The era in which Ibn Baṭṭūṭa traveled to the East was exciting but turbulent, cursed by the Black Plague and the fall of mighty dynasties. His chronicle provides a first-hand account of increased globalization due to the rise of Islam, as well as the relationship between the Western world and India and China in the 14th century. Readers are given insight into the complex power dynamics of the time as well as a personal glimpse of the author’s life as he sought to survive them, always staying on the move. The Riḥla is of great value as a historical document and for its religious commentary, especially regarding the marvels and miracles that Ibn Baṭṭūṭa encountered. It is also an entertaining narrative with a wealth of anecdotes, often humorous or shocking, and in many cases touchingly human. The book records the journey of Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, a Moroccan jurist who travels to the East, operating at high levels of government within the vibrant Muslim network of India and China in the 14th century. It offers fascinating details about the cultures and dynamics of that region, and a dazzling narrative that goes well beyond the standard travelogue. Tragedies and wonders fill its pages, shared for the greater glory of Allah and the edification of readers both past and present.

Nagmeh Sohrabi writes this piece on Qajar era Iranian travelogues at a time of intense scrutiny into geopolitical aspirations of the revolutionary Islamic Iran. She has tried to bring out the unexpected and inconceivable motives behind these travelogues: the promotion of Iran as a land distinct to the West with its own grandiose characteristics and Qajar propaganda at home. Sohrabi investigates four travelogues and the extensive practice of travel writing during the Qajar era to point to this project, which probably was undertaken and promoted by the Qajar imperial court. Two of these travelogues were written by members of the Qajar court who were sent on separate diplomatic missions to Europe: Mirza Abul Hasan Khan Ilchi and Mirza Fattah Khan Garmrudi. One was written by the Qajar monarch Nasir al – Din Shah himself throughout his multiple travels within his empire and to Europe. The last of these was written by Hajj Mirza Muhammad ‘Ali Na’ini (Haaji Pirzadah). Pirzadah as Sohrabi points out, spends much time in composing a prose to compare Persia and the West. She categorizes Pirzadah’s travelogue to that of a trend in existence during the Nasiri period, emanating from Nasir al – Din Shah’s travels and travelogues. Ibrahim Sahhafbashi and Hajj Sayyah Mahallati, as Sohrabi puts, were the other two most well-known bearers of this trend.

نیم دانگِ پیونگ یانگ» روایت دو سفر امیرخانی به رازآلوده‌ترین کشور دنیاست. جایی که نه تنها اینترنت و ماشین« شخصی، که اصولا فردیت بی‌معنی است؛ حزب کارگران جمهوری دموکراتیک خلق کره بر همه چیز مسلط است، و مردم باید رسما رهبر خود، و پدر و پدربزرگش را، پرستش کنند. هیچ‌کدامِ این‌ها اما برای کسی که با کره شمالی کمی آشنایی داشته باشد تازگی ندارد. هزاران مقاله و کتاب و مستند در این باره نوشت شده است. پس منتظریم ببینیم دستاورد آقا رضا از این سفر چیست؟ در «جانستان کابلستان» امیرخوانی به دنبال انسان افغانستانی بود؛ در «نیم‎دانگِ پیونگ‎یانگ» آیا موفق می‌شود انسان کره شمالی را از پس غبار بازنمایی‌اش در رسانه‌های غربی به عنوان مفلوک‌ترین، و از زبان حزب به عنوان خوشبخت‌ترین، انسان جهان بشناسد؟

"The Latest Edition of Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname: The Account of New Insights" workshop is focused on the next-to-autograph edition of the Seyahatname (TSMK Bağdat/Revan köşk), "The Book of Travels" of "the world traveler and boon companion to mankind," Evliya Çelebi. Since the latest ten-volumes edition has appeared, we have noticed important, sometimes huge differences after comparing the parts referring to Western Balkans with what was previously available. Thus the main goal of our joint effort should be to further elucidate this kind of discrepancies, focused either on particular areas of the Ottoman empire, or on more general features of Evliya's narrative.

В данной статье анализируется особенность изучения травелога как современного литературного жанра. В последнее время с развитием исследований путевых заметок многие ученые все чаще стали задавать себе вопрос по поводу категории жанра, к которой нужно их относить. Чтобы лучше разъяснить сущность данного литературного явления, мы попытались сначала составить краткую историю жанра. Затем на основании научных работ некоторых современных литературоведов мы рассматриваем проблему определения термина «травелог» (от английского слово «travelogue») в русском и французском языках и процесс развития жанра. В данной статье также изучаются возможные связи между травелогом и романом, травелогом и историей.

