Full textAbstract:
This ethnographic account focuses on the conceptions and practices of movement, as narrated by the Makushi people who live along the triple frontier of southern Guyana. The journeys - individual experiences, in particular of women – depict visits to other Makushi communities, to their neighbours and cities in Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela. The travelogues disclose Makushi premises on knowledge and its acquisition: gender, age, temporality and alterity. Exploring these concepts in practice, the ethnography points out the value the Makushi attribute to their encounters with others, situations in which risk and unpredictability are creatively incorporated as part of their sociality.

Full textAbstract:
Nella tesi, cerco di dimostrare come la letteratura di viaggio rinascimentale abbia avuto un’influenza cruciale su La Tempesta di Shakespeare, ben oltre la scelta di alcuni elementi della trama dell’opera. La Tempesta, sostengo, presenta una drammatizzazione dei problemi linguistici ed epistemologici che caratterizzano l’esperienza dei viaggiatori del tempo, in particolare di coloro che trattavano del ‘Nuovo Mondo’.
Nel primo capitolo, analizzo le descrizioni con cui Thomas Hariot ed altri viaggiatori rendono la flora e la fauna che incontrano durante i loro viaggi. Dedico particolare attenzione all’uso che fanno del processo analogico, all’abbondante presenza di vocaboli stranieri, e ai problemi strutturali alla descrizione di ciò che non è familiare, in una lingua che non lo contiene, per un lettore senza riferimenti empirici.
Nel secondo capitolo, fornisco una breve rassegna della critica de La Tempesta, oltre ad un contesto storico per la composizione dell’opera ed i legami di quest’ultima con i testi dei viaggiatori.
Nel terzo capitolo cerco di dimostrare come il linguaggio e l'epistemologia vengano ripetutamente tematizzati ne La Tempesta, stabilendo esplicite connessioni tra i personaggi naufragati sull’isola e i viaggiatori del tempo. Mi concentro particolarmente sul modo in cui i termini che essi usano per definire Calibano abbiano in realtà la funzione di mostrare l’inadeguatezza della loro stessa lingua nei confronti di ciò che è sconosciuto.

Al, Habsi Mohammed A. A. "Oman from exploration to tourism : the images of the country in early travellers' tales, travelogues and travel brochures (1838-2001)." Thesis, University of Bedfordshire, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10547/577175.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses early travel accounts (1838-1959), travelogues (1996-2001) and travel brochures (2001) to investigate the image of Oman and its people in British travel texts. Although there have been a number of imagery studies within the field of tourism over the last two decades, they have been recently criticised by Gallarza et al. (2002) for their lack of theoretical orientation. This thesis is intended to be a modest step in addressing this criticism by re-appraising Said's well known work on Orientalism (1978) and works that foreshadowed it, by testing their political, theoretical and polemical propositions against detailed evidence to be found in case study evidence derived from close analysis of English texts on one country; Oman. The thesis investigates the extent to which these texts confirm/disconfirm Said's predominantly critical evaluation of Western (particularly British and French) representations of the east through the construct he calls 'Orientalism'. Through exploration of the imagery attached to Oman, this analysis is intended to contribute to the wider "Othering" debate in suggesting how people of a developing country are defined and gendered by people from developed ones. The thesis, which is based on three genres of travel texts, suggests a much more complex picture of the mechanisms of representations than Said (1978) suggests, showing, for example, that each textual category (travel book, travelogue, and brochure) had its own distinguishing variations in terms of ideological perspective, mode of address and substantive content. For example, political and imperial discourses were widely present in early travel accounts, while, by contrast, travelogue and travel brochure data were more constituted by discourses of consumerism and commerce, with residual I'olitical and imperial traces either silenced, muted or reconstituted as forms of nostalgia, or a depoliticised, sometimes, aestheticised, historic heritage. Moreover, although some early accounts contain negative denotations and connotations relating to Oman and its people that would support Said's broadly critical deconstruction of "Orientalism" as an ideological mechanism of control and appropriation, all three media representations, historical travel texts included, were far from presenting a uniform, or even predominant construction of Oman and its people that would support Said's critique. In two contextual chapters, this thesis appraIses historical encounters between Omanis and Westerns with focus on the British and Omani relationship, and offers an overview ofthe development of tourism in Oman. On the methodological front, the study is unusual as an investigation that combines inductive with deductive approaches, quantitative content analysis with qualitative semiotic analysis. Content analysis was used to examine the images of Oman reproduced in the three media. The quantitative findings were analysed qualitatively by using semiotic analysis to explore and interpret the meanings behind the quantitative results.

Woodcock-Squires, Zoe E. "Art Deco poets : reframing the works of W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice in the context of Interwar Visual Art." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2014. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/17419.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines works by the British interwar writers W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice in the context of their relationship with the contemporary style of visual art known as Art Deco or the Moderne. It is my contention that, having absorbed many of the Art Deco idioms as an accepted part of the world they experience, these are reflected in the writers' works, firmly relating the work to a unique historical moment, place and social and cultural environment. In my reading of their work I identify sources of inspiration in their themes, idioms and imagery common to the artistic style, and investigate the extent to which their work has been informed in content and composition by visual art. Using diaries, travelogues, letters, essays, prose and poetry, I will argue that if Art Deco characterised the interwar period, it follows that it will also characterise the work of Auden and MacNeice. As such, I seek to reframe their work in an entirely new context, one seemingly unnoticed by earlier critics. My project also considers the ways in which a worldview is formed and environments are learned from childhood, with reference to early twentieth-century psychologists Erich Fromm, Lev Vygotsky and Maria Montessori, in order to posit the notion that growing up in the heyday of Art Deco, Auden and MacNeice may have subceived a great many of its motifs. I also identify the ways in which the writers engage visual art with intent, and establish a relationship between the writers and Art Deco's politics, imagery and composition through discussion of individual poems and their co-authored book Letters From Iceland (1937). In particular, the thesis examines the presence and impact of Art Deco elements in their work, such as Cubism (using both visual and literary examples), Futurism, the cinema, the Ballets Russes, and interwar attempts at producing what Wagner termed gesamtkunstwerk, the 'total work of art'.

Full textAbstract:
Dépeindre une image de l’Occident à travers cette collection de récits de voyage chinois de 1847 à 1910 et comprendre leurs procédés d’écriture, tel est l’objectif de ce travail doctoral. Avec un weltanschauung homogène et stable formé durant deux mille années de civilisation, les Chinois s’estimaient maîtriser le monde jusqu’au moment où la porte de leur pays soit forcée de s’ouvrir à l’Occident au milieu du XIXe siècle. Les voyageurs chinois sortaient ensuite timidement de leur empire et s’étonnaient devant une autre réalité qui est la modernité. Cet Occident, si neuve et si complexe, mène les voyageurs à dépeindre son image dont la procédure s’avère parallèlement être une recherche du genre approprié à cette destination. Une analyse des paratextes inhabituellement diversifiés, du genre mélangé et de la longueur aussi variée qui s’y observent confirme la tentation et l’évolution de cette recherche.Observateurs avec l’esprit ouvert ou non, les voyageurs parcourent l’Europe et les États-unis en rapportant des informations appréciables pour toute analyse sociologique concernant la vie du peuple occidental, en créant des néologismes pour désigner des réalités aussi étranges que nombreuses. Interprétation une société encore inconnue exige aussi des techniques de l’écriture. L’étude sur les rôles qu’enfile l’auteur tels que le narrateur, le voyageur et le héros ainsi que la rhétorique de l’altérité nous aide à les identifierThe aim of this doctoral work is to depict an image of the western world through a collection of notes from chinese travellers to the west between 1847-1910. And above all, understand their writing process contributing to it’s construction. Thus putting out the goal of this doctoral achievement.With a homogenous and stable weltanschauung formed during a two thousand years civilisation, the Chinese people used to believe that they master the realities of the world until they were forced to open up their country to the west at mid XIX th century. After an outgoing from their country which was very timid at the beginning, the chinese travellers came to be shocked in front of new facts characteristics of a modern world. That West, so new and so complex, make the travellers to depict it through an image which the process looks parallel to the appropriate type of the destination. An unusally diversified paratext analysis, a mixed type with different lengths which is found and can be seen during the temptation and evolution of this research.Observers with opened or closed mind, the travellers go all through Europe and the US, collecting alongway suitable informations necessary to the sociological analysis of the western people while creating neologisms used to name some strange and multiple facts.The interpretation of an unknown society needs adequate techniques of writing. The study of the role carried by the other’s rhetoric and the author (narrator, traveller and main character) enable us to identify them

