The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the \u003cem\u003ehajj\u003c\/em\u003e, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of otherness, the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoris Gruber\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Austrian Academy of Sciences, and \u003cstrong\u003eArno Strohmeyer\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e University of Salzburg, Austri\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 427\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51785766011168,"sku":"9783110697605","price":196.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6ec1e2f961728c914e68a21d4508aef8.webp?v=1780620306","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/on-the-way-to-the-unknown-the-ottoman-empire-in-travelogues-c-1450-1900-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