Late Victorian Orientalism is a work of scholarly research pushing forward disciplines into new areas of enquiry. This collection of essays tries to redefine the task of interpreting the East in the nineteenth century taking as a starting point Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978) in order to investigate the visual, fantasised, and imperialist representations of the East as well as the most exemplary translations of Oriental texts. Contributors: Eleonora Sasso (Introduction), Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Florence S. Boos, Eleonora Sasso, Andrea Mariani, Elisa Bizzotto, Miriam Sette, Christopher Cowell, Ben Cocking, Fabrizio Impellizzeri.

The aim of this paper is to describe and analyse the royal harem and its functions during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848–96), on the basis of two independent Persian-language sources written by noble Iranian women at the turn of nineteenth and twentieth centuries: Naser al-Din's daughter, Taj al-Saltana (1884–1936), who in her famous memoirs vividly rendered her early years spent on her imperial father's court, and ‘Lady from Kerman’ (whose identity remains, for the moment, unclear), who authored a latterly published travelogue of pilgrimage to Mecca and the holy Shi'a places in contemporary Iraq held by her in the early 1890s. The second part of the latter account is entirely dedicated to the sojourn in Tehran, where, upon coming back from the sacred journey, the woman was a frequent guest at the royal harem. Both accounts are unique as they are the only known first-hand sources penned by the female insiders of the harem in nineteenth-century Iran. Furthermore, both authors, who actually met each other, describe the same figures and events – which provide an opportunity to compare their relations and augment our knowledge about Iran in the late Naseri period.

Pir Sabzali (Sabz 'Ali) Ramzanali (d. 1938) grew up in Mumbai. His widowed
mother, worried about her teenage son's waywardness, sent him to Gwadar, on the
coast of Balochistan, to apprentice with the learned Varas Muhammad Remu. Under
the latter's tutelage, his character began to change and he soon became known
as one of the most dynamic volunteers and gifted orators in the Ismaili community.
In 1923, the Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III sent Pir Sabzali on a difficult
mission to Central Asia to contact the isolated Ismaili communities in that
mountainous region. Sabzali kept a diary in Gujarati of this harrowing journey,
first serialized in The Ismaili from 1924 to 1926. Below are Episodes 10 and 23 from
his fascinating travelogue in which he describes his travels through Chitral, now in
Pakistan. In Episode 10, written in a literary style, Pir Sabzali relates his thoughts
about the mission ahead and his complete trust in and reliance on the imam. In
Episode 23, Sabzali encounters large numbers of Mawlais, Central Asian Ismailis,
in the mountains of Badakhshan. He marvels at their dedication in the harshest of
circumstances, revels in their all-night spiritual assembly and fervent recitation of
the poetry of Nasir-i Khusraw, comments on their eagerness to hear the farmans,
i.e. the commands, blessings and instructions of their imam, and expresses his
admiration at the devotion of even their youngest children.

Los estudios fílmicos de los últimos treinta años han puesto en evidencia la creciente imposibilidad de abordar al “cine de los primeros tiempos” separadamente de la más amplia y representativa cultura visual de su época. Hoy es indudable que, para comprender la naturaleza y complejidad de este medio, es necesario examinarlo en el contexto de las múltiples series culturales de las que emergió y con las que compartió características de variada naturaleza, aún desde mucho antes de que las condiciones tecnológicas que lo hicieron posible estuvieran dadas. La fotografía, la técnica con la que el cine está ontológicamente más vinculada, fue la base de algunos de los espectáculos visuales que mayor influencia tuvieron en el surgimiento del nuevo arte y es, sin embargo, una de las más relegadas por los estudios críticos e históricos. Este libro propone un abordaje de las múltiples relaciones que ligaron a la fotografía y al cine en la Argentina desde 1840, año de llegada del daguerrotipo al Río de la Plata, hasta 1933, fecha de estreno del primer film sonoro y momento de inicio del periodo de expansión industrial de la cinematografía nacional. La hipótesis de la que parte la autora es que gran parte de la aceptación y comprensión con la que el cine contó en sus inicios se debió a que muchas de las competencias de lectura, el manejo de convenciones, los códigos de representación, las modas temáticas y estéticas venían siendo internalizadas por los espectadores a lo largo de cincuenta años de historia de la fotografía. Convertidos en medios de información, educación y recreación, en depósitos de la memoria y el conocimiento, y en mecanismos de construcción social de la realidad, tanto la fotografía como el cine favorecieron la emergencia de un nuevo espectador que estableció una estrecha relación entre la experiencia directa de lo real y su representación, y llegó al punto de percibir las imágenes producidas por estos medios visuales como experiencias sustitutivas de conocimiento del mundo material. Esto contribuyó a la difusión de determinadas formas de entendimiento de la realidad social, que en el caso específico de la Argentina, impactaron en cuestiones fundamentales para el contexto sociocultural del período, como la conformación de la identidad nacional, las tensiones entre modernidad y tradición o las diversas representaciones de la alteridad, entre otras. Partiendo del estudio de un amplio corpus de imágenes representativas de la producción fotográfica y cinematográfica local, esta investigación intenta hacer visibles esos diversos y complejos vínculos formales, temáticos e ideológicos que unieron a la fotografía y al cine en sus primeros años de existencia.

