Behrend, Heike. "“Wondering with an Unending Wonder”: Remarks on Ham Mukasa's Journey to England in 1902." History in Africa 25 (1998): 55–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3172180.
Full textAbstract:
Stephen Greenblatt has shown that wonder was the central characteristic of the first European encounters with the New World and the decisive emotional and intellectual experience in the face of radical difference (Greenblatt 1994:27). Wonder, says Greenblatt, appears to be a category immune to all denial and ideological co-optation, and it exerts an irresistible force. It occurs in a moment when meanings are lacking and is accompanied by the fragmentation of contextual understanding (Greenblatt 1994:33).Wonder was already an essential topic of discourses in philosophy and art even before the voyages of discovery (Matuschek 1991); thus, for Socrates, philosophy begins with astonishment and wonder, and the art of poetry intends the creation of the wondrous (Greenblatt 1994:33). Greenblatt argues that the frequency and intensity with which European discoverers of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries referred to the experience of the wondrous provoked its conceptual elucidation (Greenlbatt 1994:34). The colonization of the wondrous began; and astonishment became a means of appropriation and subjugation (Greenblatt 1994:42).By the nineteenth century, the century of European journeys of discovery in Africa, wonder had been used up. English, French, and German travelers no longer wondered about anything. Their glance had achieved a confidence that allowed them to objectify and take possession of what was foreign to them. It was now the various Others, the objects of their glance, to whom they imputed the wonder they themselves were no longer capable of.

Full textAbstract:
The French romantic poet Alphonse de Lamartine traveled to the East—namely, Syria, Palestine, and parts of the Balkans—in 1832–33, with his wife and daughter. His account of these travels, the Voyage en Orient, was published in 1835 and went on to become one of the major Eastern travel-narratives of the nineteenth century. Edward Said was scathing about it in Orientalism: “What remains of the Orient in Lamartine's prose is not very substantial at all … the sites he has visited, the people he has met, the experiences he has had, are reduced to a few echoes in his pompous generalizations” (179). I would not dissent from this assessment. But Said was not the first to remark on the nature of Lamartine's representations of the Orient. In 1859, twenty-four years after the French poet's visit to the East, a young Beiruti poet and journalist, Khalīl al-Khūrī, made an Arabic translation and commentary, with some sharp criticisms, of one of the poems included in Voyage en Orient.

Full textAbstract:
Our paper aims at understanding how travelling shaped Michel Leiris’ life and work. For Leiris, travelling is first a therapeutic escape, which enables him to overcome hardships by breaking away from his environment. Dissatisfied with his nature of his travels, he searches for another way to travel by taking up ethnography, expecting that it will provide him with an opportunity to establish an authentic contact with others. Disillusioned by an ethnographic mission in Africa, he comes to realise that true contact can only be achieved through a common fight against colonialism. Chagrined by his numerous travels, he finally commits to a one-way journey by attempting to commit suicide.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the poetics of childhood in Moroccan filmmaker Nabil Ayouch’s Ali Zaoua, Prince of the Streets, focusing on dream culture, sea travel, and elements of Sufi mysticism. In Ali Zaoua, symbols such as eyes, a compass, Twin Towers, sea travel, and an imaginary island with two suns visualize an Islamic dream culture. Ayouch presents the cruelty of life on the streets marked by violence, filth, and concrete, yet the film celebrates a dream culture by focusing on fantasy, images of a spiritual voyage, poetry, and Sufi mysticism, which eclipse the harsh, socially realistic portrayal of the lives of homeless children.

This article examines diverse travel narratives about steamship voyages to Asia in the first two decades after the opening of the Suez Canal, with special focus on journeys through the Suez Canal, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean. Sources include Polish, Serbian and Russian authors: Julian Fałat, Vlado Ivelić, Lucjan Jurkiewicz, Milan Jovanović, Vsevolod Krestovskiy, Karol Lanckoroński, Bronisław Piłsudski, Paweł Sapieha, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Ivan Yuvachev, Hugo Zapałowicz, and Ivan Zarubin. Given this variety of sources, consisting of 12 accounts in 3 languages, written by different types of travellers with dissimilar social backgrounds, it is possible to demonstrate a variety of phenomena that may be associated with steamship voyages. The two main issues examined here are: 1) the coexistence of multiple mobilities in the era of steam power, 2) different experiences of time while voyaging.

Full textAbstract:
The time of the Renaissance created the new model of the man-humanist. European patterns stimulated to the cultural or educational development of different fields of the social life. A bloom of the education took place, a thirst for knowledge, an interest in learning, world, travels, getting new experiences. A man educated, being good at foreign languages, opened for changes was appreciated. Geographical discoveries and their effects forever changed the image of the earth. Sixteenth-century peregrinations contributed to the development of states, economic and civilization expansion, and the bloom of culture area. Pedagogic meaning of Renaissance journeys is indisputable. Experience from voyages all over world, extending ranges, the permeation of cultures, the learning of foreign languages, the increase in the knowledge, the development of learning, education and artistic fields bear fruit to this day in the global scale.

