Full textIt may be said that this thesis aims at understanding the spatial articulation between tourism and communication in such situations as those in which an individual subject – expressing the whole peculiarity of his or her desire through telling or practices – and collective actors are brought together.My reflection thus organises itself in accordance with the modalities of the articulation between the three dimensions of tourism: the practical dimension, the symbolic dimension and the imaginary dimension.Tourist activity consists in travelling and in visiting a site, a place or a destination; tourist mediation means the range of activities that are organised around tourism or those that are associated to it. Tourist mediation concerns the agents and the practices in the field of tourism. In this context, I wish to show that tourist mediation structures the perceptions, the interpretations and the practises of space.I address the definitions; give an overview of academic research on tourism and address the notions of tourism through the etymology of its main words (tour, tourism, and tourist) and through the differences that exist between tourism and other notions similar to it such as leisure, vacations, holiday and travelling. These notions are necessary to the comprehending of tourist mediation.I intend to lay the foundations of the field of tourist mediation and to demonstrate that the social practise of tourism is a form of mediation. I will present the tourist objects that structure the tourist practises of space. The structures of tourist mediation will then be laid; this will enable me to craft a “critical theory” of tourist mediation. With a view to understanding how the practises and the scenes of tourism organise, I will subsequently widen the concept by presenting the operators, the agents and the policies of the tourist organisation; the examples and the studies of the latter are mainly concerned with mediation and mediators in the case of France. I situate tourist mediation in relation to the experience of otherness and to the relationship to the others, to wanderlust, to the tourist imagination and to cultural imagination too. I then describe and give a two-point analysis of the tourist information system. The first point is concerned with the enunciation of space produced by the tourist, the tourists and by the tourist mediators (the enunciation of the guide’s discourse for instance) through various multimedia telling. The second point is concerned with the enunciation, through the tourist media (non-specialised or tourism media, tourist guides), by the speakers (e.g. operators and private or public agents of the tourist organisation) of the communication strategies and of the tourist descriptive signing. This discourse analysis relates to examples of textual and/or iconic documents

Full textThe ultimate goal of this work is to clarify the precise definitions of Wanderschaft and Wanderung in non-fictional writing in the German language between 1770 and 1850. Those two concepts refer to any journey, mainly done on foot, undertaken for a variety of motives, but they can also take on a metaphorical sense, primarily religious. By use of both synchronic and diachronic analysis of the lexical network, as well as with the help of a multidisciplinary approach to a variety of documents, integrating literature, linguistics, theology, historical texts, visual arts, music and journalism, it has been possible to establish, not only the polysemy of the two words, but also which functions these terms cover, by putting them into their global context. Preference has been given to non-fictional writing (accounts by travellers, correspondence, educational works). The authors of accounts of travels on foot in this period come from two distinct social classes: on one hand, the cultural elite (a composite group, just coming into being and originating mainly from the affluent bourgeoisie) and on the other hand, the Companions, ranging in different cases from the middle to the working class, suddenly given social validation by the publication of their travel notes. They all come from German-speaking countries, including parts of the Kingdom of Denmark as well as of Switzerland. The evolution of the use and functions of those two words, as well as their associative fields, mirrors that of the social, economic and cultural structures between 1770 and 1850. At the same tine,the scaling down and virtualisation of the pedestrian journey, initiated in aristocratic English-style parks, continue in urban panoramas, the rooms or the garden of grand houses, as well as in society's games. Finally, the analysis is completed by examining how the two notions are dealt with in newspapers, periodicals and almanacs, as well as in didactic literature for young people, popular songs and the visual arts

Full textAfter Constantinople’s conquest in 1453, the need to gather updated information on the city under its new rulers became a necessity. Not only the available documentation on the Turks was obsolete, the Ottomans themselves were different from the Seljuk dynasty encountered during the Crusades. Both Asian and European, Muslim and Christian, Turks and Greeks, defining the Ottoman society was a hard task that needed a journey and a shrewd observer. The Ottomans were involved in almost all the European and Mediterranean affairs whether through forming alliances, waging wars, creating puppet states or establishing trade routes. The Holy Roman Empire, France and the Italian city states were among the first to send emissaries to Constantinople. The reports gathered by the travelers offer a variety of first-hand eye witnesses of how the capital of the Ottoman Empire is ruled from daily life activities to the political vision of the sultan. The identity of the traveler plays a great role in determining the content of his report. An ambassador, a spy see things differently from a merchant or a monk. The perception of the Ottoman reality itself evolves from the beginning of the journey to its end. The representation of the average Turk, the sultan, the Greeks and other minorities in Constantinople gives a great insight about the social and political representation of self and others in Europe during the Renaissance. The frequent comparisons with the Roman Empire shows that, surprisingly, the Ottomans are inheriting some characteristics that explain their golden age with Mehmed the Conqueror and Suleiman the Magnificent. The result of crossing the traveler’s accounts leads to the unexpected conclusion that not only Constantinople is becoming Istanbul, it is reclaiming its Roman roots