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the literature of late Choson in its material context, examining how the physical aspects of the production and circulation of texts impacted the practice of writing. By analyzing various travelogues from Beijing (yonhaengnok) and private collections (munjip) from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century, I examine how transcultural contacts across borders and changing textual environments influenced intellectual circles and literary trends in late Choson Korea.
Interpreting the literary text as the material product of a culture, my study shifts the emphasis from the author as the creator of a text to the editors, publishers, collectors, and readers, through whose hands a text is reshaped and given new meaning. In light of the concept of social authorship, the written culture of late Choson will be revisited in relation to complex networks of social interactions. The print and manuscript culture of the day, socio-political groups that the author belonged to, the book market, and the government policies of that time provide interesting information on the practices of literary production, based on the larger cultural dynamics of East Asia.
This dissertation revolves around a series of questions about circulation networks and their impact. In regard to the social and cultural condition of literary production in the eighteenth century, I examine transnational interactions with foreign intellectuals as well as collective coterie activities of reading and writing among the literati in Seoul. How did the flourishing of print culture of the Jiangnan area and the book markets in Beijing change the textual dynamics of Korea? Did the government censorship carried out by the Qing and the Choson governments effectively control the circulation of books? How did the Choson literati consume the foreign books and why did they form so many literary communities in Seoul? By investigating the large scope of these textual situations, I explore how the transcultural contacts "across borders" and the changing textual environments influenced intellectual circles and literary trends in late Choson.
With respect to textual dynamics, I emphasize the various "informal networks" that have been placed at the center of book reception and consumption. For example, a number of book brokers in the Qing and Choson facilitated the distribution of books, and the sharing of manuscripts among friends in literary coteries was influential in the shaping of new literary tastes and public culture. These unconventional routes outside of established channels functioned as the actual key drivers of book culture in late Choson. My argument throughout this dissertation is that "informal circulation" is a central, rather than marginal, feature of eighteenth-century book culture and literary production.
Through a specific case study of a literatus-official, Yi Tong-mu (1741-1793), my dissertation addresses these issues in three parts that consist of seven chapters: (1) Part One, "Social Authorship and Manuscript Production," examines how the writings of Yi Tong-mu were constructed and transmitted through a complex of social interactions and how the physical aspects of texts inform various transactions of human and non-human agencies in the production of texts. (2) Part Two, "The Location of Texts: Circulation of Books, Censorship, and Community Activities" traces how social networks among the domestic literati as well as among foreign intellectuals facilitated the circulation of books. First, I examine the large scope of transnational interaction between China and Korea, and the literary inquisition carried out by the Choson government in response to the changing textual environment. This is followed by a discussion of the poetry communities in Seoul, in which the Choson literati shared their reading practices and produced their common aesthetic tastes in their writings. (3) Part Three, "Making Meaning: Reading Self and Social Discourses," examines how Yi Tong-mu read books from the Ming and the Qing--such as those by Yuan Hongdao of the Ming and Wang Shizhen of the Qing--and wrote his own poetry and literary criticism and embodied his interpretive activities in his own works.East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Full textAbstract:
This practice-based research presents an analysis of the representation of embodied experience in the travelogue film genre. It reflects upon the embodied and synaesthesic nature of the cinematic experience by tracing a shift in travelogue filmmaking from the ocular realism characteristic of early travelogue films to the emergence and proliferation of subjective approaches. Moreover, it analyses experimental travelogue films and the capacity of non-linear and non-narrative structures to express sensuous, embodied perception. 9 Meditations is the practice component of this thesis. It is an experimental travelogue film. Through its production this research explores the translation of embodied experience as a multi-sensory process into filmmaking practice. In the field of film studies, the travelogue has not been widely discussed outside historical approaches, and it has certainly never been discussed in relation to phenomenology and embodied sensation. This research articulates a new conceptual framework for both the production and theorisation of the travelogue film, as a form that is intrinsically related to performance, subjectivity and embodied perception. Moreover, this research concerns both the production process in filmmaking practice and the cinematic experience as grounded in synaesthesic, embodied perception. This approach brings to the forefront the capacity of audiovisual practice to both encode and produce sensuous knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
An average Swede buys 13 kilograms textile material every year, but an average Swede also throws away 8 kilograms every year. Adding a layer of exponential growth, I wonder what will happen with these numbers over the years and more importantly – how will it affect the emotional life of the consumer? Over the years I have developed an interest in the systemic entanglement of fashion – mainly as the urgency to create systemic shifts only has increased. Fashruption is a happy marriage of the words fashion and disruption, and forms the title for this travelogue, exploring what a fashruption could be. Fashion – that adorns the bodies to showcase the self in the social. A phenomenon in constant dynamic flow of becoming, that thrives on an expiration date. And disruption – that perhaps can release space for a renegotiation on the ways we create identities and consume fashion. But what kind of disruption has the power to challenge current behaviours? This project is divided into two parts; first a problem setting design process focusing on exploring emotional logics (or illogics) that fashion is intertwined with, extracting reflections on relationships between production–consumption–creation of identities–waste. Secondly, a fashruption is suggested to be a large-scale campaign directed towards people with future-orientated momentum. It will present a strategy proposing ideas of designed material that gives space for self-reflection at the same time building knowledge, aiming to construct publics – who has the possibility to renegotiate the terms upon which they live.

Full textAbstract:
Frihet är ett viktigt tema under nittonhundratalet, kanske särskilt decennierna omkring 1970 med allt vad den tiden innehåller av frigörelsekamp, uppror mot gamla traditioner, individualism och kollektivism. Den här avhandlingen spårar det temat genom tre genrer i den svenska litteraturen, från sextiotalet och framåt: den självbiografiska barndomsskildringen, reseskildringen och science fiction-romanen. De olika genrerna erbjuder olika möjligheter för en författare att diskutera och gestalta frihetstemat, explicit och implicit. Skilda narratologiska utgångspunkter skapar skilda förutsättningar. Genomgående frågeställningar är vilka hinder som finns för att friheten ska kunna uppnås, vilka utvägar mot friheten som ändå existerar och vilka innebörder frihetsbegreppet ges. Avslutningsvis diskuteras resultaten i förhållande till de skilda genrevillkoren men även till det som texterna har gemensamt, exempelvis utopiska drag, mötet med det obekanta och främmande, sökandet efter en subjektiv sanning eller 1968-årens tidsanda. På så sätt kan något sägas om den sköna litteraturens särart jämfört med andra slags texter.Freedom is an important theme of the twentieth century, perhaps particularly during the decades around 1970, that time of struggle for liberation, the rebellion against the old ways, of individualism and collectivism. This thesis traces that theme through three genres of Swedish literature, from the sixties onwards: the autobiographical childhood novel, the travelogue and the science fiction novel. The different genres offer different possibilities for an author to discuss and depict the theme of freedom, explicitly and implicitly. Different narratological starting points create different conditions. Some returning issues are which restrictions on, opportunities for and meanings of freedom are visible in the texts. Finally, the results are discussed in relation to the different conventions of genre but also in relation to what the texts have in common, such as features of utopia, the encounter with the unfamiliar and strange, the search for a subjective truth or the zeitgeist of the year 1968. In that way, something can be said about the specific nature of fictive or partly fictive texts compared to other kinds of prose.