This article focuses the relationship between journeys and photographs especially among anthropologists who travel. Having travelled to the Upper Negro River as an advisor of a PhD student, I discuss what digital photographs may mean in a context where verbal communication is impossible. Real or imaginary journeys are a source of images, reports, or travel logs in which it is difficult to discern what is real and what is fiction. After discussing a few famous scientific and literary journeys, the article focuses on some anthropological journeys and concludes that images produced by anthropologists are a result of trained intuition, a sensitive gaze, and memories of former travels. The article includes photographic essays that incorporate pictures I took in February 2012 among the Hupd'äh, in the Upper Negro River region.

“Journey in Mathematics: 'My Travels with Gulliver'” is a California state-approved fourth-through sixth-grade unit integrating mathematics, reading, listening, writing, and drawing. The unit is based on the classic story Gulliver's Travels, written by Jonathan Swift in 1726, which describes Gulliver's voyages to Lilliput, the land of tiny people, and Brobdignag, the land of giants. Titania is a land created by the authors of the unit, and Ourland is the students' own classroom. The unit encourages students to explore scaling, measurement, area, and perimeter in a hands-on fashion, such as when Gulliver encounters a carpet peddler.

There are few figures as universally beloved and yet recognizably “Middle Eastern” as Sindbad. The text of Sindbad's seven voyages travel easily across continents and languages and many of the tales blur imperceptibly into those of Homer'sThe Odysseyand Swift'sGulliver's Travels. Yet this swashbuckling adventurer is also firmly situated in the world of Abbasid Iraqandthe Indian Ocean world. Sindbad is clearly identified as a good Muslim and respected Baghdadi merchant, and while fantastical, there are recognizable geographic and cultural markers that locate his voyages within the Indian Ocean world. This iconic character of Arab popular culture pushes us to contemplate how easily the Arab world flows into that of the Indian Ocean.

Full textAbstract:
One of the crucial figures of American Modernist poetry, Hart Crane (1899–1932) is notorious for baffling both readers and critics with his nearly impenetrable rhetoric. The paper focuses on “Voyages”, a sextet of poems from the poet’s first collection, White Buildings (1926), aiming to prove that his so-called obscurity is often a result of a rather simplistic approach to poetry analysis, where the sound of the verses is dismissed in favour of a purely semantic analysis. Using some of the more recent criticism of Crane’s work, such as Reed’s and Tapper’s studies, the author argues that “Voyages” can be interpreted as a cyclical poetic rumination on the nature of love and poetry, dominated by the motif of the sea. Special attention is paid to the intertextual reading, wherein Crane’s poem is put firmly within the context of traditional love poetry by the authors such as Donne, Wordsworth, Shelley, Whitman and Rimbaud, with the last two poets providing another context, that of queer love poetry.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article explores the circulation and use of travel writings within the seventeenth-century "culture of curiosity", focusing on a figure at the heart of this milieu, Melchisédech Thévenot (? 1622–1692), and his edited Relations de divers voyages curieux (1663–1672). The Thévenot case reveals the importance of travel writing for the scholarly community in a period when the modern boundaries between disciplines were not yet formed, and when the nature of geographical knowledge was undergoing radical change. The collection, discussion and publication of the travel collection are shown to be part of the program of Thévenot's experimental "assembly" to investigate the "arts".

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Scholars hold that Xenophanes was a wandering rhapsode or a perpetually itinerant performer. This consensus depends on the combination of a misunderstanding of one testimonium (D.L. 9.18 = A1), a misapprehension of another testimonium as a fragment (B45), and a questionable interpretation of one genuine fragment (B8), which probably describes not Xenophanes' bodily travels but rather the travels of his disembodied thought through the panhellenic circulation of his poetry. Rather than being some sort of special itinerant figure, this essay argues, Xenophanes was a settled elite and a celebrated poet during his own lifetime whose movements reflected his participation in normal networks of xenia and patronage.

