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. 410 0$aStudies on Modern Orient. 517 $aOn the Way to the 606 $aTravel writing 615 0$aTravel writing. 676 $a808.06691 702 $aGruber$b Doris 702 $aStrohmeyer$b Arno 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910629593203321 996 $aOn the Way to the "(Un)Known"$92910063 997 $aUNINA
