Abstract:
Alma Karlin (1889–1950), a round-the-world traveller, intellectual, and writer from Celje, Slovenia, arrived in Japan and lived in Tokyo in the early 1920s, an era which historians consider to be an interim period between the initial expansion of the Japanese Empire to mainland Asia and its end in 1945. The writer’s fascination with the land can be inferred, among other things, from a 35-page description of Japan and the Japanese in her most famous book, Einsame Weltreise. Die Tragödie einer Frau (The Odyssey of a Lonely Woman), and passages in Reiseskizzen (Travel Sketches), an earlier work. The article aims to place these travel accounts in the historical and ideological contexts of their time while highlighting some similarities and differences between the representations of the land and its people by Karlin and those by Isabella Bird (1831–1904). Although Karlin makes no explicit reference to the famous British traveller in her writing on Japan, the article demonstrates that she must have known about Bird’s book Unbeaten Tracks in Japan. It is, above all, her decision to introduce her (German) readers to topoi that were typical of Victorian women’s travel writing which suggests that Karlin partly based her image of Japan, if not even the itinerary of her journey there, on Bird’s bestselling work. Nevertheless, Karlin does not seem to have conformed to the then dominant orientalist discourses on Japan, her representations generally showing none of the Western arrogance that was so typical of her fellow travellers of both sexes.

Abstract:
Contrariamente a lo que cabría esperar de un trabajo de montañerismo, que consistiría básicamente en un derroche de testosterona y parajes virginales deseosos de ser poseídos, el siguiente testimonio de mujer estaba destinado, desde su concepción, a revolucionar la tradición visual, y marcar un hito en la iconografía del paisaje de montaña. Todo apunta a que su intención era ofrecer un placer visual alternativo al que tradicionalmente busca el hombre blanco heterosexual. El objetivo de este estudio consiste precisamente en dar a conocer un discurso femenino de montaña. Para ello, he seleccionado la colección de cartas que la escritora y viajera Isabella Bird escribió a su hermana Henrietta, más tarde compiladas en la obra, A Lady A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains (1879). A continuación, he buscado ejemplos de “mirada femenina” en contraposición a la tradicional omnisciente “mirada masculina”. El resultado obtenido refleja que a pesar del derroche de inocencia que podría presentar partir de viaje en aras de la salud, la aventura en solitario de esta mujer victoriana adquiere tintes de carácter trascendental. De hecho, tras siglos de tiranía patriarcal, qué mejor lugar para viajar sin compañía, vestir a su aire y subvertir la autoridad y placer masculino, que la montaña. Partiendo de estos hallazgos, sugiero que, valiéndose de la distancia, Bird da rienda suelta a su mirada, lo que le permitió escribir sobre un tema tabú como es el cuerpo de un hombre. Así que las “curvas” masculinas se presentan por primera vez como objeto de deseo tan seductoras como las femeninas, y esta pionera fue suficientemente valiente para dejarlo por escrito.

Abstract:
Nineteenth-century male European travel writers sometimes romanticize their destinations and dream they have arrived in untouched lands. The Hawaii Isabella Bird visited, however, was not an idyllic land, forgotten by time. Early in the nineteenth century, steamships crossed the Pacific, carrying goods and people from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, China, and Japan. The trade in sandalwood and fur brought many foreign steamships into Hawaii (Kuykendall 15). It was not uncommon for American missionaries to arrive in Hawaii via whaling ships that stopped in Hawaii (Kuykendall 16, 41). Hawaii, with its position between mainland America and Asia, was a valuable and strategic piece of property. Isabella Bird Bishop's 1875 travel memoir The Hawaiian Archipelago: Six months Among the Palm Groves, Coral Reefs, and Volcanoes of the Sandwich Islands comments on the political situation the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) faced in the nineteenth century.

Abstract:
InUnbeaten Tracks in Japan(1880), Isabella Bird, one of the most celebrated travel writers of her time and the first female member of the Royal Geographical Society, asserts that she has found “the ‘MISSING LINK’” in the deep interior of Japan, on the island of Hokkaido (270). According to Bird, a wizened individual barely resembling man sits “crouched” in front of a disheveled hut, showing no “signs of intelligence” (270). In fact, this “missing link” Bird purports to have discovered was one of the Ainu, the native people of Hokkaido, who suffered the consequences of Japanese developmental schemes. Bird's identification of the forlorn figure as the “missing link,” an anachronistic being that lacks history and culture, is puzzling, as she encounters this haggard man after having already spent several days with the Ainu in Biratory, a small village in Hokkaido. During her stay, the Ainu villagers constantly speak of the strained relationship between themselves and the Japanese, as well as their discontent at Japanese prohibitions on Ainu traditions. In other words, they divulge the oppressiveness of Japan's so-called “modernizing” regulations and policies, and they attempt to inform their visitor of the history between the two conflicting peoples. However, their efforts seem to be lost on Bird. Rather than interpret the Ainu individual's ruined body as a corporeal text on which the history of colonial violence and exclusion is imprinted, Bird judges the man's beastly existence to be the evidence of his people's inferiority.

