As American literary and cultural scholars reconsider the foundations of U.S. relations with other nations, Ruins, Revolution, and Manifest Destiny: John Lloyd Stephens Creates the Maya locates in Stephens s immensely popular nineteenth-century travel narratives (1841, 1843) the sources of American perceptions of Central America and contributes directly to current redefinitions of American nationalism, Manifest Destiny, and hemispheric imperialism. The study challenges modern readers to examine critically the cultural stereotypes that the nineteenth century embraced and that often...

ISBN: 9781433105067 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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.

Issues in Travel Writing: Empire, Spectacle, and Displacement
ISBN: 9780820445809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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...

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...