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats syftar till att utforska den emotionella dimensionen av att resa genom fyra kvinnors ögon över hela världen under mitten av 1800-talet. De utvalda svenska kvinnorna var från medel- och överklassen. De frågor som ställdes var följande: Vilken känslomässig laddning har reseberättelserna om platser / kultur / människor? Med användning av William Reddy's Emotive och Barbra Rosenweins Emotional communities som en teoretisk ramverk visade resultaten att platser relaterade till naturen var extremt positiva. Stadsort var däremot inte lika positivt skildrade i Europa. Detta relaterade till den pågående industrialiseringen i Europa, vilket skapade tätbefolkade och orena miljöer som sågs med starkt missnöje och laddade med negativa känslor. Kultur var en kategori av emotionell konflikt för alla fyra resenärer. Det visade att den svenska och protestantiska bakgrunden var stark när det gällede värden och normer för dessa kvinnor och gjorde det möjligt för starka, negativa känslomässiga upplevelser av kultur. Kombinerat fanns en pågående utveckling av tankar med nationalistiska och eurocentriska element. Människor fick positiva attribut och känslor kopplade till dem på individuell basis och separerades från sin kultur i de fallen. Istället kopplades negativa känslor till grupper av människor som stred mot dessa kvinnors bakgrund och intressen. Sammantaget var den emotionella dimensionen en blandning av starka positiva och några starka negativa upplevelser. En avgörande faktor var bakgrunden och en övergripande komplexitet i den emotionella dimensionen var avgörande.This essay aims to explore the emotional dimension of travelling through the eyes of four women across the world during the middle of the 1800s. The chosen Swedish women were collectively of middle- and upper-class status. The questions asked were the following: What emotional charge do the travelogues have regarding locations/culture/people? With the use of William Reddy’s Emotive and Barbra Rosenwein’s Emotional communities as a theoretical framework, the results showed that locations related to nature were extremely positive. Urban locations, on the other hand, were not as positive to see in Europe. This related to the ongoing industrialization of Europe, creating densely populated and unclean environments that became was seen with strong displeasure and charged with negative emotions. Culture was a category of emotional conflict for all four travellers. It showed that the Swedish and protestant background was strong in determining values and norms for these women and made it possible for strong, negative emotional experiences. Combined there was an ongoing evolution of thoughts with nationalistic and Eurocentric elements. People had positive attributes and emotions connected to them on an individual basis and were separated from their culture. Instead, negative emotions were connected to groups of people that conflicted with these women’s ideas and interests. Overall, the emotional dimension was a mix of strong positives and some strong negatives. A determining factor was the background, and an overall complexity to the emotional dimension was conclusive.

Diese Dissertation handelt von Grenz- und Fremdheitskonstruktionen in iranischen Reiseberichten (sowohl Europa- als auch Russlandreiseberichte) des 19. Jahrhunderts. Durch die Untersuchung der zentralen sozialen und kulturellen Strukturen und Prozesse der Grenz- und Fremdheitserzeugung ist in dieser Studie, die iranische Gesellschaft, in den Besonderheiten ihrer eigenen Geschichte, durch ihre äußeren Begegnungen und Interdependenzen geforscht worden. Anhand der theoretischen Fokussierung auf zwei Konzepte, nämlich Fremdheit und kulturelle und soziale Grenze, wurde die Entwicklung der iranischen Gesellschaft in Anbetracht ihrer Beziehung zu den europäischen Ländern im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts rekonstruiert. Zwar ist die Arbeit primär eine soziologische Studie, konnte aber den historischen Kontext der Ereignisse und die literarische Beschaffenheit der Reisetexte nicht unbeachtet lassen.This work is a comprehensive sociological study on travelogues, specifically with focus on the Iran’s 19th century history (Qajar Dynasty). It presents an analysis that sociologically and systematically registers the staging of cultural boundaries and the socio-historical construction of foreignness in the Iranian society, on the basis of selected Persian travel literature. This study has tried to show that cultural and social boundaries are relational and historical constructs which, in case of Iran, are dramatically affected by the encounters of Iranians (statesmen, students, tourists, etc.) with western countries (Western Europe and Russia).

Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche s'intéresse avant tout à étudier les représentations de l'Afghanistan telles qu'elles se présentent dans un corpus de récits de voyage recouvrant les XIXe et XXe siècles. D'un point de vue général, nous avons constaté de nettes constances mais aussi de grandes variations dans cet ensemble de représentations. L'imaginaire de l'Afghanistan au XIXe siècle se construit sur sur de grandes thématiques liées au statut et à la culture des voyageurs de l'époque, qui sont tous, à des degrés divers reliés aux dynamiques du "grand jeu" des empires coloniaux en Asie. C'est pourquoi une appréhension géopolitique très particulière caractérise tous ces récits. Le travail des premiers voyageurs, presque tous des britanniques, est donc focalisé sur une recherche en matière de cartographie, de géographie et d'histoire politique. Cependant l'imaginaire occidental de l'Afghanistan au XXe siècle se différencie largement de celui du siècle précédent. Tout d'abord, le profil des voyageurs se diversifie. D'autre part, une grande variation dans l'orientation des écrivains-voyageurs, dans leurs centres d'intérêt et leur perception des habitants et des lieux est perceptible, malgré le maintien de certaines constantes. En fait, une double dimension éthique et esthétique caractérise la représentation de l'Afghanistan dans cette périodeThis research project explores the representations of Afghanistan in a corpus of travel narratives from the nineteenth and twentieh centuries. Overall, we can see great variations but also certain constants in the representations of this country. The Afghan imaginary in the nineteenth century is constructed on major themes related to the status and culture of travellers of the time, all related to the dynamics of the "Great Game" of the colonial empire in Asia; This is why a very particular geopolitical perspective characterizes all these narratives. The work of early travellers, almost all British, was focused on research in cartography, geography and political history. The Western imagination of Afghanistan in the twentieh century differs greatly from that of the previous century. First, the profile of travelers diversifies. On the other hand, greater variation in the orientation of writer-travellers, in their interests and their perception of the inhabitants and places is perceptible, despite the constants. In fact, a dual ethical and aesthetic dimension characterizes the imaginary of the Afghanistan in this period. In general, the representations of this country in the twentieh century, that is to say between the years 1920 and 1978, are characterized by the predominance of an "Edenlike" vision of the country, its inhabitants and its landscape

Full textAbstract:
Après l’indépendance proclamée en 1821 et les premières décennies d'anarchie politique, les gouvernants péruviens se fixèrent comme objectif la construction d'un État moderne. Cette démarche passait par la construction d'infrastructures, la diversification des moyens de communication et surtout l’adoption des nouvelles technologies de la Révolution industrielle (chemin de fer et navigation à vapeur) devenues financièrement accessibles par l’exploitation des gisements de guano. Outre son sous-sol riche en matières premières sur lesquelles reposait l’économie coloniale, le Pérou possède une topographie moins clémente de par ses contrastes géographiques cumulant déserts, montagnes et forets. Cette étude propose une lecture historique des moyens de transport dans le Pérou républicain, en examinant les différents mécanismes mis en place par les autorités politiques pour sortir le pays de son enclavement. Elle dresse un état des lieux quant au réseau de communications existant à l’époque coloniale. La thèse définit non seulement les types de métiers et des moyens de transport développés dans différentes régions du Pérou, mais examine aussi la transition entre les moyens traditionnels de transport (marche, mules, cheval et calèches) et la modernité représentée par la traction à vapeur. La question des interactions de ces nouvelles technologies avec l’économie artisanale et paysanne traditionnelle est posée, en confrontant plusieurs catégories de sources de nature administrative ou issues des récits de voyageAfter the country independence proclaimed in 1821 and the first decades of political anarchy and instability, Peruvian governing leaders set themselves to building a modern state. Through this process, they aimed at building public facilities, diversifying means of communication and especially in adopting and implementing the new technologies created by the Industrial Revolution (railroads and steam engines) now affordable to exploit the guano deposits. Besides its rich subsoil raw material that underpinned the colonial economy, Peru has a less lenient topography because of its geographical contrasts combining deserts, mountains, and forests. This study suggests doing a historical review of the Republican Peru transportation means by examining the various mechanisms set up by political authorities to connect the country to the world, and by examining the existing situation of the communication networks back in the colonial era. The thesis defines not only the types of trades and transportation developed in different regions of Peru, but also examines the transition from traditional means of transportation (walking, mules, horses, and carriages) and modernity represented by steam engines traction. The interaction issue of these new technologies along with artisanal and traditional peasant economy is raised by comparing several administrative sets or those derived from travelogues

