- Inhalt
- Quests, pilgrimages, expeditions, sentimental journeys, picaresque and picturesque travels, eco-tourism and travel influencers. Over the past five centuries travelling to and from the British Isles has seen many shapes and fulfilled a range of purposes. This seminar on travel writing sets out to explore some of the facets of this genre that has been variously termed “notoriously refractory to definition” (Holland/Huggan) but also “the most socially important of all literary genres” (Youngs).
How does travelling re-shape our identities? And how does it alter our view of others, of authenticity and the exotic? What are the implications of gender, sexual and ethnic identity for the (fictional) travel experience? Participants will be introduced to the evolving field of tourism studies as well as its intersections with literary studies, to theories of identity, place and space as well as Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism (1978). The texts read in class will range from The Travels of Sir John Mandeville (1350s), Captain James Cook’s Journals, Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey (1768), The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789), Mary Wollstonecraft’s letters from Scandinavia (1796) and Mary Kingsley’s accounts of West Africa to Louise Doughty’s The Stone Cradle (2006) and Bernardine Evaristo’s Soul Tourists (2005).