Введение. Рассматривается тема морского путешествия у Антонина Ладинского на примере сборника «Черное и голубое», первого в творчестве поэта, в котором сформировались магистральные линии его поэзии, развившиеся в последующих сборниках. Цель – проследить семантику морского плавания у поэта с учетом акмеистических влияний на него Н. Гумилева, у которого эта тема, став одной из основных в творчестве, отразила основные принципы акмеистического мировидения поэта. Материал и методы. Методология исследования предполагает литературоведческую интерпретацию лирических текстов с пониманием теоретических основ поэтики акмеизма («чужое слово», полифонический текст, динамическое пространство и пр.). Использовался также метод интертекстуального анализа при сопоставлении текстов, принадлежащих к разным литературным эпохам. Результаты и обсуждение. Творчество Ладинского уже было предметом научных изысканий, отмечалась и ориентация поэта на символизм и акмеизм, указывалась сложность отнесения его лирики к какому-либо из этих модернистских течений. Но морское путешествие как центральная тема первого сборника «Черное и голубое» в контексте акмеистической поэтики еще не привлекало внимания исследователей. Рассмотрено влияние гумилевской темы морских странствий на лирику Антонина Ладинского в плане полемики поэта с мэтром акмеизма, выявлено своеобразие рассматриваемой темы в связи с его эмигрантским опытом. Заключение. В лирике Антонина Ладинского морское путешествие становится отражением его пути эмигранта, и в этом смысле он полемизирует с Н. Гумилевым, у которого тема плавания по морям имеет культурологический смысл и отражает акмеистический принцип познания Жизни через Искусство. Семантика морского путешествия в контексте акмеистической поэтики позволяет Ладинскому сказать свое слово миру, присоединив свой голос к могучему культурному хору певцов морской стихии. Акмеистическая позиция оказывается близка ему своей земной природой, а символистская – осознанием мощной силы инобытия. Через диалог с «чужим словом» поэт декларирует собственный опыт освоения мира, отличный как от акмеистов, так и от символистов. Трагический взгляд на мир, обусловленный ситуацией эмиграции, звучит в первом сборнике еще не в полную мощь, акмеистическое «принятие действительности» еще имеет свою «инерцию», но осознание случившегося как катастрофы и пути в мир смерти уже произошло. Introduction.The article examines the topic of sea travel by Antonin Ladinsky using the example of the collection “Black and Blue”, the first in the poet’s work, in which the main lines of his poetry were formed, further developed in subsequent collections. Aim and objectives: to trace the semantics of sea navigation, taking into account the acmeistic influences on the poet by N. Gumilyov, for whom this topic was one of the main in his work and reflected the basic principles of the acmeistic worldview of the poet. Material and methods. The research methodology assumes a literary interpretation of lyric texts with an understanding of the theoretical foundations of the poetics of acmeism (“alien word”, polyphonic text, dynamic space, etc.). The method of intertextual analysis was also used when comparing texts belonging to different literary eras. Results and discussion. Ladinsky’s work was already the subject of scientific research, the poet’s orientation towards symbolism and acmeism was also noted, the difficulty of attributing his lyrics to any of these modernist movements was indicated. But sea voyage as the central theme of the first collection “Black and Blue” in the context of acmeistic poetics has not yet attracted the attention of researchers. We examined the influence of the Gumilev theme of sea voyages on the lyrics of Ant. Ladinsky in terms of the poet’s polemic with the master of acmeism, the originality of the topic under consideration is revealed in connection with his emigre experience. Conclusion. In the lyrics of Antonin Ladinsky, the sea voyage becomes a reflection of his path as an emigrant, and in this sence he argues with N. Gumilev, whose theme of sailing on the seas has a culturological meaning and reflects the acmeistic principle of cognizing Life through Art. The semantics of sea travel, in the context of acmeistic poetics, allows Ladinsky to say his word to the world, adding his voice to the mighty cultural choir of the singers of the sea. The acmeistic position turns out to be close to him by its earthly nature, and the symbolist one – by the awareness of the powerful force of otherness. Through dialogue with the “alien word”, the poet declares his own experience of mastering the world, which is different from both the Acmeists and the Symbolists. The tragic view of the world, conditioned by the situation of emigration, sounds in the first collection not yet in full force, the acmeistic “acceptance of reality” still has its “inertia”, but the awareness of what happened as a catastrophe and the path to the world of death has already occurred.