Abstract:
“Perilous Pilgrimage: A Lady’s Flight into the Rocky Mountain Wilderness” is comprised of four thematically linked essays set in the Colorado Rockies. In these essays I probe my fascination with masculinity at an early age, the impact of my rape at age twenty-two, the dependency and resentment that undermined my marriage after the rape, and my quest after my divorce fifteen years later to define myself on my own terms. The link joining these strands is the tension between my drive for independence and my disassociation from my mind and body as a result of the rape. “Perilous Pilgrimage” revisits three pivotal stages of my life: childhood, young adulthood, and middle age. As a youngster vacationing with my family in Rocky Mountain National Park, I was drawn to men who rescued lost hikers and climbed mountains. Fred Bowen, the caretaker of our rented cabin in the park, and the two California school teachers who were the first to conquer the Diamond on Longs Peak, appeared to have more freedom than I did as a middle-class girl growing up in the 1950s. That conviction was reinforced after I moved to Colorado at age seventeen. Four years later I graduated from college and began dating a man who introduced me to the thrill and terror of mountaineering. After leading me up numerous mountains, he became my husband, and we made our home in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Once married, I could no longer repress the unresolved issues of my rape and identity quest, and I revolted. At age thirty-nine, I embarked on a solo quest to reclaim that sense of wonder and independence I had felt as a child exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. Included in my essays are references to historical figures with similar urges as mine, such as the 19th-century English explorer George Augustus Ruxton and English travel writer Isabella Bird. My search for refuge and redemption in the Colorado Rockies replicated a centuries-old pattern.

