The travel narrative written by women is offered as a rich corpus because it allows us to observe the processes of legitimation that underlie Argentina’s literary modernity without obliterating the “sarmientino” civilization/barbarism conflict. In this presentation is analysed a pioneering text, Recuerdos de viaje (1882) by Eduarda Mansilla, in dialogue with other works in order to demonstrate the way in which these writings exceed the standard of their time by plotting a system of fugue/s (fugue from domestic space, escape from the sex-gender system and fugue from oneself in the order of the imaginary).

Partly drawing on postcolonial rhetorics and partly drawing insights from critical stylistics and critical discourse analysis, this paper basically explores how Antigua-born-American writer Jamaica Kincaid rhetorically constructs Nepal in a disguised form of a travel writer through her travel narrative Among Flowers: A Walk in the Himalaya. Even though Kincaid is best known as an anti-imperialist, the way she longs for the Garden of Eden and represents Nepali landscape, people, and culture posits that her travel to Nepal is threaded with the rhetoric of Othering, metropolitan culture, and imperial politics. In particular, she looks at the travelled places and people with an imperial eye: nomination, surveillance, negation, debasement, and binary rhetoric.

This chapter looks to Star Trek, a reboot that employed a time travel narrative to simultaneously cast the Star Trek universe as a new continuity and strategically recast iconic characters in a parallel timeline. The chapter asserts that the reinvention of Star Trek property as a twenty-first-century blockbuster required an investment not only in its narrative strategies, but also in a discursively reimagined audience, one that included both pre-existing and future fans. It demonstrates the way in which Star Trek highlights the intersecting logics of the film reboot and the mainstreaming of fandom in popular culture, both of which grow out of serial strategies designed to exploit new and established markets.

In Old Danish (c800-c1525), masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns were used to denote humans, animals, things, and abstract categories. In Early Modern Danish (c1525-c1700), however, the masculine and the feminine merged into a common gender, confining the anaphoric and cataphoric personal pronouns han ‘he’ and hun ‘she’ to nouns denoting humans. This paper points out an early pragmatically based use of gender in the Scanian text Sjælens Trøst ‘Comfort of the Soul’ in manuscripts C 529 and A 109 from c1425. From a Christian point of view, the noun afgudh ‘idol’ is used as a neuter and thereby objectified, unlike the masculine noun gudh ‘God’. This use of the neuter is in all likelihood one of the first steps on the way from a primarily morphologically based three-gender system to a primarily semantically based two-gender system which distinguishes between human and non-human nouns.

This article explores the ways in which nineteenth-century Argentine author, Eduarda Mansilla de García, engaged with the issues of women and modernity in her 1882 travelogue, Recuerdos de viaje. It argues that the practice of travel writing served a dual purpose for Mansilla. Publishing a travelogue about the United States enabled Mansilla to trouble Argentine period gender restrictions while at the same critically evaluate North American females. Drawing from theorizations regarding travel writing as a place of power negotiations, I unveil how Mansilla employed her travelogue as a means of validating the cultural capital of Latin American geocultural space in comparison with that of the United States. Consequently, this nineteenth-century Latin American travel narrative did more than the task of light entertainment; it engaged with significant, ongoing period transnational debates regarding modernity, gender, and nation.

Elias Canetti’s (2009) the Voices of Marrakesh depicts a set of cultural features about Marrakesh city, Morocco. In such travel writing text, different are the issues of representation about the country which are discursively figured in negative perspectives. Relatedly, the gaze of the Westerner theoretically and practically helps target the extent to which the Moroccan landscape and identity are constructed. At this point, debates about the nature of concepts like the ‘civilized’, the ‘primitive’, and the ‘savage’ are very common and form the intellectual background for the travel writer. The dichotomy between center and periphery is highly examined in the present article since there are images or processes of decentralizing Morocco. Following post-colonial analytical approach, the current article problematizes the way the West represents Morocco and its cultural geography. Importantly, the article focuses on Moroccan geography which is given little if not no importance pretending that it is a deserted space where the uncivilized natives dwell. It serves nothing but fear and mystery. This paper serves as a basis for the readership to understand the way Morocco is portrayed by Canetti. By representing Morocco in different images, Canetti ideologically generates a socio-cultural discourse about Arabs and about Morocco in particular. By doing so, he confirms the fact that there is no innocent text including travel narrative.

Cuando Roland Barthes, en Fragments d’un discourse amoureux, analiza la figura de la espera sugiere que esta es un tumulto de angustia, con una escenografía organizada y manipulada, una solemnidad y un sentido de las proporciones que se configura en actos. El desenlace de esta trama deviene abandono o agradecimiento. En la literatura argentina del siglo XIX, esta figura del discurso de los afectos puede leerse en la encrucijada de la intimidad y la trama social. El artículo refiere dos obras de los hermanos Mansilla: El médico de San Luis (1860) de Eduarda Mansilla y Una excursión a los indios ranqueles de Lucio V. Mansilla, publicada diez años después. Las dos obras tematizan la pasión/sujeción de la espera, que es analizada en ambas, a partir de la idea de una narración pública que rodea y se filtra sobre las formas y prácticas de la vida cotidiana y de las historias de familia.

Abstract: This article focuses on a little-known metamorphosis of Nicolas Bouvier's travel narrative The Way of the World: a cinematic script written jointly with the Swiss filmmaker Peter Ammann in 1972 and entitled "Ouest-Est - voyage en Orient"; this text remained in typewritten form, the film never having been completed. The study first compares the stages of Bouvier's (and his friend Thierry Vernet's) journey with those of the couple of actors in the script, then looks at how the script rewrites The Way of the World before finally developing the thematic contributions of the film script with the book.

Produced between June and October 1953, correspondence between Thierry Vernet and those close to him is an obvious counterpoint to Nicolas Bouvier’s The Way of the World. While providing a backdrop to Bouvier’s travel narrative, this large correspondence sheds light on the journey of the two friends and offers another perspective. This analysis tackles the complex editorial status of this textual material, straddling both the epistolary genre and travel narrative, and highlights the significant divergences between the texts of Vernier and Bouvier, much like the strangeness of their friendship.

This chapter argues that Gothic is the mode of writing that has most effectively articulated and symbolised the terrors of the domestic space. For women, possession, confinement and loss of identity are all shadows which haunt the home, particularly those who inhabit – or fear inhabiting - the roles of housewife and mother. In ‘The Uncanny’ (1919), Freud explored the ambivalent relationship between the heimlich and the unheimlich, the way in which the ‘homely’ doubles as the ‘unhomely’. In Gothic texts, the homely is often associated with the hellish and with the sense of a split female self. This chapter examines a range of works by Norah Lofts, Christina Stead, Sylvia Plath, Shirley Jackson, Penelope Mortimer, Barbara Comyns and Emma Donoghue in order to explore how they use Gothic tropes and devices to convey women’s ambivalence towards the realm of the domestic and their role within it.
