Abstract:
This article revisits, analyzes and critiques Bruce Chatwin’s 1987 bestseller, The Songlines, more than three decades after its publication. In Songlines, the book primarily responsible for his posthumous celebrity, Chatwin set out to explore the essence of Central and Western Desert Aboriginal Australians’ philosophical beliefs. For many readers globally, Songlines is regarded as a—if not the—definitive entry into the epistemological basis, religion, cosmology and lifeways of classical Western and Central Desert Aboriginal people. It is argued that Chatwin’s fuzzy, ill-defined use of the word-concept “songlines” has had the effect of generating more heat than light. Chatwin’s failure to recognize the economic imperative underpinning Australian desert people’s walking praxis is problematic: his own treks through foreign lands were underpropped by socioeconomic privilege. Chatwin’s ethnocentric idée fixe regarding the primacy of “walking” and “nomadism,” central to his Songlines thématique, well and truly preceded his visits to Central Australia. Walking, proclaimed Chatwin, is an elemental part of “Man’s” innate nature. It is argued that this unwavering, preconceived, essentialist belief was a self-serving construal justifying Chatwin’s own “nomadic” adventures of identity. Is it thus reasonable to regard Chatwin as a “rogue author,” an unreliable narrator? And if so, does this matter? Of greatest concern is the book’s continuing majority acceptance as a measured, accurate account of Aboriginal belief systems. With respect to Aboriginal desert people and the barely disguised individuals depicted in Songlines, is Chatwin’s book a “rogue text,” constituting an act of epistemic violence, consistent with Spivak’s usage of that term?

Abstract:
Este trabalho é um estudo do romance O vice-rei de Ouidah, de Bruce Chatwin (13/05/1940 –18/01/1989). Investiga um determinado percurso das trocas interatlânticas decorrentes da migração forçada de sujeitos escravizados vindos da África ficcionalizado por Chatwin, com foco em estudos recentes de Laurentino Gomes e em outros já clássicos como os de Alberto da Costa e Silva, Robin Law e Elisée Soumonni, dentre outros. Os impactos desses processos traumáticos representados por Bruce Chatwin nos levam a apontar o trânsito interatlântico como tema essencial na construção de saberes acerca da formação cultural brasileira e que merece ser incorporado em nossa bibliografia crítica.

Abstract:
Wonderer is a screenplay about the life of writer/traveler Bruce Chatwin. The screenplay examines not only Chatwin's travels and writing, but also the landscape which he never fully explored: his inner-world. This reflective analysis will focus on the relationship between Bruce Chatwin's writing - especially in The Songlines- and the ways in which the book's subject matter and style influenced the choices in content and form which I made in writing Wonderer.

Abstract:
Complexe, hétéroclite, mêlant autobiographie, récit de voyage, et roman, l'œuvre de Bruce Chatwin (1940-89) est difficilement classable. Mais elle trouve sa cohérence dans la théorie chatwinienne selon laquelle l'homme est "naturellement nomade", l'histoire de la civilisation un conflit immuable entre nomadisme et sédentarité. La théorie s’articule au fil des livres autour d'une dialectique entre « dépaysement » et « ressourcement », avec d'une part les thèmes récurrents de l'exil, du voyage-guérison, de la fuite de l'histoire, et de l'autre ceux de l'enracinement, du voyage-quête et du retour aux sources. Or, cette dialectique constitue la véritable dynamique de l'œuvre. Elle reflète le débat jamais résolu chez Chatwin entre l'ascète et l'esthète, l'errant et l'intellectuel, le voyageur et le chercheur. Dans les derniers récits, elle s'oriente vers une exploration de l'alchimie entre écriture et voyage, création et réalité, et l'éternelle dualité entre état et devenir<br>Complex, heteroclite, a mixture of autobiography, travel-writing, and novel, the work of Bruce Chatwin (1940-89) is hard to classify. It derives its coherence from the author's theory that man is a born nomad, and the history of civilization an unending conflict between nomadism and settlement. Over successive narratives, the theory is structured around a dialectic between 'disorientation' and 'renewal', with on the hand the recurrent themes of exile, of the journey-as -curative, and the retreat from history, and on the other those of rootedness, of the journey-as-quest, and the return to origins, this dialectic constitutes the real dynamic of Chatwin's work. It reflects the unresolved debate between the ascetic and the aesthete, the wanderer and the intellectual, the traveller and the researcher within him. With the last books, it opens out into an exploration of the alchemy between writing and travel, creation and reality, and the eternal duality between being and becoming