Full textOne of Sterne’s remarks has enabled readers to contrast The Sentimental journey (1768) with Smollett's travel book, Travels through France and Italy (1766), from the day the novel was published. They obviously differ through their literary forms. However, works of fiction as well as ideas expressed in letters or other non-fiction works by the authors and by their contemporaries, enable us to find clues to the questions they raised and the certainties they felt they could depend upon. This study therefore makes use of those two kinds of data to anchor the works in a period when economic evolution and its attendant social changes kindled both hopes and anxieties in the minds of observers, especially in England. The reactions of the authors and their contemporaries tend to show such signs of ambiguity and hesitancy as can be expected in a period of upheavals. Travel literature in the eighteenth century was immensely popular with the reading public. Although France and the Italian states had often been described, interest in these subjects did not wane, especially as, in the case of France, the period was one of commercial rivalry, often leading to military conflict. Yet, in spite of the many common points they share, the two authors differ as to their aims, messages and stylistic choices. Smollett writes an interesting, entertaining and useful travel book meant mainly for British readers, while Sterne favors the human aspect and thus the more universal condition that he finds in foreign lands and people
Chlanda, Dorota. ""Tempus edax rerum" ("Le temps rongeur dévore tout", Ovide) : le voyage sur ses propres pas dans les écrits du prince Henryk Lubomirski." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO20150/document.
Full textThe purpose of the thesis « Tempus edax rerum » (« Le temps rongeur dévore tout », Ovide). Le voyage sur ses propres pas dans les écrits du prince Henryk Lubomirski is to approach the question of the second journey and the repercussions of the comeback to the same places on the author's perception. These problems are undertaken through the careful lecture of a number of up-to-date unknown manuscripts: that is, prince Henryk Lubomirski's travel diary and the correspondence with his adoptive mother Izabella Lubomirska, as well as others testimonies.In the preliminary part of the research, it was necessary to define the second journey, which for the purposes of this study, is a real experience of the already-visited. The very repetition of the itinerary allowed to discern the differences in the perception of landscapes, places of interest and historic monuments, all due to different factors; among which are someone's real life experience which form, modify and vary the traveller's sensibility. This in turn made possible an attempt to investigate the specificity of the doubled or renewed look apart from the underlying reasons, such as journey destination, motivation of the traveller, and the biography of the latter.The first part presents the history of the second journey, tracing it back to the Middle Ages, when it was a very uncommon phenomenon, and concluding with the French Revolution which is the moment of a sudden change, putting an end to one kind of travelling and giving way to another experience related to new sensibility, deriving from revolutionary upheaval. Thus, the study attempts to reveal particularity and universality of the second journey in the post-revolutionary era.This in itself is looked at through the lens of Goethe's peregrination across Italy and Chateaubriand's comebacks to Rome and London. In their texts the repetition evokes different emotions. Goethe being disappointed, in his account the new impressions drive away the old ones. Thus, for him the value of the second journey is based on erasing. Chateaubriand, on the other hand, draws a parallel between different times of his life as he observes the accumulation of sensations. The accounts of two Polish travellers from the period complete this historical section.In the second part are approached prince Henryk Lubomirski's biography and the circumstances of his second journey. In particular, his cultural background is taken into account as well as his adoptive mother's influence on his upbringing. She accompanied him in his Grand Tour in 1789-1780 and later on, in his maturity, assisting him in the task of the Polish cultural heritage protection.In 1811 he and his family leave Geneva because of his wife health problems. The stay in the South of France was planned to help her in her recovery and finding mental equilibrium. The journey takes place across post-revolutionary France where traces of atrocities are still clearly visible. The prince describes meticulously itinerary, means of transport, accommodation and events he attends. He writes down prices and practical information. He is particularly fond of landscapes he looks at with new sensibility, characteristic for the period. The sublime search, reflexions on the relation between nature and the states of soul and the fragility of the human fate multiply in the relation.The third part is related to memory and its different dimensions: individual, collective and national. We note that there is no innocent perception, it is always tinged with author's personal history. The memory lets the traveller read again places already visited and triggers memories. Thanks to its affective activity it converts neutral places into symbols of the pleasant, allowing the traveller to succeed in his perennial quest of recovering the world that no longer exists and finding himself back
Coelho, de Souza Ladeira Juliana. "Entre mondes : voyages, récits et entrelacements de pratiques autour du topeng balinais." Thesis, Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080123.
Full textPersonal accounts of certain Balinese and non-Balinese artists are the point of entry of this research conducted on practices of the Balinese topeng art form, as well as the intercultural issues often emerging in such experiences. In the theatrical milieu, Antonin Artaud’s narrative-testimony would found the bases for the creation of a Balinese imaginary and its multiple performative manifestations. Beginning in the 1970s, many theatre artists voyaged to Bali to learn in loco about these different artistic manifestations, specifically topeng. Inversely, certain Balinese artists would voyage abroad, establishing themselves in other countries. For non-Balinese artists, the trip to Bali has prompted different types of upheaval. Such disruptive moments have been described as instances in which otherness is directly perceived. This research addresses the learning processes and the upheavals of Balinese and non-Balinese artists, attempting to understand the different links to the mask and to the teaching and learning of dance. Can we establish the means in which these practices are transmitted? What relations have foreign artists maintained with topeng, with Bali, with the Balinese, themselves? How do certain Balinese artists perceive foreigners? The different aspects of the notion taksu, frequently translated as “stage presence” will be analysed to better comprehend the issues surrounding its diverse formulations. Finally, engaging a personal viewpoint, my own voyage to Bali signified a transformation of my cartography, a change of perspective that permitted rethinking the binary East-West, which is so predominant in discussions concerning Asia
Pita, Alva Cecilia. "Représentation filmique de la frontière et du voyage migratoire : Trois exemples du cinéma contemporain." Thesis, Perpignan, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PERP0017/document.
Full textThe border between Mexico and the United States is known for being one of the largest, busiest and most dangerous in the world. This "barrier-wall" is not only one of the most extensive, dangerous and crossed in the world, but it is also one of the most "porous" and the most filmed. This doctoral thesis focuses on the representation of that real and imaginary border in cinema. The purpose is to study what elements are used, which ones are reoccurring and how they are related in a corpus of three films whose constants are: the trip, the wait and the failure or success of crossing the border. The corpus is framed in Those Who Remind (Los que se quedan, Juan Rulfo y Carlos C. Hargerman, 2008), Norteado (Rigoberto Pérezcano, 2009), and A Better Life (Christian Weitz, 2011). Together these movies make a kind of a circle where the border, the journey and the crossing are rewritten. Our research is founded on the hypothesis that the trilogy represents the frontier in three stages or facets. From a physical or geographical point of view, in Los que se quedan, the border is perceived as a faraway place, it is seen from the “South”. In Norteado, the border gets closer until the immigrant crosses it. Meanwhile, in A better Lifethe borderline is situated far from the geographical line: In the “North”. The trilogy shows the movement of the border through the immigrant figure, in a trip which is performed in three moments. The spectator “constructs” the border through a migratory journey in three degrees, three faces and in three films. The concentration of Los que se quedan is on the characters rather than on the frontier as a space. Norteado focuses on two aspects: the border as a geographical place and what the character feels in transit. A better Life emphasizes on how the characters feel in front of the border