Full textAbstract:
Born in Calcutta in 1856 and dying only twenty-one years later of tuberculosis, the young Bengali writer Toru Dutt wrote novels and poems in English and French, translated French poetry into English, and toward the end of her life revisited Bengali myths and tales from the Ramayana in her poetry. Her multilingual poems and translations have traditionally been interpreted as seeking to dissolve or fragment cultural differences. This essay instead argues for Dutt seeking to consolidate difference, reconceived as possibility: by distributing her poems to friends in England and receiving gifts of poems in return, Dutt sought to create a transnational friendship economy involving the material exchange of poetic texts. She then theorises this exchange in the work itself, arguing in novels, poems and inexact translations for regarding the resistant materiality of poetry and language both as imperfect tools that can nonetheless be utilised to forge community and understanding – however utopian, however fragile and temporary – across seemingly incommensurable cultural differences, perhaps even across the inequities of imperial history.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the history of Siberian travels and performances of the poet Victor Sosnora (1936–2019) in 1964–1966. During this short period, the poet had visited Siberia four times. Our study focuses not only on Sosnora’s speech during the 5th Poetry Day at the Novosibirsk Electrotechnical Institute (NSTU), held in the spring of 1966, but also on publications and discussions in the institute newspaper “Energiia” (“Energy”). Materials from other newspapers, published in Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Omsk are also used (namely, “For Science from Siberia,” “Youth of Siberia,” the “Soviet Siberia,” “East Siberian Truth,” “Young Siberian,” “Soviet Youth,” etc.). In the mid-1960s a certain group of students (E.S. Sсhurygin, Yu.N. Kislyakov), as well as of people of literature (E.G. Rappoport, A.G. Rappoport, E.K. Stewart, I.O. Fonyakov, B.G. Polovnikov), art (N.D. Gritsyuk) and science (A.D. Aleksandrov, V.L. Glebov) was formed in Novosibirsk. It was up to these people to realize the importance of such literary phenomenon as Victor Sosnora. His poetry, which by that moment had entered the period of maturity, had enthusiastic admirers in Siberia. Among them was the critic and literary historian E.G. Rappoport who happened to meet Sosnora in Leningrad earlier than others. It was also up to him to organize his travels to siberian cities and to help him with publications in local press. Extensive empirical materials concerning the reception of Sosnora’s poetry in Siberia at the time of heated discussions between so called “physicists” and “lyricists” has been collected. A special place among these publications is occupied by the article about Sosnorа written by student Evgeny Sсhurygin. This article caused a heated discussion in the press. In its turn, such travels, as well as his involvement in the avant-garde artists of the “first call” (N.N. Aseev, L.Yu. Brik), happened to strengthen in the poet the feeling of himself as a medieval poet-juggler, up to whom it is to subordinate the mighty of this world with the help of his charm and talent. Traces of the Siberian theme are also presented in the poetry and prose of Victor Sosnora.

Full textAbstract:
The twelfth Duke of Edinburgh Lecture was presented in London on 15 October 1986 at the Royal Geographical Society to the thirty-ninth Annual General Meeting of the Institute, the President in the Chair. The lecturer, the President said in his introductory remarks, was a geographical scholar who had devoted much of his time to the verification of early voyages by following the paths described in the often legendary accounts:the travels of Marco Polo in 1961 and later the voyages on which the present paper is based, of St Brendan, Sindbad and Jason. In 1976–7 in the medieval leather boat Brendan he followed a route from Ireland across the Atlantic described in the 8/9th century Navigatio. In 1980–81 in the Arabian boom Sohar he sailed over 6000 miles from Oman to Canton in a reconstruction of Sindbad's seven voyages described in One Thousand and One Nights, and finally in 1984 in Argo, a reconstructed Greek vessel of the 13th century B.C., his voyage took him from Greece through the Bosphorus to Georgia in the USSR, following the legendary path of Jason in search of the Golden Fleece. No-one could be better fitted to reflect on the human factor in early navigation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The voyages of Captain James Cook (1728–1779) inaugurated, among manifold historical processes, an encounter of textile traditions. Pacific Islanders were keenly interested in European fabrics; Europeans were fascinated by Oceanic textiles such as beaten bark cloth, which was extensively collected from Cook’s first voyage onwards. Among manifestations of European interest, bark cloth sample books such as those produced as multiples by Alexander Shaw in 1787 have been a focus of research and curatorial activity in recent years. This essay considers a recently-identified book of specimens which pre-dates Shaw’s by some fifteen years. It exemplifies a brief but seemingly intense European interest in Polynesian bark cloth, embracing the fabrics’ technical, material, aesthetic, social and ritual aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Mandeville’s Travels, a fourteenth-century narrative, questions the link between learned and popular culture in medieval travel books. Indeed, the large amount of sources which the author used to depict the world reveals his encyclopedic ambitions. Moreover, Mandeville takes part in the intellectual and scientific reflections of his time. Nevertheless, his narrative is also characterized by a taste for the marvelous, for the pleasures of telling stories and staging sensual pleasures. Now these themes are usually associated with popular culture. A certain tension seems to exist within the book between learned and popular cultures. The unity of the book is nonetheless achieved through a criticism of medieval Christendom which aims at stirring consciences in all levels of society.