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes the travel conventions manifest in the engravings of the
thirty-volume
Description de l’Egypte produced as a result of the Napoleonic campaign
to Egypt in 1798 and published between 1809 and 1828. The first chapter examines the
discourse established on Egypt in travelogues throughout the eighteenth century prior to
the invasion of the country. I argue that the perceptions developed around the country
did not stem from actual experience, but from political and economic motivations that
cast Egypt in a light favorable for occupation.
I examine how this perception was challenged during the collapse of distance
between the French and Egyptians in the process of colonial encounter. Drawing upon
medical records and proclamations of the French medical team in Egypt, I examine a
specific epidemic known as ophthalmia that led to swollen, irritated eyes and eventual
blindness throughout the French army in Egypt. While it is actually caused by
Chlamydia, in every appearance it makes in French medical records throughout the
occupation, the disease was blamed on the climate, sunlight, and air specific to the land
of Egypt. As a result, I argue that the
Description’s hyper-real contrasts of light and dark
and amplified decay in its representations of the monuments residing in Egypt’s ravaging
climate are determined by the manner vision itself was altered by the epidemic of
ophthalmia.
I then contend that there exists a metaphorical parallel between the decaying
pharaonic monuments in the
Description and the perceived decay of modern Egyptian
society that are linked by misconceptions of Egypt’s climate. I conclude that the effect
of Egypt’s climate believed to destroy both physical monuments and physiological
disposition was used as evidence to support the larger agenda of French imperialism that
justified colonization of Egypt.
Lastly, this study examines how Egyptians counteracted the negative discourse of
their race by appropriating symbols of their country used in European representations and
altering them to develop a national identity. Tracing the time period from French
occupation through British colonization, Egyptians were able to galvanize resistance
while still working within the confines of colonial control.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the characterization of Japan and Japanese people by Swedish travelers during the Meiji period. It seeks to answer what aspects of Japanese people two Swedish travelers chose to highlight, and how these aspects were presented in their travelogues. This thesis also has a second aim. By applying Edward Said’s theory of orientalism, it wants to answer if Swedish travelogues were influenced by western 19th century ideas of colonialism and imperialism. Finally, the third question deals with the question if these travelogues fit the general European discourse regarding Japan. The results show that the two Swedish travelers present many different parts of the Japanese; topics such as nature, industry and the character its inhabitants were all accounted for. Most of these different aspects were presented in a positive light, and this seems to hold true for the general perception of the country. It also shows that the travelogues fits in with the general Swedish perception of Japan; that it is a country inhabited by intelligent people that are considered to be highly civilized. However, it is still implied that the Japanese are not considered to be true equals, despite the travelers' claim that they are excelling in many areas compared to Europeans. The Japanese discourse is therefore one of admiration and also of a subtle feeling of superiority, though the latter is not as overt in its presentation as it was with orientalism.

Full textAbstract:
There are many studies that discuss the image of the "other" in the Arab heritage and the image of the Arab heritage from the 'perspective of the "other." However, most of these studies focus on the present era and the western "other". This study is different in theme and period than studies which have been done previously. Its theme is the image of Turkey and the Turks in a work which belongs to Arab travel literature and which was written more than three centuries ago. There is a noticeable lack in studies that examine the image of the "other" in Arab travel literature by writers belonging to the Arabian Peninsula. The travelogue of Ibrāhīm al-Khiyārī is a literary work written by one of the citizens of that area, therefore, the researcher hopes that his effort will represent an approach which contributes to filling this gap and which sheds light on the cultural production of intellectuals from the Arabian Peninsula in the past centuries. Using the descriptive analytical method, this study has tried to cover aspects of the topic within the conditions available and has written six chapters on the following topics: previous studies on the subject, histories of the Ḥijāz and the Ottoman Empire, the classification of travel writings, a presentation of the travelogue as an object of this study as well as the author and his context, Turkey in the seventh century, its civilization and culture, and finally, the image of non-Muslims in Turkey in the text of the writer. Through an extrapolation of texts that talk about the "non-Muslim other" it is clear that the author of this travelogue - like many writers in past and present - was under the influence of cultural and historical influences especially with regards to the aforementioned minorities, as bias seems to be evident in multiple texts. It therefore seems as though he was writing a personal impression of the "other" rather than simply describing what he saw and experienced.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines a small selection of Swedish newsreel and documentary short films, primarily travelogues, produced shortly before and after the second world war. The general aim is to expose differences in the representation of “The Other” and the “ethnic Swede” by applying a critical discourse analysis. The purpose is to illuminate how the material positions the latter as the norm and then contextualize this with xenophobic currents that had developed up until the middle of the twentieth century. Theoretical and methodological framework is drawn from the field of cultural studies as well as the nonfiction film. The analysis shows that the Swedish newsreel and travelogue indeed, to a high degree, possessed these currents even though part of them, mainly the anti-Semitic ideas, seems to relapse after the Holocaust.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir o pensamento político de Dostoiévski a partir de uma comparação entre Notas de Inverno sobre Impressões de Verão (1863) ciclo de artigos reunindo as impressões do autor sobre sua primeira viagem à Europa, em 1862 e outro importante relato de viagem anterior ao de Dostoiévski, Cartas de França e Itália (1855), de Aleksandr Gertsen (Herzen). Estas duas obras, cujos autores ocupam posições bastante distintas dentre o espectro Ocidentalista-Eslavófilo do século XIX russo, contêm em germe as ideias políticas de ambos, sobretudo no que diz respeito à complexa relação Rússia-Ocidente. Entendo que cotejar Dostoiévski com um dos principais representantes de seus adversários ideológicos é um modo profícuo de problematizar, e assim melhor compreender, suas ideias políticasThe dissertation aims at discussing Dostoevsky\'s political thinking. This shall be done through the comparative analysis of Winter Notes on Summer Impressions (1863) a collection of articles on the author\'s impressions after his first trip to Europe, in 1862 and another important travelogue that preceded Dostoevsky\'s, Letters from France and Italy (1855), by Aleksandr Gertsen (Herzen). These two works, whose authors take rather divergent positions within the Westernizers-Slavophiles spectrum in 19th century Russia, synthesize their political views, chiefly concerning the complex relationship between Russia and the West. My claim is that comparing Dostoevsky to one of the main spokesmen of his ideological antagonists may prove fruitful to understanding his political ideas

