical remarks as well as their version of current events (now part of history) lead us to conclude that they were lucid observers in direct contact with the country. They were impressed by extra-ordinary or barbaric aspects
Siary, Gérard. "Les voyageurs européens au Japon de 1853 à 1905." Paris 4, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988PA040018.
Full textThis thesis is concerned with the image of japan as seen through the eyes of European travellers from 1853 to 1905 and mainly relies on travel narratives. It first shows that at the eve of Perry’s expedition, japan was known to the west from recorded sources and described as a utopian country. It next examines the traveller's personal itineraries as they blended into a collective image of japan. It then proceeds to study the relationship between each separate aspect (i. E. , touristic, literary, scholarly) of the image and the genre of the text which supported it. It appears that the influence of japonism was decisive in the shaping of the image of a picturesque and art-skilled japan, against which stood out the image of a modern and warlike japan though not entirely devoid of any aesthetic hue

Full textBetween 1860 and 1914, the magazine "Le Tour du monde" provides with its wealth of illustrated texts, ideal source material for an exploration of the French imagination, post and present. Among the regions described is Oceania. This complex configuration of alluring images feeds an exoticism that was born of the Enlightenment, fashioned by the contradictions of industrial age and sustained throughout the colonial massacres. The antipodean travelogues of "Le Tour du monde" provide a filter for a reality that is no more. They invite us to journey in space and time through the subtle interplay of image and narrative and so bring us to an awareness of our own foreignness. The publication is a mine of information as well as a vast and unique map but above all it highlights the essential value of the fragment. For it is the fragment alone that can enable us delicately to grasp that which eludes us, the real world. Through a study of "Le Tour du monde" we can explore one of the facets of the history of representation : our perception of the foreigner. We can reassess this figure that is at once our other self and an openness. And it is only through the horizontal discipline of human science that we may even contemplate this labyrinthic journey

Full textCalifornia was a borderland, more or less real for Voltaire, today it still remains a receptacle of fantasies of all sorts and represents a unique image of Americaness. During the decades following the Gold Rush, which had attracted attention from the whole world upon California, and through the eyes of travelers, this young State became civilized all the while keeping its own identity within the Union. How this period spreading until the eve of World War I contribute to the topical image of California as a land a dream, excess and innovation which remains so contemporary ? This research is based on a large corpus of francophone authors who went to California as tourists, diplomats, missionaries, scientists, business men or emigrants from various European countries and French Canada and who were published either in their homeland, in another francophone country or more rarely in California. The historico-thematic approach used in this dissertation is meant to enlight the perceptions and stereotypes of these travelers that have to be understood from their cultural relations with California, as well as the collective fiction coming from visions created through the observation and written retranscription of the Californian nature, ressources, achievements and society

Full textOrient, beaches and castles. Toutist practices, impressions and policy in spain between 1830 and 1928 sets out to prove the diversity of spanish tourism over a long period. Side by side with romantic tourism (1830-1860), this study paves the way to discovering the recreational activities that accompanied both "taking the waters" - a practice which was not very widespread in spain- and medicinal bathing is its early stages, mainly in the bay of cadiz and along the coasts of the basque and alicante regions. At this time, owing the medical precepts and the taste for exploring, the discovery of the principal mountain ranges also took place : the pyrenees, the sierra nevada and the picos de europa. The completion of the main railway lines marked a threshold in the development of tourism, as regards both quantity and quality. Detailed statistics concerning the transport of travellers from one station to another on the madrid-irun line between 1876 and 1882 make it possible to find out which were the chosen destinations. Santander, but above all san sebastian were more often chosen than towns with monuments. An analysis of the statistics drawn up by san sebastian town council concerning visitors and residents between 1886 and 1925 enables us to follow the evolution of the number of turists. A study of the town's tourist policy shows the initiatives taken, the choices made and the deficiencies that remained. An analysis of the first initiatives taken by the state (comision nacional, 1905 ; comisaria regia de turismo, 1911) clearly shows the priority given to cultural tourism, a mistrust of the private sector and abortive attempts at development. The study ends at the time of the founding of the patronato nacional de turismo (1928), an organization wich will be analysed later

Full textA corpus of thirty-eight guides and travel books published in french during the seventeenth century permits the study of the image of Italy. Reading them gives informations about their material aspects, the authors and the reasons that led them to travel and to write, the italian space and especially the city, and finally the inhabitants of the peninsula. It also ables to point out that the authors were submitted to a sort of a literary style in which alternated commonplaces and personal remarks about history, cities, buildings, religion and political institutions. Far from staying unaltered, this literary style develops during the whole century: the impression becomes more critical and informs us about Italy as much as about travel books authors