Abstract:
A maior parte da biodiversidade global está concentrada nas florestas tropicais. Um dos principais fatores que ocasionam o desaparecimento dessa diversidade é a perda de hábitats pelas ações antrópicas, como o desmatamento e o crescimento urbano desordenado. Fragmentos florestais que possuem elevada biodiversidade, altas taxas de endemismo e fortes pressões antrópicas, são chamados de hotspots. A Floresta Atlântica é um dos hotspots brasileiros mais devastados. Por serem sensíveis as alterações do ambiente, as aves são consideradas importantes bioindicadores da qualidade dos ecossistemas. O presente estudo foi realizado na Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Rio dos Pilões, em uma região antropizada e com remanescentes de Mata Atlântica (Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana), localizada no município de Santa Isabel, no Estado de São Paulo. A RPPN pertence a um empreendimento imobiliário que visa à integração entre as atividades de proteção dos recursos naturais com as ações humanas. Com o intuito de conhecer e analisar a comunidade de aves da RPPN estudou-se três ambientes principais: um ambiente de campo antrópico (ACA), um ambiente antrópico inundado (AAI) e um ambiente florestal antropizado (AFA). O estudo foi realizado de maio de 2005 a maio de 2006, utilizandose o método de captura e recaptura com redes-neblina e o método de observações em trajetos irregulares, sendo o primeiro aplicado no AFA e o segundo no ACA e no AAI. Foram registradas 141 espécies de aves em um total de 1.824 horas de trabalhos. Estas espécies estão distribuídas em 20 ordens, 46 famílias, 125 gêneros, resultando em 2.243 indivíduos observados, 184 capturados e 17 recapturados. A curva acumulada de espécies não mostrou tendência à estabilização, sugerindo que o esforço de coleta despendido não tenha sido suficiente para amostrar toda a comunidade, indicando assim que novas espécies possam ser registradas. Os Não-Passeriformes somaram 56 espécies, com maior representatividade nas famílias Ardeidae e Trochilidae. Os Passeriformes foram os mais representativos, com 85 espécies, sendo Tyrannidae a de maior número. O ambiente que apresentou maior riqueza foi o AAI com 85 espécies, seguido pelo AFA com 72 e o ACA com 52 espécies. As espécies mais freqüentes (FR) foram Patagioenas picazuro no ACA, Thraupis sayaca no AAI e Chiroxiphia caudata no AFA. A análise da freqüência de ocorrência (FO) mostrou que a maioria das espécies teve FO abaixo de 25%, enquanto que poucas espécies apresentaram FO maior que 75%. As espécies com maiores FO foram Vanellus chilensis, Pitangus sulphuratus, T. sayaca e Basileuterus leucoblepharus. A comunidade foi agrupada em 13 guildas tróficas, sendo a insetívora a de maior predomínio em todos os ambientes. Das espécies registradas, 04 são migrantes e 03 estão ameaçadas de extinção. Embora a RPPN apresente um elevado grau de degradação, possui elevada riqueza e diversidade de espécies de aves, fator este que pode contribuir não somente para aumentar seu valor de conservação, como também auxiliar na implantação de projetos de restauração ecológica dos remanescentes.
The most of global biodiversity is intent in the tropical forests. One of the main factors that they cause the disappearance of this diversity is the loss of habitats for the anthropic actions, as the deforestation and the disordered urban growth. Forest fragments that possess high biodiversity, high taxes of endemism and forts anthropics pressures, are called hotspots. The Atlantic Forest is a Brazilian hotspots more deforested. By being sensible the alterations of the environment, the birds are considered the most important bioindicators of the quality of ecosystems. The present study River of the Piloes was carried through in the Particular Reserve of Patrimony Natural (RPPN), in an anthropic region and with remainders of Atlantic Forest, located in the city of Santa Isabel, State of Sao Paulo. The RPPN belongs to a real estate enterprise that aims at the integration enters the activities of protection of the natural resources with the actions human beings. Whit the intention to know and to analyze the community of birds of the RPPN one studied three main environments: environment of anthropic field (ACA), anthropic environment flooded (AAI) and the anthropic forest environment (AFA). The study has been at the May of 2006 to May of 2005, using the capture method with mist-nets and the method of irregular courses, being the first one applied in the AFA, and as in the ACA and the AAI. They had been registered 141 species of birds in a total of 1.824 working hours. These are distributed in 20 orders, 46 families, 125 genders, resulting in 2.243 observed individuals, 184 captured and 17 recaptured. The accumulated curve of species as soon as did not show to trend to the stabilization, suggesting that the expended effort of collection has not been enough to show to all the community, indicating new species can be registered. The Non- Passeriformes had added 56 species, with bigger representation in the families Ardeidae and Trochilidae. The Passeriformes had been most representative, with 85 species and in Tyrannidae are the bigger. The environment that presented greater wealth was the AAI with 85 species, AFA with the 72 and the ACA with 52 species. The most frequent species (FR) had been Patagioenas picazuro in ACA, Thraupis sayaca in AAI and Chiroxiphia caudata in AFA. The analysis of the occurrence frequency (FO) showed that the majority of the species had FO below of 25%, whereas few species had presented bigger FO that 75%. The bigger with FO had been Vanellus chilensis, Pitangus sulphuratus, T. sayaca and Basileuterus leucoblepharus. The community was grouped in 13 trophic guilds, being the insectivora of the bigger predominance in all environments. Of the registered species, 04 are migrants and 03 are threatened of extinguishing. Although the RPPN presents one high degree of degradation, it possess high wealth and diversity of species of birds, it is the factor that can contribute to not only increase its value of conservation, as well as auxiliary in the implantation of projects of ecological restoration of the remainders.

Mitt examensarbete har gått ut på att stå för den grafiska formgivningen till en historiebok om byn Vormsele. Den här rapporten behandlar de layoutmässiga och typografiska frågor som har varit relevanta för mitt arbete med boken.

För att genomföra uppdraget har jag gjort litteraturstudier där jag tagit fram riktlinjer för det praktiska arbetet med boken. Jag har läst böcker inom informationsdesign och mer inriktade böcker som behandlar layout och typografi. Litteraturstudierna gav mig ökad kunskap inom området och jag kunde utifrån dessa få en förståelse för vilka grafiska beslut som var nödvändiga att ta innan jag kunde påbörja själva layoutarbetet.

Att sätta samman boken har varit ett omfattande arbete och mycket finns att läsa inom området. Rapporten avser inte på något sätt att behandla alla frågor som kan komma upp vid formgivning av en bok, utan behandlar de övergripande frågeställningar som har varit mest relevanta för mig i just detta arbete.