Full textAbstract:
Le genre de récit de voyage était très prisé au XIXe siècle, plus encore lorsqu’il concernait des contrées mythiques sur lesquelles se greffait le désir d’exotisme et la recherche de racines communes de générations d’Européens. De ce point de vue, l’Asie centrale ne fait pas exception. La rivalité russo-britannique pour le partage des zones d’influence avait provoqué une multiplication des voyages vers cet Orient mal connu. Parmi les récits britanniques les plus populaires de cette époque se distinguent ceux d’Alexander Burnes, observateur militaire, d’Arminius Vambéry, orientaliste, de Florentia Sale et de Frances Duberly, épouses d’officiers, de Henry Lansdell, prêtre anglican, de Frederick Burnaby, aventurier, etc. Ces textes représentent un genre multiforme, pris à un carrefour de discours difficiles à unifier. Tout en prenant compte la diversité de cette production littéraire, notre thèse tente de mettre en lumière la question de l’altérité que pose inévitablement le récit de voyage ainsi que d’étudier les enjeux géopolitiques et littéraires de l’écriture de voyage britannique en Asie centrale au XIXe siècle. Cette historicisation nous est nécessaire pour éviter la simplification du discours orientaliste des voyageurs britanniques tout autant qu’un ensemble de stéréotypes dépréciatifs, conduisant à légitimer un comportement impérialisteTravel writing and experience to different parts of the world were quite popular in the 19th century, having inspired generations of Europeans to quest for exoticism and mythic origins of Western culture. Central Asia had always been one of these territories which attracted British travellers and explorers. The clandestine imperial rivalry between Russia and Britain for the mastery of Central Asia multiplied the number of British travellers towards this unknown Orient. Among the most famous travelogues of this period are those written by Alexander Burnes, a military envoy, by Armenius Vambéry, an orientalist, by Florentia Sale and Frances Duberly, officers’ spouses, by Henry Lansdell, a missionary, by Frederick Burnaby, an adventurer, and by many others. These travel narratives, versatile and heterogeneous, bring on a problem of generic definition. Our dissertation aims at examining the phenomenon of Otherness, inherent to travel writing, as well as at mapping within narrative perspective the geopolitical and literary concerns in Central Asia. By choosing this approach our work strives to avoid the reduction of the British travelling discourse in this particular geographical area to a simple legitimacy of imperial policy in the Victorian age

Работа посвящена изучению особенностей ведения травелогов, посвящённых путешествию женщин писательниц по Арктическому региону. Материалом для работы послужили произведения Гретель Эрлих ‘In the Empire of Ice: Encounters in a Changing Landscape’ (2010) и Сары Уилер ‘The Magnetic North: Travels in the Arctic’ (2009). В первой части работы раскрываются вопросы, связанные с трактовкой понятия «травелог», предоставляется детальное описание его жанровых, а также языковых характеристик. Рассматриваются также основные направления в изучении понятия «нарративная стратегия» и «нарративная персона», изучается сложившийся в трудах различных учёных и путешественников образ Арктики. Во второй части работы изучаются особенности ведения травелогов авторства Гретель Эрлих и Сары Уилер, что включает в себя анализ проблем и тематик, которые были озвучены самими писательницами в тексте. После этого рассматривается каждая из представленных в произведениях проблем подробнее. Выявление специфических особенностей написания произведения в жанре литературное путешествие, охватывающее аспекты поездки автора-путешественника в Арктический регион, является тем основанием, на котором строились ключевые аспекты исследования. Результаты работы могут использоваться в других исследованиях в области литературы путешествий и образа Арктики, для разработки курсов по литературоведению и современной западной литературе.The work is devoted to the study of the features of conducting travelogues dedicated to the journey of women writers in the Arctic region. The material for the thesis was the works of Gretel Ehrlich ‘In the Empire of Ice: Encounters in a Changing Landscape’ (2010) and Sarah Wheeler ‘The Magnetic North: Travels in the Arctic’ (2009). The first chapter reviews questions related to the interpretation of the concept of "travelogue", and a detailed description of its genre and language characteristics is provided. The main directions in the study of the concept of "narrative strategy" and "narrative persona" are also considered, the image of the Arctic that has developed in the works of various scientists and travelers is studied. The second chapter of the work examines the features of travelogues authored by Gretel Ehrlich and Sarah Wheeler, which includes an analysis of the problems and topics that were voiced by the writers themselves in the text. After that, each of the problems presented in the works is considered in more detail. The identification of specific features of writing a work in the genre of literary travel, covering aspects of the author's trip to the Arctic region, is the basis on which the key aspects of the study were built. The results of the work can be used in other studies in the field of travel literature and the image of the Arctic, for the development of courses in literary studies and modern Western literature.

Full textAbstract:
Paris et Londres offrent des sites privilégiés pour l’observation du nouveau regard porté sur la ville à la fin de l’époque des Lumières. Notre démonstration, basée sur des récits de voyage, des traités d’architecture et d’autres écrits sur la ville, vise à élaborer une histoire culturelle et littéraire de la ville à travers un volet de coopération histoire/poétique des représentations. Dans un premier temps, l’étude des projets urbains formulés à Paris et à Londres permet de dégager deux modalités complémentaires du rapport au phénomène urbain : la magnificence publique et l’utilité publique. Entre ces deux pôles émergent les concepts d’embellissement et d’improvement qui relèvent d’un imaginaire artistique et, respectivement, technique. En outre, cette réflexion générale sur l’aménagement urbain favorise l’émergence d’un espace public des savoirs, observée à travers deux cartes des lieux de savoirs à Paris et à Londres, élaborées par nos soins.Dans un deuxième temps, nous esquissons une poétique comparée de la ville qui permet de montrer l’imbrication des enjeux esthétiques et épistémologiques dans la description urbaine. D’une part, l’émergence de la théorie du caractère en architecture explique le lien entre les processus de lecture de la ville, la pratique de la réunion des arts et l’embellissement urbain. D’autre part, l’analyse comparée des différentes descriptions urbaines fait ressortir la circulation des modèles descriptifs de la ville. Le modèle de la cité idéale en particulier démontre parfaitement le réseau subtil de connivences qui se tissent à cette époque entre les formes urbaines et les formes discursivesThe two great European capitals, Paris and London, are emblematic of the phenomenon of urban growth in the second half of the Enlightenment. The aim of our study, based on travelogues, architectural treatises and other writings on the two cities, is to elaborate a cultural and literary history of Paris and London by means of a multiple approach of the concept of representation which combines history and poetics. On the one hand, the analysis of the urban projects designed for Paris and London allows us to pinpoint two complementary manners of conceiving the city: public magnificence and public utility. Between these two poles emerge the concepts of embellissement and (urban) improvement which stem from an artistic and, respectively, technical urban imaginary. Moreover, the general debate on urban improvement fosters the emergence of a public sphere of science, demonstrated through two maps of places of science in Paris and London, conceived for the purposes of this study.On the other hand, a poetic approach of these urban representations shows the overlapping of aesthetic and epistemological issues. Firstly, the emergence of the architectural concept of character accounts for the link between the process of reading the city, the collaboration of arts at this time and urban improvement. Secondly, the comparative analysis of different types of urban descriptions allows us to demonstrate the circulation of several descriptive patterns, among which the pattern of the ideal city is the perfect embodiment of the subtle connections between urban forms and forms of discourse in the second half of the Enlightenment

Full textAbstract:
Á travers le cas islandais, il est question de comprendre comment l’image d’un pays se façonne vu d’ailleurs et par des vecteurs littéraires. L’image de l’Islande en France s’est modelée comme celle d’un pays lointain et mystérieux, une représentation qui perdure encore dans les mentalités aujourd’hui, l’île ayant conservé cette part d’inconnu et cet aspect énigmatique en dépit des nombreuses sources contemporaines d’information. Les clichés et les stéréotypes se perpétuent encore de nos jours dans l’imaginaire collectif français. L’histoire de l’Islande demeurant relativement méconnue, son rayonnement artistique et culturel lui confère néanmoins une existence non-négligeable sur la scène internationale. Ce travail n’a pas seulement pour objectif de contribuer à la construction de l’histoire des représentations de l’Islande, mais il vise aussi la compréhension des conditions politiques et économiques qui ont permis la diffusion en Europe de ces représentations du pays, des mœurs et de la culture de ses habitants. Cette thèse cherche également à montrer comment l’ensemble des images collectives désignant l’Islande ont été interprétées dans l’histoire des représentations. Afin de répondre au déficit des recherches sur l’Islande et de ses représentations, elle combinera l’analyse contextualisée d’un corpus littéraire (récits de voyage et articles scientifiques) et d’un corpus iconographique (cosmographies universelles) contenant des gravures et des cartes, afin de comprendre la manière dont on a pu percevoir une population et un territoire qui furent longtemps désignés comme extra-européensThe Icelandic case it is about understanding how the image of a country can be shaped from elsewhere and by literary vectors. The image of Iceland in France has been shaped as a distant and mysterious country, a picture that still persists in the minds today, the island has preserved the element of the unknown and this enigmatic appearance, despite numerous contemporary sources. Cliches and stereotypes are still perpetuated today in the French collective imagination. The Iceland history remains relatively unknown, its artistic and cultural influence nevertheless confers a non-negligible presence on the international stage. This work not only intends to contribute to the construction of the history of the representations of Iceland, but it also aims to understand the political and economic conditions that allowed the spreading in Europe of the representations of this country, customs and culture of its inhabitants. This thesis also seeks to show how all collective image of Iceland have been interpreted in the history of representations. To meet the deficit of researches on Iceland and its representations, it will combine contextualized analysis of a literary corpus (travel stories and scientific articles) and an iconographic corpus (universal cosmographies) containing engravings and maps, to understand how it was possible to perceive a population and a territory that had long been designated as outside Europe