Full textJourney to the end of the night (Voyage au bout de la nuit), by the French author, Louis- Ferdinand Celine, caused a stir in literary circles and the public at large when it was launched in 1932. Its vitriolic tone and the popular idiom in which it was written were quite unprecedented, as was the vehemence with which Ferdinand Bardamu decried social injustice. This, the first book written by Celine, created a huge impact and until today continues to occupy an important place in the world of literature. The authors intention to breathe new life into the French literary canon by introducing the popular idiom into the written language was, without doubt, one of the factors behind this impact.The form of protest adopted by the novel is two-pronged: alongside the vehement denunciation of an absurd world, was the blow which was aimed at the very heart of academic literary language. There can be no doubt that the vast resonance created by the work is the result of this choice of language, which was considered to be both innovative and revolutionary when judged by the standards of its time.Today, Celines invention of writing the way we speak, has a particular air of spontaneity, which would have been lost, had the author instead resorted to the artifice of a more elaborate style. If the choice of language set off a wave of resounding scandals at the time, nowadays it is not the language, but rather the violent manner in which Bardamu refers to his peers that creates a similar impact upon contemporary readership. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine the two driving forces behind the text: the writing and Celines universe. The manner in which the voyage is approached leads to the perception of a world wrought from a dreamstate dimension, since it is an imaginary voyage which is announced in the foreword of the novel. This journey of ours is entirely imaginary. The journey to the nights end, undertaken by Celine has the sense of a slow and deliberate journey towards death. Once immersed in this universe, we are led to a place where the itineraries of Bardamu and Celine converge, suggesting strong autobiographical associations. Finally, this analysis allows us to reflect on the usage of a language constructed upon the code of a popular idiom, a mechanism used by its creator to introduce the paradox of emotive reasoning expressed in the popular idiom, into the written language.