Les mémoires de Robinson Crusoé sont « le livre le plus captivant jamais écrit pour des garçons », selon Leslie Stephen. Édité par Daniel Defoe, l’ouvrage s’est inscrit dans la conscience littéraire de la civilisation européenne et depuis trois siècles, nous éprouvons le besoin d’étudier et de synthétiser les questions scientifiques intrigantes et interreliées qu’il soulève dans les domaines de l’histoire, de la géographie, de la cartographie, de l’astronomie, de la géologie, de la botanique, de la zoologie, de la climatologie, de l’archéologie, de l’anthropologie, de l’ethnologie et de la linguistique. De plus, quand l’histoire est véridique, les lecteurs et lectrices la suivent sur une carte avec avidité. Or, l’une des îles de l’archipel Juan Fernández, au Chili, est connue sans raison évidente sous le nom d’ Isla Robinson Crusoe. L’île Cocos, au Costa Rica, nous parait être une candidate plus convaincante, si l’on se fie aux observations du narrateur sur la latitude, les marées, le climat, la flore, la faune et le relief topographique, ainsi que sur sa carte de 1719. Les voyages de Crusoé à travers la Chine, la Russie et les Pyrénées fournissent une information géographique unique, sous la forme de douzaines de toponymes. Les différentes éditions des trois parties du livre contiennent quelques coquilles dans les noms géographiques. L’itinéraire du voyageur est comparé à celui de l’ambassadeur Ides et à de nombreuses cartes contemporaines.

This paper discusses the uses and abuses of poetry in two recent, popular films, one American “Dead Poets Society” and one British “Four Weddings and a Funeral”. I aim to show how poetry travels from the field of high culture and is recuperated from obscurity by being quoted in these feel-good dramas. Flowever, along the transtextual path something is also lost, and rather than simple quotation, what happens to the poems in question is something beyond allusion, or even plagiarism, pastiche, parody, or counterfeiting - namelywhat Guy Debord termed détournement.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on the poetry writing of two fifth graders, Long and Colleen, who participated in a month-long Poet in the Schools program. Children were immersed in reading diverse poetry, after which they were given open composing time to write their own poetry. Their poems had a craft sophistication that largely came from poetic structure, that is, how a poem moves, how it travels from beginning to end. Their poems also had emotive material from their own lives—their cultures, families, and histories. A premise of this article is that an emphasis on immersion in diverse mentor texts and poetic structure can help children write beyond the popularized forms of acrostic, haiku, limerick, or cinquain.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of international exhibition of tourism and travels “ SITEV” in improving the Algerian tourism destination image, and its impact on attractiveness of tourists, through the questionnaire that was sent by e-mail and Facebook, and it was conducted on a sample of responsible of Algerian travels and tourism agencies especially in inbound tourism and its participation in the 19th edition that was organized in 2018.The findings indicate that the SITEV has many positive aspects and reflects the history, authenticity and cultural heritage of Algeria tourism destination that it was contributing in improving Algeria tourism destination image. However, the weakness of media coverage and the high costs of venue are contributed to reluctance of foreign operators and tourists to participate in the last editions which will require great efforts and promotion campaigns across big media channels and diminishing costs.
Cette étude vise à examiner l'efficacité du Salon International du Tourisme et des Voyages « SITEV » dans l'amélioration de l'image de la destination touristique Algérienne, et son impact sur l'attractivité des touristes étrangers. Et ce à travers le questionnaire qui a été envoyé par e-mail et Facebook, et qui a été réalisé chez un échantillon de responsables Algériens au niveau d'agences de voyages et de tourisme ; notamment les agences qui s’occupent des touristes étrangers et spécialement celles qui ont participés à la 19ème édition du Salon organisée en 2018.Les résultats obtenus indiquent que le SITEV dispose de nombreux aspects positifs et reflète réellement l'histoire, l'authenticité et le patrimoine culturel de l'Algérie. Ces éléments ont contribué à leur tour à l’amélioration de l'image de la destination touristique Algérienne. Néanmoins ; la faiblesse de la couverture médiatique et les coûts élevés de loyer des stands contribuent à la réticence des opérateurs étrangers et des touristes à participer surtout aux dernières éditions, ce qui nécessitera de grands efforts et des campagnes de promotion sur les grandes chaines médiatiques internationales spécialisées, ainsi que la révision des coûts de loyer des stands afin de les diminuer.

The poet, in the 21st century, travels through websites, surfs the internet, wanders through the cloud and comes up against the challenge of overcoming the challenge of the new time: ‘making poetry with pirated words’. Based on such considerations, the proposal of the article consists of verifying how the creation of the poem Livro das Postagens, authored by Carlito Azevedo (2016) is anchored in the methodology of “writing-through” (Perloff 2013). The study is organized in two stages: the first contextualizes specific moments in Brazilian poetry; the second presents the study on the poem Livro das Postagens.

They also provide us with information on the stages of his career, on his literary talent and culture, as well as on some aspects of his personality and on how he wanted to be seen.