Este trabalho busca compreender como os manuais de viagem Guia Prático, Histórico e sentimental da Cidade do Recife, de Gilberto Freyre, e Bahia de Todos os Santos, de Jorge Amado, constituem discursos representativos de projetos políticos e culturais para as cidades do Recife e de Salvador, respectivamente. Nesse propósito, partimos de uma reflexão sobre os relatos de viajantes estrangeiros sobre o Brasil e sua contribuição para a formação de um determinado olhar sobre o país, que teria influenciado de modo contundente a construção da identidade nacional brasileira, a partir do século XIX. De outro modo, procuramos compreender como as viagens realizadas por Amado e Freyre teriam repercutido na composição de seus guias enquanto elemento formador de uma imagem sobre ―o outro‖. Do relato de viagem, de autoria de um escritor-viajante, especula-se, portanto, o surgimento de um escritor-anfitrião, disposto a oferecer ao leitor/turista um imaginário urbano potencialmente integrador de seu olhar. Os itinerários propostos pelos referidos autores também apresentam marcas de seus respectivos projetos ideológicos e de um contexto político-cultural específico, situado entre as décadas de 1930 e 1940. Assim, aspectos como o regionalismo nordestino e a ideologia marxista pontuam as obras em questão. No entrelace de todos esses elementos, seria possível verificar a seleção e reconstrução de tópicos que integram a chamada ordem dos signos da cidade, entendida como a dimensão simbólica que interage com a materialidade física de conjuntos paisagísticos e monumentos urbanos, atuando na construção da identidade de um lugar. Dessa forma, seria possível compreender a abordagem que esses autores realizam de elementos pretensamente turísticos, como a natureza e a arquitetura dessas cidades-destino, em uma escrita que se afasta dos relatos e guias de viagem produzidos até então. Ao contrário, Amado e Freyre elevam a primeiro plano a ocupação humana de tais destinos, que passa a ser percebida como fonte geradora de uma cultura específica, que valoriza a identidade local.
This study intends to explain how the travel guides Guia Prático, Histórico e sentimental da Cidade do Recife, by Gilberto Freyre, and Bahia de Todos os Santos, by Jorge Amado, could built a kind of political and cultural project to Recife and Salvador, respectively. On this purpose, this work starts from a reflection about foreign travelers reports about Brazil and its contributions to the formation of a picturesque look at the country, a kind view that would have influenced forcefully the construction of Brazilian national identity, in the nineteenth century . Otherwise , we try to understand how Amado‘s and Freyre‘s travels would have reflected in the composition of their guides. From the travelogue, created by a writer who is also a traveller, maybe we could think about a host-writer, that offers to the turist-reader some new elements to compose the urban imagination, wich would take part of his viewing in a real visit. The itineraries proposed by the authors also have marks of their respective ideological projects, part of a specific political and cultural context, situated between the 1930s and 1940s. So, looks like the cultural regionalism and marxist ideology punctuate the travelguides of both writers. In the intertwining of all these elements, it would be possible to check the creative process behind some topics that make up the so-called order of city signs, understood as the symbolic dimension that dialogues with the physical materiality of landscaped sets and landmarks as elements wich acts in the local identity. Thus, it would be possible to understand the approach that the authors conduct of allegedly tourist elements, such as the nature and architecture of these cities destination, in a written deviation from reports and travel guides produced by then. Rather, Amado and Freyre raise the foreground human occupation of such destinations, which is realized as a source of a specific culture that values local identity.

Full textAbstract:
L’histoire du canal de Suez constitue un champ d’étude toujours vivant et sensible par son actualité, qui a fait naître des sentiments contrastés. C’est l’histoire de sa symbolique, des fantasmes et des projections qu’il a pu faire naître qui se trouve étudiée à partir d’un corpus littéraire et iconographique inédit. L’originalité de la recherche repose sur la multiplication des approches et le nombre d’œuvres rassemblées permettant de sortir d’une chronologie restreinte au projet de creusement. Elle entend dépasser la vision restrictive d’une entreprise qui ne peut être confondue avec l’action coloniale de la France mais qui est traversée par une idéologie de conquête. Elle apporte une nouvelle approche dans la représentation des voyages orientalistes. Le patrimoine artistique né de ce chantier universel pose enfin la question de sa réception et de son partage mémoriel entre Orient et Occident, encore riches d’enjeux aujourd’huiThe history of the Suez canal is a field of study that is still as alive and sensitive as ever, one that elicits mixed feelings. It is the story of its symbolism and the fantasies and projections that have sprung from it that is studied through a heretofore-unexamined literary and iconographical corpus. The originality of this research lies in its multiple approaches and the number of works assembled, which enables one to step out of a narrow chronology of the digging of the canal. It seeks to go beyond the restrictive vision of an endeavour that cannot be considered French colonial action yet is shot through with an ideology of conquest. It brings a fresh approach to the representation of orientalist travel. The artistic heritage born of this universal public work finally poses the question of its reception and how its memory is shared between East and West, with as much at stake today as ever

Анализом идејних, поетичких, структурално-формалистичких и језичко-стилских карактеристика репрезентативних текстова овог жанра утврђују се поступци естетизације који их уводе у књижевни систем – изражена субјективност, литерарност и интертекстуалност. Рад указује на значај овог поджанра путописа у авангардном процесу раслојавања жанрова, као и његов допринос ширењу књижевног поља у новом комуникационом и рецепционом пољу у експанзији – дневним новинама. Анализира се интертекстуални, интермедијални и интеркултурални дијалог ове врсте текстова. Резултати рада могу се применити у историографским, социолошким и компаративним истраживањима међуратне епохе у српској књижевности, као и у журналистичком истраживању жанра репортаже.Doktorska disertacija Estetika novinarske putopisne reportaže u međuratnoj srpskoj književnosti interpretativnim i komparativnim metodama utvrđuje postojanje estetskih intencija u ovom žanru, na primeru tekstova koje su pisali vodeći pisci srpske avangarde Miloš Crnjanski, Rastko Petrović, Stanislav Vinaver, kao i Rade Drainac i neki drugi tradicionalni pisci poput Dragiše Vasića, Stanislava Krakova i Grigorija Božovića.