Full textThe Third Book,A Sentimental Journey,Heart of Darkness and Journey to the End of the Night tell the story of a journey in which the places visited by the main character have less importance than the changes taking place in his consciousness. The journey becomes a quest for the lost meaning of things,through which the authors suggest a reflection on interpretation understanding of the other and the possibility to reach knowledge. These are therefore inner journeys that allow characters to know themselves better. These works,which are modern since they are influenced by various genres,also have a philosophical and metaphysical dimension because they analyse the place and the role of man in the universe

Full textPupils making the day trip to visit the Memorial Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau have a particular experience both of this site and the event the event of which is the trace. They do not passively receive information given to them, but reinvest it in their own fields of experience. They do it from various material elements and informations which are given during the day into the site. The image of the place is both the way by which something is communicated and at the same time the result of this communication. The report of how a group of pupil speaks about its visit a few weeks later allows to observe the constitution of this living space and this memory. What was felt puts itself in word, despite the difficulty of the passage perception proven to the discursive development manifested in most interlocutions situations. Every moment of the visit is associated with learned information that are general concepts they realize and mental representations they imagine, and with feelings. Through this, they become aware of the human nature that is both morbid and empathetic. So this is a different experience of those are touristic entertainment. There is a community between those who had this experience and the will to transmit that is both a civic requirement and a need to put in word an intimate real-life experience to understand it. However, to the extent that this transmission engages the intimacy of a real-life experience and not af a historical information, it is made only to close people perceived as being interested

Full textEurope of the end of the XVIIIth century and of the beginning of the XIXth century is a space of movements and exchanges of knowledges. In this period, numerous scholars crossed the European space to discover new horizons and experience the journey. An almost compulsory rite of passage which the knight of Jaucourt, in the Encyclopedia, considered necessary. The scholars then began to elaborate new knowledges and little by little to specialize. But from his/her part the literary life was crossing Lights in the romanticism and some of these scholars again preferred to define themselves as men of letters rather than as scientists.In this space and in this time of transitions we shall arrest on a man who dreams about sciences, about journeys and about glory.

Here the rhythm ofCélines prose is apprehended in its lexical dimension, with particular attention to a 5guiding theme, namely that of jazz music. In the first part, the jazz theme isfore-grounded through an examination of Célines orthographic variations andspecifically to his idiosyncratic use of small and capital letters. It also brings to bearthe varied effect of the use of the pronoun on. The second part of the thesis isdevoted to the topic of improvisation. It presents an analysis of ways in which formal,functional and semantic neologisms are rendered in Rumanian translations. Finally,the third part seks to identify several governing principles of a poetic dimension inCélines novel, which often pose a challenge to translators, such as lexicalrecurrence, semantic profusion, literal usage and the arbitrary relation of signifiers.This thesis proposes an analytical contribution to scholarschip on Céline through aclose, « practico-theoretical reading of the text

Full textBetween 1780 and 1830 the conception of landscape, changed radically. At the turn of XVIIIth and XIXth centuries a brotherhood of artists were in Rome who had a new concept of the relationship between architecture and nature. The aesthetic journeys undertaken by these four Frenchmen of the same generation, Jérôme-René Demoulin (1758-1799), Jacques Moulinier (1757-1828), François Liger (1757-?) and Antoine-Laurent Castellan (1772-1838) are the subject of this study. Whilst following their profession as artists, travellers and making long journey across Europe in time of war, they maintained their link with the city of Montpellier. Involved at the heart of scientific investigations or making journeys in pursuit of the picturesque, these men made a harvest of designs from Madrid to Constantinople. The object of this study is firstly torediscover the individual journeys and drawings of each one and to come close to their individual aesthetic. The musee Fabre at Montpellier holds a large proportion of the drawings made during their travels within its collections. Thus in order to complete a definitive catalogue for each of these artists, 4 new catalogues from a total of 450 designs, a great deal of exacting research was necessary. Secondly to analyse each body of work to discover the place each one held in contemporary artistic trends more exacting study was required. These men form neither a group or a sample study. By their works and travels they represent a fragment of the landscape work of their time. Inheritors of their ideas in the XIXth century from the picturesque views of Jacques Moulinier, to the intuition of Antoine-Laurent Castellan, who made his studies in the forest of Fontainebleau from 1819, prefigure the future concepts of landscape

