Abstract

Research on pilgrimage has traditionally fallen across a series of academic disciplines - anthropology, archaeology, art history, geography, history and theology. To date, relatively little work has been devoted to the issue of pilgrimage as writing and specifically as a form of travel-writing. The aim of the interdisciplinary essays gathered here is to examine the relations of Christian pilgrimage to the numerous narratives, which it generates and upon which it depends. Authors reveal not only the tensions between oral and written accounts but also the frequent ambiguities of journeys - the possibilities of shifts between secular and sacred forms and accounts of travel. Above all, the papers reveal the self-generating and multiple-authored characteristics of pilgrimage narrative: stories of past pilgrimage experience generate future stories and even future journeys.

Abstract

This elegant history considers a fascinating array of texts, cultural practices, and intellectual processes-including maps and mapmaking, poetry, travel writing, popular fiction, and encyclopedias-to chart the emergence of a new geographical consciousness in early modern Japan. Marcia Yonemoto's wide-ranging history of ideas traces changing conceptions and representations of space by looking at the roles played by writers, artists, commercial publishers, and the Shogunal government in helping to fashion a new awareness of space and place in this period. Her impressively researched study shows how spatial and geographical knowledge confined to elites in early Japan became more generalized, flexible, and widespread in the Tokugawa period. In the broadest sense, her book grasps the elusive processes through which people came to name, to know, and to interpret their worlds in narrative and visual forms.

Abstract

Vaste panorama du récit de voyage en France à l'époque du romantisme, cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans une perspective non seulement littéraire mais aussi sociale et historique. Car il s'agit de déterminer les paramètres sociaux qui inspirent le récit de voyage comme tel et l'inscrivent dans une historicité particulière qui est celle du romantisme français. Existe-t-il une spécificité du voyage littéraire en France, liée à la situation sociale du pays ? L'ouvrage aborde également la question du voyage en fonction des critères idéologiques de l'époque. Il montre comment les thèmes majeurs du romantisme s'y trouvent mêlés : le moi, l'exotisme, le pittoresque, les traditions européennes.