The poet’s culture is one of his most important poetic tributaries. The poet Souad Al-Sabah traveled a lot, toured the countries of the East and the Maghreb, and during her travels she saw many aspects of those lands that she visited and lived in, and got to know multiple cultures that sometimes agree with her Arab culture, and differ. In her poems, the poet was greatly influenced by those cultures, as was evident in her adoption of some ideas, taking a certain position from others, and rebelling against the culture of her Arab society and eastern traditions, and muttering at other times to the stagnation and lack of civility in our Arab culture.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The travelogues from the late-19th century voyages of Iranians offer important knowledge on the political, social and cultural history of the modern state. Attention has been directed mainly towards the diaries of travels in Europe, less to the works recording the impressions of those who, for various reasons, travelled within the country during the Qâjâr era. Among these, the Khâterât-e Hâjj Sayyâh, by Mirzâ Mohammad ‘Ali Mahallâti, better known as Hâjj Sayyâh, is of remarkable interest. The article examines several aspects of this ‘travel diary’; in particular their revelation of the author’s critical and pessimistic vision of his homeland and those who are currently governing it. We observe the processes of defining a national ‘self’ in contrast to the ‘other’, influenced by comparisons between Europe and the needs for modernisation, but also from memories of greatness.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article explores the scientific travels of French members of mendicant orders in the early modern Atlantic World. The Royal Cosmographer André Thevet, the Capuchin Claude D’Abbeville and the Minim Charles Plumier demonstrate a coherent but evolving Franciscan perspective in missionary scientific observation on the colonial frontier. It argues that the Franciscan monastic tradition, the Franciscan reform movement, and the teachings of the Minim order interacted with the colonial landscape and encounters with local environments and indigenous peoples in the Atlantic and Caribbean to produce a unique tradition of natural knowledge production. This tradition culminates in the convergence of the Minim worldview with the cartographic and observational program of the Paris Academy of Sciences in the Atlantic voyages of the French Minim friar and scientific traveler Louis Feuillée at the turn of the eighteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
In his youth, Richard Henry Dana Jr. rebelled against the conventions of his upper-class New England upbringing when he signed on as a common sailor on a merchant ship bound for Alta California. The notes of his travels describe the strenuous life at sea, a captain’s sadistic streak, a crew’s mutinous tendencies, and California’s multicultural fur trade economy. First published in 1840, Dana’s travelogue Two Years Before the Mast became an unofficial guide for emigrants traversing the largely unmapped far western territories in the wake of the Mexican-American War. Connecting Dana’s widely-read narrative to current developments in the discipline, this article discusses strategies of visualizing literature and includes an exercise in ‘discursively mapping’ actual and imagined spaces and mobilities of the text. Considering strategies and toolsets from the digital humanities as well as theories such as Lefebvre’s concept of representational space, the article reflects on the methodological and practical pitfalls brought about by the visualization.

Full textAbstract:
In reforming psalmody in early nineteenth-century New England, participants in the so-called “Ancient Music” movement imported the solemnly refined hymn tunes and scientific rhetoric of Europe. This transatlantic exchange was in part the result of European travels by a generation of young members of the American socioeconomic and intellectual elite, such as Joseph Stevens Buckminster and John Pickering, whom scholars have not previously associated with hymnody reform. This study asserts that non-composers, particularly clergy and academics, played a crucial role in the “Ancient Music” movement, and offers a fuller picture of a little-examined but critical period in the history of American psalmody. Tracing the transatlantic voyages of figures like Buckminster and Pickering reveals that the actions and perspectives of active participants in the Atlantic world shaped “Ancient Music” reform and that hymnody reform was part of a broader project of cultural and intellectual uplift in New England.