Full textThis research presents a thorough study on the Songe du Vieil Pelerin focused on four aspects: the complex structure of the allegorical-didactic journey described by Philippe de Mezieres; the internal coherence and cohesion that contribute to the unity of the text; the use of sources and the critical reception by Mezieres' contemporaries. From a general standpoint, the main goal of this research is to clarify the inner workings of Mezieres' creative endeavour, in order to better understand the place of the Songe in the literary context of the late fourteenth century. The research begins with a detailed analysis of the prologue, where Mezieres provides the keys to understand his work and organizes its reasoning on the problem of truth, distinguishing between a spiritual, moral, and verbal truth. This analysis marks the way of the pilgrim – the Songe main character – throughout Mezieres' work, both in the story and in the frequent didactical digressions. When the pilgrim's path ends, the rethorical model that underlies the entire work is explained with the help of the concepts of polémique and pénitence, to show how Mezieres conceives his work as a first step in the way of a social and spiritual renewal
Sadovnik, Leonardo. "Le paysage, l'autre, l'écriture dans les poèmes de James Sacré. Le désir à l'œuvre." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011MON30084.
Full textThe thesis concerns the whole James Sacré’s poetic work, contemporary French poet born in Cougou (Vendée) in 1939. As its title indicates it, it deals with problems connected with poetic representation of the landscape, the other and the very writing. These three major faces of the work establish a base from which spreads the poetic reflection of J. Sacré and hispractice of the writing. Practised and figurative writing, thus, essentially as desirous relation to the world, to others and to the language. Hence, the reflection tries to approach the poetic writing as dynamics to restore a continuity between the text and its object of desire, the reference horizon of the reality and the addressee. The adopted critical perspective, bythinking of the poem not as object but as phenomenon, borrows widely from two disciplines which do not recover from the literary critic, the phenomenology and the psychoanalysis. They allow to enlighten eloquent opening to the world and to others whom characterizes the lyric of J. Sacré. Every part of the thesis thus describes the articulations of a triple relation ofdesire within the framework of a major axis of the Sacrean poetics. The first one corresponds to the literary representation of the landscape as it is the environment of the connection to the other, and as it arouses a recurring questioning on the incapacity of the language to restore completely the reality. The writing of the journey also puts at stake the relation of desire in the foreign landscapes and to its others. Finally the ‘mise en abîme’ of the writing represents the poetic enterprise as composition of a textual landscape and as love relation to the reader

Full textThis thesis is a study of the transformation processes undergone by a Western adult, in the first half of his life, after a series of trips to the Far East. In making a detour "to the most distant," the aim is not to think the training process with reference to the extraordinary journeys or the unusal trials, regardless of the everyday life. Concisely, the connection made between "journey paractices" and "reflexive practices" leads to the formulation of a framework to think the initiated transformations and to structure accompanying practices in the field of vocational training. Emprirically, the research is based on the study of the journey of life of an adult born in France in the 1970s. The whole study is fulfilled according to a survey methodology called "biographical explanation." The used methodology consists of crossing biographical interviews -the narration of the life course in its different periods- and the explanation interviews to explore the unique and special moments

