The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the hajj, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of "otherness", the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis.Studies on Modern Orient.On the Way to the Travel writingTravel writing.808.06691Gruber DorisStrohmeyer ArnoNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910629593203321On the Way to the "(Un)Known"2910063UNINA
