Provincializing the Worldly Citizen: Yugoslav Student and Teacher Travel and Slavic Cosmopolitanism in the Interwar Era
ISBN: 9780820495248 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Provincializing the Worldly Citizen examines travel to Czechoslovakia by Yugoslav educators and students in the 1920s and 1930s in the context of educational modernization and national identity formation. It argues that -Slavic Cosmopolitanism- was an important element in educating the Yugoslav child and in the development of schooling practices in Yugoslavia. The book examines how notions of -Slavicness- circulated and were related to visions of the ideal Yugoslav, linking together these two concerns not merely to cross-fertilize Slavic studies, the history of education, and the field...

Issues in Travel Writing: Empire, Spectacle, and Displacement
ISBN: 9780820445809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The increased attention now devoted to studying travel writing and theory follows on the heels of a growing critical interest in autobiography (a genre closely aligned to travel writing); commentary on multiculturalism, nationalism, colonialism, and post-colonialism; and in spectacle and visual culture. The essays collected here address these diverse impulses and focus provocatively on issues of colonialism/post-colonialism, empire, identity, culture, spectacle, pilgrimage, map theory, narrative theory, diaspora, and displacement, and discuss writers as diverse as Ernest Hemingway, Theodore...

New Approaches to Twentieth-Century Travel Literature in French: Genre, History, Theory
ISBN: 9780820471334 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) From the postcolonial perspective of the early twenty-first century, the importance of travel literature, for considerations of national and international cultures and identities, has become increasingly apparent. Travel literature in French has, however, received little critical scrutiny. This book contributes to contemporary reassessments of the form in a number of disciplines, focusing specifically on the discourses and contexts of travel in twentieth-century texts written in French. Its scope is interdisciplinary, involving theoretical and generic considerations as well as a historical...

In-Between Two Worlds: Narratives by Female Explorers and Travellers, 1850-1945
ISBN: 9781433105975 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Fourteen essays provide a challenging outlook on narratives by women explorers and travellers from five different continents, spanning nearly one century from 1850 to 1945. The map thus drawn enables one to revisit, restore, and reassess the content and the originality of these narratives by women. The essays are relevant to the fields of travel writing and gender studies, and all draw from referential contemporary theoretical and critical works (Michel Foucault, Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, Roland Barthes, Michel de Certeau, Gilles Deleuze, Sara Mills, Kristi Siegel, and Jane Robinson). The...

Weary Sons of Conrad: White Fiction Against the Grain of Africa's Dark Heart
ISBN: 9780820456829 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Weary Sons of Conrad poses the question, how is Africa represented in some late twentieth-century European and North American fiction written by white men? Its contribution is to unearth a rich treasure of such fiction that opposes imperialism and struggles with patriarchy and gender stereotypes. These writers go to battle against the stranglehold of myths about Africa, its lands, and its people, which are deeply embedded in the language itself. The writers struggle for new tongues and original ways of telling their stories but cannot be totally free of history, family, language, and...

Women experience and portray travel differently: Gender matters irreducibly and complexly. Building on recent scholarship in women s travel writing, these provocative essays not only affirm the impact of gender, but also cast women s journeys against coordinates such as race, class, culture, religion, economics, politics, and history. The book s scope is unique: Women travelers extend in time from Victorian memsahibs to contemporary -road girls-, and topics range from Anna Leonowens s slanted portrayal of Siam later popularized in the movie, The King and I, to current feminist...