Reassessing the official voice of the Jeffersonian discourse, embodied by the captains in charge of a mission with geopolitical, economic and scientific purposes, our research aims at shedding new light on the writings of the Corps of Discovery, in an attempt to rehabilitate the somewhat neglected voices of the sergeants and soldiers of the group, often deemed secondary but actually indicative of alternate vantage points, allowing for new historiographical perspectives. This new reading of a critical episode in the history of the North American continent, as well as its people, will endeavour to show that, beyond the leaders’ reports, it is only through the symphony of intertwining “official” and “dissenting” voices that true relevance and accuracy may be achieved in the final synthetic narrative. More than two centuries after the transcontinental journey of the party led by Lewis and Clark, this study will aim at systematically interconnecting the whole set of manuscripts devoted to the narration of the voyage, for a better and renovated approach of these precious primary sources. This analysis is linked to the broader framework of the Jeffersonian policy, the main aspects of which shall first be presented, in order to fully grasp the exceptional nature of a profoundly “American” epic, through the prism of the various testimonies
Psaltopoulos, Brigitte. "L'écriture de José Manuel Fajardo : entre roman d'aventure et roman historique." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE2021/document.
Full textThis thesis introduces the trilogy by José Manuel Fajardo (1957) composed of Carta del fin del mundo (1996), El Converso (1998) and Mi nombre es Jamaica (2010).These three works are part of the historical adventure novel sub-genre. Focusing on time, space and characters, this research work is aimed at making a distinction between history and adventure in these three works that refer to significant periods in the history of Spain (the conquest, the Golden Age). The numerous references to the expulsion of the Moriscos or the Sephardic diaspora show the author's willingness to work as a historian by saving fromoblivion some parts of Spanish history neglected by official history. This historical exploitation goes hand in hand with fictionalizing the historical matter _such as the discovery of America or piracy in the seventeenth century in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean seas_ which makes it possible for the author to create adventure. This adventure is experienced by the heroes as a search for identity that leads them, through the crossing of countless spaces, to their promised land; whichgives them potent human depth

Abstract Using a combined methodology of narrative inquiry and action research, this study explored actions and changes in the author, a teacher of an inclusive class, and Chiangchiang (pseudonym), a student with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), over a two-year period of learning and adaptation. Through self-reflection as a teacher, the author conducted an in-depth investigation into the traces of changes in her and the student as well as the growth opportunities for both of them. Based on personal experiences and experiences with Chiangchiang, the author used staged action plans to gradually learn her beliefs and value expectations. Through writing and self-reflection, she had cognitive changes and obtained a new direction for future actions. During the research period, she constantly adjusted her action plans in response to contextual needs and used a narrative approach to induce self-awakening and self-criticism. The main findings are as follows: 1. Through self-exploration, she found that all the barriers to her interaction with Chiangchiang were related to the stark contrast in the family of origin and the environment between them. While the author had a smooth journey in pursuit of education, Chiangchiang suffered developmental deficits; she has a happy family life, but Chiangchiang lost his parent in childhood; she always has a hope, but he is aimless in life. 2. Through constant adjustment of actions in response to contextual needs, the author found personal weaknesses and the need to seek proper assistance at the right time; she also realized that a child’s growth takes time and learned to “offer companionship” and “wait”. 3. Through actions, changes, and self-reflection, the author developed the class management strategies that would be adopted by regular class teachers. She also induced effective strategies for co-growing with students with ADHD, including creating a positive class atmosphere, employing an assistant teacher to provide assistance, the sandwich feedback technique, and seeking external assistance, in order to build a professional support system. 4. Through this study, the author gained more confidence in dealing with different teaching contexts and in promoting inclusive education.

Full textBeing open to the world is trending with today’s youth in Quebec and elsewhere. Members of the Generation Y, young people are already familiar with "new technologies". Indeed, the digital ways and the social media networks have no secret for them, and allow them to keep in touch on a worldwide scale. It then becomes tempting to leave on an adventure, a bag on their back, to conform to the view of being open to the world as a quality. The present Master’s thesis considers the notion of backpacking, namely a trending way of travelling by young people, in particular students, by putting a bag on their back and leaving on a journey to enrich their qualities as individuals. Indeed, leaving their social epicenter, often alone, while traveling "light" in foreign parts of the world contributes to their capacity to act on their own initiative and acquiring qualities susceptible to highlight their individuality. This trend is theoretically designed in the light of theses about individualization present in sociology and which, here, will be considered with nuances. The current analysis leans on semi-directive interviews from backpackers considered representative of this inclination to put their daily routine on hold in order to act by themselves. The study produced in the pages of this report reveals that, at their level, they travel freely, while keeping a smart phone or a portable device which they constantly remain connected to their social epicenter, their parents and friends. In doing so, the devices exercise a power of inflection on their trip and on their actions abroad. How do we explain this paradox? Backpacking with the intention to act on their own, but constantly be subjected to others opinions, which in turn can in some respects govern the control facilitating individualization at its quality value. That is what the Master’s thesis tries to explain.