Abstract:
This thesis is centrally concerned with the theme of restlessness within the work of the British author Bruce Chatwin. Critical interpretation of Chatwin’s work has tended to focus on the generic and political status of the five full-length works he produced during his lifetime, exploring the theoretical implications of the author’s formal approach. This concentration on the structural and ideological elements of Chatwin’s creative output has resulted in the substantive thematic material of the works being somewhat overlooked. The following analysis intends to redress this balance, focussing specifically on the creative representation of the key theme of restlessness within Chatwin’s body of work. This thesis will explore the topic of restlessness through an analysis of both the author’s published work and the embargoed archive of Chatwin’s notebooks, diaries and manuscripts that resides in the Bodleian Library, the majority of which has never before been made available to critical scrutiny. Drawing on this important and previously unstudied archive, which includes the manuscript of Chatwin’s first unpublished work, known as “The Nomadic Alternative”, the following thesis will examine the origins and development of the theme of restlessness, which can be seen as Chatwin’s chief literary preoccupation; a condition that he perceived as endemic to the human species, and which he argued crucially influenced both the individual possibility of discovering satisfaction in one’s life and the wider likelihood of attaining social harmony. Tracing Chatwin’s interest in the subject from its earliest literary manifestation in “The Nomadic Alternative”, this thesis intends to document the development of the author’s consistent engagement with the notion of restlessness, examining both his literary representation of the affliction as well as presenting an analysis of his theory of human movement.

