Abstract

Focusing on travel journals by writers, navigators, philosophers, scientists, and anthropologists--from the eighteenth-century grand tour to the modern period--Dennis Porter explores how male authors at different historical moments conceptualized and represented the lands they encountered. Efforts to portray unfamiliar peoples and cultures are shown to give rise to rich and complex works, in which individual psychic investments frequently subvert an inherited cultural discourse. In exploring the various uses and pleasures of travel, Porter interprets it as a transgressive activity animated by desire and haunted by different forms of guilt.Broad in its historical scope and interdisciplinary in its approach, the book draws on literary theory, psychoanalysis, gender criticism, and the social history of ideas. Texts analyzed include works by Boswell, Diderot, Bougainville, Cook, Stendhal, Darwin, Flaubert, Freud, D. H. Lawrence, T. E. Lawrence, Gide, Lvi-Strauss, Barthes, and V. S. Naipaul.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

La question - certains diraient le problème - de l'altérité est au centre de nombreux débats contemporains que les événements du 11 septembre 2001 à New York et ceux du 11 mars 2004 à Madrid n'ont fait que raviver. Au-delà des discussions et des prises de position qui touchent à des conceptions de société très différentes, telle celle du voile dit 'islamique', on constate que, de Francis Fukuyama et sa "Fin de l'histoire" (1992) à Samuel Huntington et son "Choc des civilisations" (1997), l'affrontement entre universalistes et relativistes, ou culturalistes, a prolongé un clivage que Tzvetan Todorov fait remonter au moins à la Renaissance, mais dont les germes sont présents bien antérieurement. Images, représentations, perceptions de l'Autre, mais également de Soi, sont naturellement au coeur de ces problématiques, poussant à se pencher sur les canaux de transmission de l'information, la modalité de la mise en place des stéréotypes, les facteurs de leur diffusion, les réactions de fascination, de rejet ou d'affirmation, voire de raidissement identitaire, qu'elles provoquent. D'autant que le contexte général de la mondialisation, et singulièrement le développement extraordinaire des voyages qui l'accompagne, plus particulièrement depuis le XVIème siècle, mais de manière encore plus intense entre le XIXème et le XXème siècles, multiplie les occasions, fugaces ou prolongées, de rencontrer l'Autre, l'Etranger, l'Exotique. Et ce même contexte développe parallèlement un engouement particulier, crée la demande, puis ouvre un marché, pour des vecteurs spécifiques des images et représentations de l'Autre: les récits de voyage, sous toutes les formes - inédites ou publiées - d'une part, les guides de voyage d'autre part.