Abstract Isabella Lucy Bird, one of the most famous Victorian traveling ladies, was born on October 15 in 1831. From 1854 to 1901, she had been to Canada, Australia, Hawaii, Colorado, Japan, Malaya, India, Middle East, China, Korea, and Morocco. She wrote and published her abundant traveling experiences. Among her twelve published travelogues, I chose Unbeaten Tracks in Japan as my thesis project. This thesis investigates Isabella Bird’s subject position. The research methodology I employ to examine this question is Sara Mills’ discourse theory. Mills adopts Foucault’s notion of “discourse” to analyze nineteenth-century women travelers’ writings. Chapter One investigates why Bird adopts the letter form to construct her travel writings, and how Bird’s letter writing does not conform to the parameter of traditional letter writing and further examines the connections between colonial and feminine discourse, and epistolary writing. Chapter Two focuses on the colonial discourse that impinges on the textual construction of Bird’s travel narratives. First it illustrates how Europeans define non-Europeans by imperialistic/colonialist viewpoints. The chapter also shows that there is another anti-colonial narrative position that undercuts colonial stance. Chapter Three deals with feminine discourse. To be more specific, I examine the close relationship between the historical context and Bird’s feminine subject position. That is to say, I examine how the femininity that circulated in the Victorian period determines the construction of Bird’s travel narratives. In this way, we can know distinctly the conflict between discourses, especially colonial and feminine ones.

Abstract:
Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978) has generally been recognized as an influential study of western literary perceptions of the East, but numerous critics have also challenged his geographical parameters as too narrow and his conceptual framework as insufficiently complex. This thesis further expands the study of Orientalism (1) by focussing on a colonized area generally overlooked in this context, namely Southeast Asia; (2) by including a writer of German background, a nationality frequently omitted in the discussion of colonial history in general and of Orientalism in particular; and (3) perhaps most importantly, by juxtaposing the views of a Chinese author with those of western writers. This thesis is the critical study of three authors about their travels in Southeast Asia: Isabella Bird (1831-1904), Max Dauthendey (1867-1918) and Ai Wu (1904-1992). Since postcolonial criticism does not generally concern itself with the cultural habits which are formed in a traveller’s native society prior to his or her departure, this approach alone does not provide the tools for the differentiated kind of investigation I wish to conduct. I therefore draw on the cultural criticism of Pierre Bourdieu (1972, 1979, 1993), Johannes Fabian (1983, 1991), and Walter Benjamin (1969, 1974, 1985), to focus on a decisive moment in each traveller’s background, which may be said to have shaped his or her perception of other cultures. In Bird’s case, this event was the 1851 Exhibition which encapsulated the Victorian ideals of industrial progress, imperial expansion, and Christian philanthropy. By contrast, Dauthendey’s responses were shaped by the Art Nouveau sensibilities he bad acquired in the German, French, and Scandinavian bohème. Finally, Al Wu derived his outlook from the May Fourth Movement, a brief period when western ideas were welcomed into Chinese social and literary history. Said’s Orietalism posits the homogeneous cultural entity of an imperial West in contradistinction to a victimized East. This thesis does not reverse these categories, but it does provide the space for an equal discussion of Chinese and western writings within a differentiated historical context.

Abstract:
This book places Bird's visit to Japan in the context of her worldwide life of travel and gives an introduction to the woman herself. Supported by detailed maps, it also offers a highly illuminating view of Japan and its people in the early years of the 'New Japan' following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, as well as providing a valuable new critique on what is often considered as Bird's most important work. The central focus of the book is a detailed exploration of Bird's journeys and the careful planning that went into them with the support of the British Minister, Sir Harry Parkes, seen as the prime mover, who facilitated her extensive travels through his negotiations with the Japanese authorities. Furthermore, the author dismisses the widely-held notion that Bird ventured into the field on her own, revealing instead the crucial part played by Ito, her young servant-interpreter, without whose constant presence she would have achieved nothing. Written by Japan's leading scholar on Isabella Bird, the book also addresses the vexed question of the hitherto universally-held view that her travels in Japan in 1878 only involved the northern part of Honshu and Hokkaido. This mistaken impression, the author argues, derives from the fact that the abridged editions of Unbeaten Tracks in Japan that appeared after the 1880 two-volume original work entirely omit her visit to the Kansai, which took in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and the Ise Shrines. Bird herself tells us that she wrote her book in the form of letters to her sister Henrietta but here the author proposes the intriguing theory that these letters were never actually sent. Many well-known figures, Japanese and foreign, are introduced as having influenced Bird's journey indirectly, and this forms a fascinating sub-text.