Doctoral dissertation The aesthetics of journalistic travelogue reportage among the two world wars in Serbian literature, by interpretative and comparative methods determines the existence of aesthetic intentions in this genre, on the example of texts written by the leading writers of the Serbian avant-garde Miloš Crnjanski, Rastko Petrović, Stanislav Vinaver, as well as Rade Drainac and some other traditional writers like Dragiša Vasić, Stanislav Krakow and Grigorije Božović. Contrary to the documentary-factual (reporting) level of meaning of travelogue reportages, a deeper, fictional and poetic-connotative layer is revealed, which links them with the literary system. The analysis of conceptual, poetic, structural-formalistic and linguistically-stylistic characteristics of the representative texts of this genre determines the methods of aesthetization that introduce them into the literary system - expressed subjectivity, literary and intertextuality. The dissertation points to the significance of this sub-genre of the travelogue in the avant-garde process of stratifying the genres, as well as its contribution to the spreading of the literary field in the new communication and reception field in the expansion - the daily newspapers. Intertextual, intermedial and intercultural dialogue of this type of texts is analyzed. The results of the work can be applied in historical, sociological and comparative research of the among the two world wars epoch in Serbian literature, as well as in the journalistic research of the genre of the reportage.

Lorentz, Pascaline. "La socialisation du joueur-adolescent : son voyage identitaire avec Les Sims®." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012STRAG013.
Full textAbstract:
Ce travail doctoral se propose de prendre pour objet un jeu vidéo très connu du grand public paradoxalement ignoré par la communauté scientifique alors que son premier opus fut distribué dès l’an 2000. Alors que les études précédemment réalisées sur les jeux vidéo portent principalement sur une pratique en ligne, nous avons voulu nous consacrer à un jeu hors-ligne afin de nous questionner sur la relation que le joueur entretient avec ses avatars dans cette configuration. En effet, quelle est la nature de cette relation entre le joueur et ses personnages ? Que se passe-t-il durant le jeu ? Que font les joueurs et pourquoi ? En étudiant les joueurs de Les Sims ainsi que leurs pratiques, nous avons pu mettre en évidence la présence d’une socialisation spécifique, la socialisation vidéo-ludique, via un processus particulier comportant différentes étapes. L’adolescence nous est apparue comme un moment de la vie à la charnière entre des temporalités socialisatrices favorisant la richesse de l’expérience de simulation et un âge de la vie où le jeu est encore socialement permis et même encouragé. Dans le but d’améliorer notre interprétation, nous avons dessiné un modèle théorique prenant la forme d’un voyage que le joueur effectue durant son activité. Ce voyage identitaire véhicule le processus de socialisation vidéo-ludique advenant au cours de la pratique de simulation de vie. En prenant du recul, et en ajoutant les résultats d’une enquête menée en parallèle de la recherche doctorale, nous avons complété notre modèle avec des explications relevant d’un niveau macro social. Notre objectif a été d’inscrire la pratique vidéo-ludique dans la globalité de la vie sociale du joueurIn many books, articles, conferences, we can read, hear, notice that gaming is helping the socialization process, that games are socializing tools and that is the reason why video games could be “good” for individuals (Greenfield, 1994 ; Taylor, 2002 ; Gee, 2003). But what is that socialization? What does this specific socialization is bringing to the overall understanding of the evolution of individuals in our societies? In one word: what is the video-ludological socialization? The concept of socialization is widely used by many disciplines such as Sociology, Social Psychology, Communication Sciences, Media Studies, Game Studies and Educational Studies and so forth. Socialization, which is the social process that makes a subject become a social being, is a key concept for understanding society and its functioning. That is why I scrutinize video-ludological socialization in this dissertation. To cast light on benefits of this specific socialization, no game is better than one simulating life which is also very popular: The Sims. For my research I overlooked praxis of teenagers gaming and how they utilize the gameplay to experiment social behaviours. In this thesis, I propose to explain what video gaming is bringing more than usual play by presenting findings of this study carried out in two steps with 180 teenagers from 12 to 16 years old.This video-ludological socialization, befalling through interacting, is part of the main socialization process which lasts during all the lifespan of individuals (Berger & Luckmann, 1966). In my research, I demonstrated that gaming with The Sims channels the video-ludological socialization process and that gaming plays an active role in gamers’ social lives

Mark Twain is generally known for his novels about African-Americans, but actually, he is also a significant travel writer and active Anti-Imperialist during the age of American expansion overseas. The thesis focuses on his traveling encounters with the Others, especially the East. By chronologically displaying his changing writing styles when representing the Others and analyzing these representations with the history of American expansion, I present Twain’s quest for an ideal American identity as well as his reflections on the suitable relationship between Americans and the Others during his journeys. Based on the textual evidence, I propose that Twain’s traveling experiences are of significance among various factors contributing to his anti-imperialist thoughts in the late years. The thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter One discusses Twain’s first experiences traveling abroad during the 1860s. His lectures on Hawaii and the Middle East images in Innocents Abroad (1869) serve as his earliest representations of Others. Chapter Two focuses on Twain’s encounters with and descriptions of Chinese laborers in American West, his writing style and narrative tone having changed when representing Chinese Americans. Chapter Three deals with Twain’s travelogues about India in Following the Equator (1897), in which Twain develops a fresh perspective to admire the culture of Others. Chapter Four presents Twain’s anti-imperialist thoughts as the legacy of his former traveling experiences. Following Mark Twain’s steps and exploring his traveling representations on the Others, the thesis displays his transforming thoughts and charts out his trajectory of growth, connecting Twain’s racial concerns, travel literatures and anti-imperialist career, trying to provide an all-round perspective on the writer.

Trip planning is an important and time-consuming step for backpackers. Most research focuses on finding the travel sequence from different data sources such as blog, photos and GPS. Although these approaches can recommend some popular travel sequences for a tourist, but tourist’s place preferences and temporal constraints are not considered. In this thesis, we propose an approach for personalized trip planning which takes tourist’s preference and temporal constraint into consideration. In the proposed approach, first the place names are extracted from travelogues with the aid of the Wikipedia. Then the travel sequences are extracted from travelogues. Based on the relationship of mutual reinforcement between the authority of a place and the hub of a travelogue author, the authority of each place is derived. Moreover, the stay time of each place is estimated from the information of travel photos of a web album. Finally, based on the user specified place preference and temporal constraints, this thesis presents the algorithms to arrange a personalized trip for a user. The experiments show that the place name extraction achieves 92% precision and 100% recall. For the estimation of place stay time, the error is 3.16% compared with the ground truth collected from well-known backpacker site.

Vedenyapin, Yuri. "In the Privacy of One’s Own Homelessness: The Search for Identity in Twentieth-Century Yiddish Travelogues." Thesis, 2016. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8KP826R.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that the richness and distinctiveness of modern Yiddish travel literature—with its emphasis on arriving rather than departing—reflects the complexity of such East European Jewish notions as home, homelessness, and wandering. It examines the ways in which the experience of travel affected the search for identity, home, and belonging by Yiddish writers from the first secularized and westernized generation of East European Jews. Yiddish travelogues written in the first four decades of the twentieth century show a curious trend with respect to the search for identity and the destinations that are their subject. These destinations fall into two categories: those with specific Jewish connotations and those without. For writers addressing the latter destination category, even though motivated by the search for a Jewish identity, locales beyond the Jewish map engender the greatest sense of empowerment. Even when their ostensible motivations and emphases are diametrically opposed, they arrive at the same conclusion, that Jews belong simultaneously nowhere and everywhere. Peretz Hirschbein and Melech Ravitch are exemplary illustrations of this tendency: the former laments the countless roads on which Jews have traveled and many borders that separate them; he longs for universal brotherhood and closeness to nature, and as such rejects the diversity of the Jewish experience; the latter, on the contrary, celebrates diversity. How can we explain this trend? It is born of the contradictory set of ideological and artistic aims and interests of a generation that rejected the traditional beliefs and lifestyle of their parents, and that aimed to create a body of modern literature in Yiddish that would equal major European literatures, and that internalized a number of European cultural (primarily literary) tropes. Moreover, this literature was the product of a generation of writers who yearned for an organic connection to Jewish past, present, and future and at the same time saw problems with every existing ideology. The Introduction situates the study within the context of Jewish cultural and literary history and addresses questions of scope and methodology. Chapter 1 analyzes Yiddish travel writers’ fascination with exotic destinations lacking specifically Jewish connotations and its role in these writers’ struggles to define their cultural identity. Chapter 2 analyzes the work of Peretz Hirschbein and argues that his longing for universal brotherhood and closeness to nature reflected both a reluctance to celebrate the diversity of the Jewish experience and an impulse to embrace its global proportions. Chapter 3 focuses on the life and work of Melech Ravitch and contrasts his passion for diversity with the opposite approach of Peretz Hirschbein. Chapter 4 explores Yiddish writers’ travel to Mandate Palestine and to Soviet Russia and focuses on the parallels between travelogues about these two politically charged destinations. Chapter 5 examines the development of Yiddish travel literature after World War II, focusing both on works that describe travel back to Eastern Europe and are dominated by the themes of mourning and preservation, and on later works, filled with the urge to affirm a worldwide Jewish presence. The Conclusion recapitulates the dissertation’s main points and stresses the uniqueness of the Yiddish travelogue and its importance in Jewish studies and beyond.