Abstract:
En aquest estudi examino dos elements innovadors en l'estil narratiu de Bruce Chatwin. El primer correspon a la seva aproximació antropològica a la literatura, el segon correspon a la seva nova manera d'abordar la percepció visual. Pel que fa al primer element, el meu argument és que els conceptes de liminalitat i communitas són els eixos centrals de la seva poètica, fet que atorga a la seva obra unitat ideològica i coherència temàtica. La meva premissa fonamental és que a través dels seus cronotops i personatges liminals confereix tota una nova dimensió de veritat a la narració. A més, la liminalitat el permet construir una nova representació de subjectivitat basada en la naturalesa metamòrfica de l'home per una banda i en la inclusió i ficcionalització de les obsessions personals en el procés de creació literària per l'altra. Finalment, la liminalitat el permet reconèixer la dualitat humana -amb tot el dolor que aquest reconeixement implica-i que ell transmet amb un to compassiu i alhora irònic. Mitjançant el concepte de communitas Chatwin legitima en part la seva manca de compromís polític i justifica la seva actitud envers Englishness, nacionalitat i universalisme. Communitas també dóna sentit a la seva creença en la fusió de forma i contingut en narrativa. Pel que fa al segon element, Chatwin mostra una manera peculiar de veure el món basada en una cerca de tot allò que és estrany, misteriós i extraordinari. També vol captar la subjectivitat sense intervenir: l'autor és un testimoni més que un intrús. La visualització de Chatwin genera un estil del "no passa res" per una banda, i defuig la posa, els simulacres i les vistes panoràmiques per l'altra. A més l'autor dóna prioritat a l'asimetria a fi d'eludir coartacions en la forma i refermar la seva idea que la realitat/l'home s'està fent constantment. La seva visió és democràtica, fruit d'una percepció policèntrica de la realitat i del respecte per les múltiples identitats dins l'individu: Chatwin insta a "veure-les" i a reconèixer-les totes. <br/>El meu estudi també analitza el paper pioner de Chatwin en la literatura de viatges moderna. L'autor qüestiona i subverteix la forma i el contingut del gènere i forneix els relats de viatges amb una nova taxonomia. El viatger es veu immers en una nova geografia de l'aventura en la qual la cerca ja no és de reportatge, triomf o autodescobriment sinó que és una recerca estètica. <br/>La meva tesi també conclou que la seva manera tan personal de percebre la realitat a casa i a fora de casa va fer que Chatwin percebés la seva pròpia realitat d'una manera diferent: es va definir a sí mateix mitjançant una forma de subjectivitat no-convencional i així va crear una representació d'identitat i veritat diferent de la que s'espera trobar en relats autobiogràfics.<br>This study examines two innovative elements of Bruce Chatwin's narrative style. The first corresponds to his anthropological approach to writing, the second is his new mode of visual perception. As to the first, I argue that the concepts of liminality and communitas are the central axes of his poetics, thus conferring ideological wholeness and thematic coherence on his work. My underlying premise is that through his liminal chronotopes and personae he adds a whole new dimension of truth to storytelling. Besides liminality enables him to construct a new representation of subjectivity based on the metamorphosing nature of man on the one hand and on the inclusion and fictionalisation of personal obsessions in the process of literary creation on the other. Finally, liminality enables him to acknowledge human duality (with the pain that such recognition means) and in turn transfer this recognition in a both humorous and compassionate mood. Through the concept of communitas Chatwin partly faces his non¬committal political agenda while finding an identifiable way to justify his stance towards Englishness, nationality and universalism. Communitas also gives meaning to his belief in the fusion of form and content within storytelling. As to the second, Chatwin's way of seeing based on a search for both the uncanny and the miraculous determines his style of the uneventfulness on the one hand, and leads him to avoid simulacra, pose and panoramic visions on the other. My findings reveal that he foregrounds asymmetry in order to replace constraint in form and justify his belief in reality/man being constantly in the making. His is a democratic visualisation, born out of both a polycentric perception of reality and the respect for the multiple identities within the individual: Chatwin urges the need to "see" and acknowledge them all. <br/>This study also assesses Chatwin's pioneering role in modern travel literature. The writer questions and subverts the form and the content of the genre and provides travel writing with a new taxonomy. The figure of the traveller becomes involved in a new geography of adventure in which the quest is no longer a search of reportage, victory or self-discovery but an aesthetic search in which the landscapes are created first in the imagination. <br/>Finally, my study also concludes that Chatwin's particular way of perceiving reality both abroad and at home made him perceive his own reality in a different way: he defined himself through an unconventional kind of subjectivity, thus creating a representation of identity and truth other than the one expected in autobiographical accounts.

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the works of four writers who attempt cross-cultural advocacy through writing fiction based upon their fieldwork or other travels. In order to explain cultural differences, however, all four writers inadvertently rely upon the very Orientalist stereotypes, the "ethnographic fictions," which they seek to undermine. Three underlying causes for this dynamic are identified and traced through works by the authors as well as contemporary post-colonial, queer, feminist, and ethnographic interdisciplinary scholarship. First, in order to explain the significance of native cultures in the language of the mainstream or dominant one, cross-cultural advocates must balance novelty with intelligibility. A critique of an epistemology of empire, then, better taps "ethnographic fictions" through mimicry, mockery, and minstrelsy, rather than appealing to abstract, ahistorical universals. Second, Odysseun myths remain a powerful set of presumptions about the relationship between travel, individuality, and empowerment. Yet the idea that freedom and free thought are both the goals and consequences of travel fails to account for the history of pilgrims, refugees, and community-based activists. Third, Orientalism and Anthropology are organized around the idea that sex/gender roles reveal the essence of indigenous cultures. The result is a disproportionate focus upon women's living quarters (harems, zezanas, huts), and indigenous sexuality (berdaches, hijras, shamen). For the four authors, the relationship between advocacy and self-identification is a crucial element. Close reading of the writers' texts reveals how they each seek validation of their sex/gender identities through investigations abroad. As queer, feminist, and/or bi-cultural people, the writers are particularly sensitive to conventions of belonging and exclusion. This study reveals how advocacy and alienation interact in 20th-century literature and scholarship of the Other.