Abstract:
Illustrated papers were not only crucial for imaging women’s bodies and identities but also for depicting other cultures, often through an imperialist lens. As Andrea Kaston Tange notes in this essay, weeklies such as the Illustrated London News responded to the opening up of Japan after 1854 with illustrations ‘that tended to draw more heavily on tropes that depicted a country that was artistically very fine in part because it was simultaneously woefully behind in modern technologies’ (p. 273). To some degree, Isabella Bird (1831‒1904), in her travel narrative Unbeaten Tracks in Japan (1880), reiterates these Orientalist strategies, yet she also, through letterpress descriptions and visual representations, balanced ‘fairyland’ imagery with realist detail that defies stereotypes and self-reflexively draws attention to her own status as a foreign spectacle. Tange’s essay challenges us to view women writers’ relationship to the colonialist discourse of illustrated journalism in complex terms, as a ‘series of layered registers, a palimpsest of meaning’ (p. 273).

Abstract:
Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Osmanlı Devleti’nin savaştığı cephelerden biri de Sina-Filistin-Suriye Cephesi’dir. Buradaki askerî harekâtlar; Birinci Kanal Seferi (28 Ocak-3 Şubat 1915), İkinci Kanal Seferi (27 Temmuz- 5 Ağustos 1916) ve Osmanlı ordusuna karşı gerçekleştirilen İngiliz genel karşı taarruzundan (31 Ekim 1917-30 Ekim 1918) meydana gelmektedir. Kanal harekâtı için komutanlığına Bahriye Nazırı Ahmed Cemal Paşa getirilen Suriye’deki 4’üncü Ordu görevlendirilmiştir. Gazze muharebelerinden kısa bir süre önce Bağdat’ın İngilizler tarafından işgali (11 Mart 1917), İngilizlerin etkilerini artırmalarını sağlamıştır. 31 Ekim 1917’de İngilizler Gazze-Birüssebi hattına taarruza geçmiş, Üçüncü Gazze Muharebesi (7 Kasım 1917) olarak anılan bu muharebede Türk mevzileri yarılmıştır. Türk birlikleri KudüsYafa hattına çekildiyse de İngiliz taarruzlarını durdurmak mümkün olmamıştır. 9 Aralık 1917’de Kudüs düşmüş, bunun üzerine Yıldırım Ordular Grubu Komutanı General Falkenhayn görevden alınarak yerine Liman von Sanders atanmıştır. Suriye-Filistin Cephesi’nde 19 Eylül 1918 tarihinde Osmanlı ordusuna karşı başlayan İngiliz “genel karşı taarruz”unun sonunda Türk ordusunun geri çekilmesi üç aşamada gerçekleşmiştir. Bu kapsamda Türk kuvvetleri; 21 Eylül 1918’de Dera’ya kadar birinci aşama, 1 Ekim 1918’de Şam’a kadar ikinci aşama, 25-26 Ekim 1918’de ise Halep’e kadar üçüncü aşama olarak ricat etmiştir. Şam’ın düşmesi sonucu “Askerî Karar Verme Süreci” neticesinde yapılan değerlendirme ile 7’nci Ordu Komutanı Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın teklifi ile Yıldırım Orduları Grubu Komutanı Limon Von Sanders tarafından ana bağlı birliklere Halep civarında bir “stratejik savunma” yapılması direktifi verilmiştir. Katma Muharebesi “stratejik savunma” olarak icra edilmiştir. Buradaki harekâtın temel amacı 19 Eylül 1918 tarihinden itibaren devam eden İngiliz genel taarruzunun durdurulması olarak belirlenmiştir. Katma Muharebesi’ndeki askerî harekâtın planlama ve uygulamasında üç temel unsur belirleyici olmuştur. Bunlar; İtilafların ve Türk kuvvetlerinin durumu ile arazi şartlarıdır. Bu üç temel unsur arasındaki karşılıklı etkilerin ve zaman faktörünün değerlendirilmesi sonucunda nihai karara ulaşılmıştır. Bu unsurları iyi değerlendiren 7’nci Ordu Komutanı Mustafa Kemal Paşa, İngiliz askerî gücü ile mukayese edildiğinde silah, teçhizat, mühimmat ve personel açısından aleyhine olan şartlara rağmen harekâtın sevk ve idaresinde gösterdiği isabetli kararları neticesinde muharebenin sonucunu belirleyen kişi olmuştur. Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın orduyu başarılı sevk-idaresi sonucu 19 Eylül 1918 tarihinde başlayan İngiliz taarruzu nihayet Katma’da durdurulmuştur. Bu askerî başarı, stratejik düzeyde İngilizlerin Halep’in kuzeyinden, İskenderun’a kadar uzanan Anadolu coğrafyasının işgal sürecini engellemiş ve Milli Mücadele döneminde Misak-ı Millî’nin doğal hudutlarının belirlenmesinde etkili olmuştur.