Al-Attar, I. "Textual representations of the socio-urban history of Baghdad : critical approaches to the historiography of Baghdad in the 18th and 19th centuries." Thesis, 2014. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/18555/2/Whole-attar-thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on historiography, which is the study of history and methodology of the discipline of history. The problems of historical theory and the role of critical theory in historical understanding are the main objectives of this study. The thesis explores the urban history of Baghdad in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to posit alternative historiographical methods that involve non-conventional textual representations as historical evidence. These textual representations include poetry, travelogues and narratives around non-monumental everyday urban places, all of which are often ignored in conventional history writing.
Conventional approaches to historiography are normally single-layered and limited, and contain gaps or ‘absences’ of distinctive local historical themes and spaces that are smoothed over by grand narratives. The alternative method in historiography suggested in this thesis emphasises the need for closer ties between history and literary criticism. It interprets literature in relation to knowledge, and it discloses their philosophical connections to the ‘overlooked’ meanings in urban history. Although the alternative method comprises strong links to literary analysis, the thesis seeks a combination of both scientific and speculative philosophies, and an addition of extra concepts, towards the generation of specific historiographical concepts and themes.
Baghdad provides an excellent vehicle to investigate the general problem of historiography, with its complex history of conquest and colonisation, its long history of creative writings and the vague representation of its urban spaces in current historiographical studies. Although this thesis explored the entire history of Baghdad, the period of interest is the Mamluk period between mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. In addition to the transformation and change that shaped Baghdad’s urban history, this period significantly produced rich poetry and historical narratives that embraced plentiful themes of the urban development of the city, which have been overlooked in conventional historiography. These themes include the measures of beauty of Baghdad, the attractive and interlocking qualities of the Tigris River, Karkh region and markets, the multiple meanings of gardens and learning centres, and the social and leisure significance of houses.
The thesis focuses on the poetry of the prominent scholar and poet Sheikh Kadhem Al-Uzari, the historian and religious scholar Sheikh Abdul-Rahman Al-Suwaidi, and the poet and chief of the writing bureau in Baghdad Sheikh Saleh Al-Tamimi, in addition to a number of texts by other scholars in that period. The thesis also focuses on the travelogues of mainly four travelers who wrote significant observations of Baghdad during this period, namely; the surveyor Carsten Niebuhr, the entomologist Guillaume Antoine Olivier, the British resident Claudius Rich and the traveler and writer James Silk Buckingham.The thesis also refers to the writings of philosophers such as Edward Said, Hans Georg Gadamer and Michel Foucault for philosophical frameworks to outline the alternative method of interpretation of these texts.
The analysis of poetry and narratives composed by Baghdadis in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and of travelogues of the same period, is ‘another’ method in historiography that is intended to support and complement the existing understanding of the city’s history, and to attain a more dialogical interface with the past. In this way, historiography becomes a more critical influential discipline in historical studies.

中國歷史上屢有異邦人士親身踏訪禹域，其中不乏有心之人將見聞感受付諸紙筆，撰文紀行。考慮到此類材料的政治意涵與文類屬性，本文採用「中國行紀」的概念指稱明治時代日本人結合親身踏訪禹域體驗撰寫的紀行文字。本文討論之日本明治（1868-1912）在時段上與中國晚清大致相當。不到五十年裏，兩國都經歷了翻天覆地但又截然相反的變動。也就是說，在日本不斷進步、日趨興盛的同時，中國卻世風日下，走向衰頹。一百多年前日本漢學者的中國行紀從異域鄰人的角度爲今人理解與進入晚清提供了嶄新的研究視角。有關明治漢文中國行紀的先行研究側重於中日政治關係的歷史描繪，對兩國知識人士之間文化交流與知識轉型方面的價值則有待繼續討論。本文將集中討論被視為明治三大漢文中國行紀的竹添進一郎《棧雲峽雨日記》、岡千仞《觀光紀游》與山本憲《燕山楚水紀遊》。它們分別代表了明治前期、中期與後期日本人對中國的旅行書寫，顯示出日本漢文中國行紀逐漸走向盡頭的趨勢。上述三書不僅影響到許多同代及其後大正、昭和時期的中國行紀，而且行紀文體的親歷性與權威性也使其對於近代日本人中國認識的轉變與形塑起到潛移默化的作用。三位作者都是受到過傳統舊式教育的漢學者，通過寫作傳達出親歷中國後想像與現實的落差，又以文學家的筆調記錄了晚清社會政治與士民生活的方方面面，在近代中日文化交流與知識轉型上扮演了重要角色。筆者將以漢文筆談為切入點，討論近代中日知識人士圍繞文化交流、知識轉型、文士往來與書籍酬贈等重要議題展開的交際與互動。本文期望通過勾稽相關文獻史料，回歸晚清歷史語境，藉助異域之眼反躬自省。
In Chinese history, there were always overseas people travelling to China, including Japanese sinologists, many of whom had recorded their impressions of China by composing travelogues. Considering the political implication and the genre application of this kind of materials, this research adopts the term "travelogues about China" to generalize all these records. The time period to be discussed in this research project is the whole Meiji era, namely, from 1868 to 1912, less than half a century, corresponding roughly to the late Qing period. These two countries had undergone tremendous but reversed revolutions during this period. That is to say, when Japan made progress everyday, China, on the other hand, was in an apparent state of decline. Travelogues about China 150 years ago provide people nowadays with a new research angle to comprehend and enter the late Qing history from Japanese sinologists’ perspectives.
Previous research about on Japanese travelogues about China in Chinese during the Meiji Period focused on historical descriptions of Sino-Japanese political relationships, however, the value of cultural exchange and transformation of knowledge between literary elites from both of these two countries remain to be discussed. This research plans to focus on Takezoe Shin’ichirō’s San’un Kyōu Nikki (A Diary of Clouds Hanging between the Mountains and Rain in the Ravines), Oka Senjin’s Kanko Kiyū (Travel Reports for Sightseeing) and Yamamoto Ken’s Enzan Sosui Kiyū (Travel Reports for the Mountains of North China and the Rivers of South China), which were regarded as the three most representative Japanese travelogues about China in Chinese. Respectively, they represented Japanese travel writing about China in the early, the middle and the late Meiji period and indicated that the ending of the traditional Japanese travelogues about China in Chinese was approaching. In addition, they also had a profound impact on the following Japanese travel literature about China. The genre of travelogue also exercised an invisible and formative influence on Japanese views of China in the modern era. All of these three sinologists were educated in the old style and had deep backgrounds of traditional Chinese learning. Through writing, they expressed the distance between imagination and reality after experiencing China for themselves, and various recorded aspects of the late Qing’s social politics and civil life. They played an important role in modern Sino-Japanese cultural exchange and transformation of knowledge. It will also discuss modern Sino-Japanese literati cultural and book exchange, transformation of knowledge and other issues centered on the practice of conversations by writing Chinese. This research hopes to return to the late Qing and reflect on China through its neighbors’ perspectives.