Full textAbstract:
Among the writers of his generation, Alecsandri is the most comprehensive one, expressing not only the patriotic aspirations and desires, but also the discoveries from the universe of the private life and trying to make himself noticed in almost all the main literary genres and species. By different circumstances, Alecsandri gets to travel through Moldavia, Wallachia, Bucovina and Transylvania, to the European part of Turkey, to Italy, Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Great Britain, North of Africa, either for personal pleasure, to accompany Elena Negri, who was trying to find a more favourable climate for her fragile health, or for official business. All these travels and each of them separately are part of the development of his creation, leaving marks in his fiction and poetry and “it is printed on the screen of the human experience which defines his public and private personality”. In one of these travels, Alecsandri will discover the folk poetry, discovery which will profoundly mark his destiny as a writer and it will also have immeasurable consequences on the entire development of the Romanian literature from the last century, but also from the years to follow. As a result of the translations into French, German and English of the folk poems or of some of his original poems, Alecsandri becomes one of our first modern writers who became famous also abroad, being accessible to the foreign world.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT: From 1709 to 1711, Thomas Prince (1687–1758), recent Harvard graduate and future minister of Boston’s Old South Church, traveled between Boston, Barbados, and London. His travel journal (now in the collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society) excerpted passages from English poetry and popular song from the previous five decades. By transcribing the works of a politically and religiously diverse range of authors (Whig and Tory, Nonconformist and Anglican), Prince made the case for a tolerant, patriotic, and cosmopolitan Britishness. In late February and early March 1710, while Prince was in London, Anglican minister Henry Sacheverell was impeached by Parliament for preaching a sermon questioning Nonconformists’ loyalty. During his trial, anti-Dissenter rioting broke out in London and spread across England and Wales. As Prince transcribed poems for and against Sacheverell, he bemoaned the factional contention that was undermining British unity. In the middle of the nineteenth century, Chandler Robbins Gilman and Chandler Robbins, both great-grandnephews of Prince, incorporated brief excerpts from his travel journal in fictional tales and sketches. Gilman and Robbins used these fragments to symbolize the cultural continuity between England, New England, and the United States, overlooking the contingency and fragility of British identity in Prince’s account.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses literary travels in the historical period of the Tang Dynasty, which entered the history of the country as a period of flourishing culture - science, painting, literature, and especially poetry. Two great Chinese poets Li Bo and Du Fu created during this period. Literary and cultural-geographical approaches to the study of travelogues developed in Western, Chinese and Russian literary geography are presented. The historical and cultural contexts of literary travels are discussed. The cultural and historical specificity of the travelogues of the Tang Dynasty period is that many of them were made not out of interest in learning new lands and cultures, but out of necessity. For the most part, the authors of travelogues were applicants for the position of an official who had to submit a literary work at the state exam. Routes, vehicles, stopping places and other elements of travel are analyzed. The role of literary travel in the development of literature of the period under consideration is discussed. Special attention is paid to the anisotropy, or the disparity of different directions, of the cultural space of China of this historical epoch. This is due to the historically low cultural status of Southern China compared to other regions. Travelogue materials reflect this cultural phenomenon well.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I invite the reader to explore travel literature from a narratological as well as a factual viewpoint, and to take into consideration the specific nature of this genre and its limits. The most difficult part of the task at hand is to restore the internal coherence of the day-to-day notes that the chroniclers (Reiseschriftsteller) made, since at first sight, these may appear to be scrappy, disjointed, or mere descriptions or enumerations. In these notes, it is also necessary to analyse the mechanisms underpinning the intertextuality, as well as the quotes, the plagiarisms, and the phenomena related to semantic reinterpretation. From the many Reiseschriftsteller that concern the Habsburger Monarchie, I have initially chosen to study the category of travellers driven on by their taste for the exotic, such as Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer, Ida Pfeiffer, Thaddäus Haenke, Moritz Wagner, and Rudolf Carl Slatin. Their observations may be compared to those made by missionaries, scientists on their explorations, colonizers, and soldiers. Another category of travel literature that enjoyed considerable success is that of home travels. Their authors put pen to paper to express their patriotism, and to criticize political and religious bodies. Among them are Johann Pezzl, Josef Richter, Franz Sartori, Anastasius Grün, and Daniel Spitzer. Lastly, the Erzherzoge travel literature (Erzherzog Johann and, somewhat later, Ferdinand Maximilian, Franz Joseph, Ludwig Salvator, Rodolph, Franz Ferdinand, as well as the Empress Elisabeth, of course) remains a separate genre. Their writings bear witness not only to their curiosity as voyagers, but also to their military, diplomatic, and dynastic concerns.

I selected these poems from the manuscript of “Preowned Odysseys and Rented Rooms," my poetry collection-in-the-making. It records a pilgrimage where mortality and mobility characterize the wayfarer’s condition. He makes a journey that ultimately leads nowhere, and he travels second class in used conveyances to reach his destination. But, as he saunters along, the pilgrim himself changes, not his destination. He finds the end of the road in each step of the way and becomes the one he is.

Full textAbstract:
Critical light is shed on Emotional World Tour: diarios itinerantes (Miguel Gallardo and Paco Roca, 2009), a multilayered meta-text about the creation of and subsequent promotional tour for two award-winning comics from 2007, Arrugas and María y yo. Though numerous scholarly studies have attended to these narratives of disability (Alzheimer’s and autism), I argue that Gallardo and Roca were among the first to reflect on their own comics critically, an exercise carried out from within the realm of comics creation. In the context of recent theorizations of scholarly composing with comics and an intensification of self-reflexivity within the Affective Turn, I read Gallardo and Roca’s play on the early ‘voyages and travels’ genre as a means of harnessing its powers of scientific and intellectual enquiry to comment on image/ text representations of cognitive disability, and of theorizing from early on about the changing landscape of comics in twenty-first-century Spain.

