ISBN: 9781138689855 / Angielski / Twarda / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The publication of key voyaging manuscripts has contributed to the flourishing of enduring and prolific worldwide scholarship across numerous fields. These navigators and their texts were instrumental in spurring on further exploration, annexation and ultimately colonisation of the pacific territories in the space of only a few decades. This series will present new sources and primary texts in English, paving the way for postcolonial critical approaches in which the reporting, writing, rewriting and translating of Empire and the 'Other' takes precedence over the safeguarding of master...

British Travellers and the Encounter with Britain, 1450-1700
ISBN: 9781783270538 / Angielski / Twarda / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book recovers the encounter with a -multicultural- Britain by British travellers in the Tudor and Stuart periods. When William Camden, writing in the sixteenth century, set out to write the history of Britannia, he deliberately took to the roads to discover it first-hand, and those diverse cultures guided and informed his journeys. Here, John Cramsie offers original perspectives on Camden's multicultural Britain through the study of British travellers and their narratives. We meet characters such as the Tudor traveller John Leland, who intended to tell the peoples of England and Wales...

Travel Writing from Black Australia: Utopia, Melancholia, and Aboriginality
ISBN: 9780415729208 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past thirty years the Australian travel experience has been 'Aboriginalized'. Aboriginality has been appropriated to furnish the Australian nation with a unique and identifiable tourist brand. This is deeply ironic given the realities of life for many Aboriginal people in Australian society. On the one hand, Aboriginality in the form of artworks, literature, performances, landscapes, sport, and famous individuals is celebrated for the way it blends exoticism, mysticism, multiculturalism, nationalism, and reconciliation. On the other hand, in the media, cinema, and travel writing,... Over the past thirty years the Australian travel experience has been 'Aboriginalized'.

Georg Forsters literarische Weltreise
ISBN: 9783110238013 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In many aspects, James Cook's voyages of discovery in the South Pacific are part of the revolution of knowledge of the Age of Enlightenment.

Like no other traveler before him, Georg Forster provides extraordinary insight into Cook's second journey around the world through his literary travelogue Reise um die Welt Voyage around the World] (1777-1780). In his travelogue Forster addresses... In many aspects, James Cook's voyages of discovery in the South Pacific are part of the revolution of knowledge of the Age of Enlightenment. Howeve... |
