"Travels in the Steppes of the Caspian Sea..." is the travel memoire of the French geographer, engineer and traveler Xavier Hommaire de Hell. He sums up his trip thus, "When I left Constantinople for Odessa my principal object was to investigate the geology of the Crimea and of New Russia, and to arrive by positive observations at the solution of the great question of the rupture of the Bosphorus. Having once entered on this pursuit, I was soon led beyond the limits of the plan I had marked out for myself, and found it incumbent on me to examine all the vast regions that extend between the Danube and the Caspian Sea to the foot of the northern slope of the Caucasus. I spent, therefore, nearly five years in Southern Russia, traversing the country in all directions...visiting all the Russian coasts of the Black Sea, the Sea of Azof and the Caspian."

Aux frontières: Roma als Grenzgängerfiguren der Moderne

Schon lange vor dem Zeitalter der Nationalismen im 19. Jahrhundert, trotz der Verfolgungen, Unterdrückungen und des Holocaust (Porajmos) im 20. Jahrhundert, repräsentieren Roma von Grenzüberschreitungen geprägte Kulturen, die immer wieder auch in der Literatur, in der bildenden Kunst und im Film dargestellt wurden. Besonders im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert kommen Eigenrepräsentationen selbst vermehrt zur textuellen und medialen Darstellung. Der Band setzt sich zum Ziel, den vielfältigen Facetten der Darstellung der Roma ("Tsiganes", "Bohémiens", "Sinté", "Manouches", "Yéniches", "Gitans' etc.) nachzugehen, deren Lebensweise sich geschichtlich durch grenzüberschreitende Bewegung und Gren...

Les écrits des voyageuses françaises et francophones du 19e siècle sont la matière d'un ouvrage qui offre le premier panorama géographique et bibliographique des récits de voyages de femmes du siècle dernier. A partir de cette riche tradition, Itinéraires de l'écriture au féminin élabore une réflexion théorique soulignant la complexité de textes qui posent de manière inévitable la question de la nature et du statut des écrits de femmes. Les récits de neuf voyageuses aux parcours divers permettent de comprendre plus précisément les caractères rhétoriques et substantiels de ces distinctions. Les questions que se posent les voyageuses sont à lire en relation au paradigme ...

Frauen und Orientalismus

In der französischen Literaturgeschichte tauchen - im Vergleich zu reisenden Männern - verblüffend wenig reisende Frauen auf. Dabei handelt es sich doch keineswegs um Einzelerscheinungen.