The story of the people who sailed the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Hawai‘i, Samoa, and points beyond is well documented, yet historians have neglected the voyages themselves and what the travelers encountered on the five-day to five-week journeys to their destinations. Those who crossed the Pacific recorded their thoughts about the sea creatures they discovered, the birds that followed the ships, and the potential of American expansion to the islands. They gossiped about their shipmates, celebrated the change in time zones, and feared the sharks that swam near the vessels. The voyagers had little else to distract them from the many miles of endless water, so they paid attention to their surroundings: nature, people, and shipboard activities. The adventures on the ships enlivened their travels to the islands of the Pacific and proved to be an opportunity to expand their personal horizons, as well as their hopes for the United States.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This essay represents the first scholarly assessment of the complete works of the Elizabethan poet and translator Richard Linche (fl. 1596–1601). Linche was interested in classical mythology, sonnet writing, and prose translation. He was also concerned with the burning literary questions of the 1590s and early seventeenth century. This article analyzes Linche’s sonnet sequence Diella (1596) and his love poem The Love of Dom Diego and Gynevra (1596), highlighting Linche’s use of ancient mythology as an ideal vehicle for exploring personal passion in contemporary poetry. It then turns to Linche’s English translation of the Italian mythographer Vincenzo Cartari, The Fountaine of Ancient Fiction (1599) , to illustrate how Linche deals with mythology as an inspiration for literature. Linche identifies myth as an appealing source for contemporary writing while displaying discomfort with some of its sexual content. Finally, this article discusses Linche’s An Historical Treatise of the Travels of Noah into Europe (1601), placing the work in the larger picture of his literary career and suggesting that it was a euhemeristic response to his earlier explorations of myth. In contrast to Linche’s earlier works, The Travels offers a de-personalized and desexualized approach to myth. By providing the first detailed critical assessment of Richard Linche’s oeuvre, this essay reveals an Elizabethan writer who was interested in what inspires fiction, particularly in the complicated moral issues surrounding the sensuality of classical mythology and the role of eroticism in contemporary poetry.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: the article is devoted to the study of genre and aspect specifics of the travel lyric cycle as a major genre form in modern Russian poetry of Mordovia and it fits into the complex of research of Russian literary studies concerning the problem of genre synthesis. The subjects of the analysis are the features of plot building of the lyrical cycles of travels. Objective: to reveal the genre and problem-thematic originality of the lyrical cycles of travels in the works of modern poets of Mordovia. Research materials: cycles of travels of V. Gadaev, V. Yushkin, K. Smorodin. Results and novelty of the research: in modern Russian poetry of Mordovia large genre forms as the most flexible actively develop. Among them, a special place is occupied by lyrical cycles with diverse thematic lines. In this context, travel cycles that synthesize the features of genre forms of the cycle and travelogue are quite remarkable. The complex compositional structure marked by the presence of a real geographical route, the image of a traveler comprehending the cultural and historical atmosphere of the visited country / city, reflects the author’s worldview, historiosophy, and the idea of the world space. In the works of V. Gadaev, V. Yushkin and K. Smorodin such cyclic forms carry out various creative objectives. For V. Gadaev, trip brings the opportunity to rethink the tragic moments of history, to understand the state of a person who is far from his homeland. The plot-forming beginning of his works is the opposition «native – alien», where the image of the Mordovian region turns out to be the semantic artistic center. In V. Yushkin’s lyrical cycles, the traveler’s route is connected with the comprehension of semantic codes of geographical space, contact with important cultural and literary places. In the K. Smorodin’s center of attention is an image of a lyrical hero-traveler who is under the impression of the surrounding world’s beauty. The motif of travel in the works of Russian poets of Mordovia is largely enriched by landscape and philosophical, love motifs, which indicates the synthetic nature of this genre-specific form. The scientific novelty of the work is connected with the fact that it represents the first experience of the comprehensive study of the features of the lyric cycle of travels in Russia

Full textAbstract:
Ezenwa–Ohaeto is one of the modern Nigerian poets who, in their creative endeavours, have continued to tap the rich sources of orature in their culture, in what is now known as 'the minstrelsy tradition'. The maturity of his explorations of the minstrelsy tradition comes through in the last volume of poetry he published before his death, (2003). In a close reading of some selected poems from this volume, this contribution not only looks at the minstrelsy tradition so central to Ezenwa–Ohaeto's poetry, but, more broadly, explores the social vision of Ezenwa–Ohaeto as an African poet. Unlike his earlier volumes of poetry, takes a critical swipe at the inadequacies of advanced countries in Europe and America in what we may call the poet's transnational imagination. In his chants across the world (the volume is an outcome of his many travels), Ezenwa–Ohaeto examines the issues of racism, equity in international relationships and, as is characteristic of his oeuvre, the moral and ethical failures of leaders in Africa.