Cet article fait l'analyse de la représentation de l'Afrique du Nord dans les relations de voyage et l'oeuvre romanesque d'André Gide. Nous savons qu'à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et au début du vingtième, l'écrivain français a effectué plusieurs séjours dans les pays du Maghreb. Ici, Gide ne découvre pas seulement le plaisir de l'exotisme et les avantages de l'altérité dont il fera l'éloge pendant encore longtemps, il y fait également des rencontres intéressantes comme celle avec Oscar Wilde à Alger en 1895. Toutefois sa plus grande rencontre, Gide la fera avec lui-même, lorsqu'il se découvre spontanément homosexuel à Sousse lors de son tout premier voyage en 1893. De ses visites en Tunisie, en Algérie et en Egypte, Gide a laissé d'impréssionnants témoignages autobiographiques (« Amyntas » (1906) et « Si le grain ne meurt » (1926)) qui trouvent leur reflet dans son oeuvre romanesque comme « L'immoraliste » (1902).

Review of two memory prose novels in German language

1839 yılında yirmi iki yaşında olan Matija Mažuranić (Matiya Majuraniç, 1817-1881), Hırvatistan’ın Adriyatik Denizi sahilinde bulunan Novi Vinodolski adındaki bir kasabadan, o dönemlerde bir Osmanlı eyaleti olan Bosna’ya geçti ve orada iki aydan biraz daha kısa bir süre kaldı. Hırvatistan’a geri döndüğünde, ağabeylerine Bosna’da neler görüp yaşadığını anlattı, ayrıca yolculuğu boyunca tutmuş olduğu notları okusunlar diye onlara verdi. Ağabeyleri, Mažuranić’in verdiği o notları okuduktan sonra içinden bazı bölümleri çıkartarak metni kitap halinde yayımlamaya karar verdiler. Kitap, 1842 yılında Bosna’ya Bir Bakış yahut Bir Hırvat Vatandaşının 1839-40 Yılları Arasında O Eyalete Kısa Bir Yolculuğu adı altında, yazarın ismi verilmeden yayımlandı. Bu eser, Hırvat edebiyatının ilk gerçek edebî seyahatnamesi oldu. Seyahatnamenin büyük bir bölümünde yazarın Bosna seyahati sırasında yaşadıkları anlatılmakta, ayrıca Sırbistan’da bulunmasından da kısaca bahsedilmektedir. Pek çok özelliği ile romantik edebiyatın gerçek temsilcisi olan bu eserin inkâr edilemeyecek nitelikteki edebî değeri ile ilgili olarak, kitap yayımlandığından bu yana övgüyle bahsedilmektedir. Ancak edebî bir eser olarak okunmasının yanı sıra, o dönem Bosnası’ndaki durumu anlamak adına da kayda değer hatta oldukça önemli bir kaynak ve daha da önemlisi, tarihsel bir belge olarak da sıkça okunmuş olup hâlâ da okunmaktadır. Bazı araştırmacılara göre bu eser, o dönemi o kadar gerçekçi bir şekilde yansıtıyordu ki sanki eserin kendisi Osmanlı dönemi Bosnası’nın aynadaki yansımasından farksızdı.
Ayla Hafız Küçükusta’nın Hırvatçadan çevirmiş olduğu kitabın Türkçe yayınını hazırlarken, Osmanlı Bosnası’nın kültür tarihiyle ilgilenen araştırmacılar olarak, Mažuranić’in seyahatnamesindeki bazı bölümlere özellikle dikkat çekme gereği duyduk. Hiçbir seyahatname bir ülkedeki durumu güvenilir bir şekilde yansıtmaz çünkü bu metinlerin oluşturulmasında farklı tarihi, toplumsal, ideolojik, psikolojik ve diğer unsurlar etkili olabilmektedir. İşte bu gerçekten hareketle, Mažuranić’in Bosna’ya dair neden böyle bir izlenime kapıldığına, özellikle de bu tür görüşleri neden ortaya attığına açıklık getirmek amacıyla onun bu eserini eleştirel bir incelemeyle değerlendirdik.

The Islamization of Syria, a multi-faceted social and cultural process not limited to demography, was slow and highly variable across different locales. This article analyzes geographical works—ten in Arabic, one in Persian, and one in Hebrew—as well as the earliest Ottoman defters of the province to outline the process of Islamization in Syria from the Islamic conquest in the seventh century to the Ottoman conquest in the sixteenth. Geographical texts cannot be mined as databases, but when interpreted as literature they provide often detailed information regarding the foundation of mosques, the slow conversion of multi-religious shrines, and areas within Syria known for particular religious affiliations.

Dos suizos, dos libros, una única obsesión: la explotación del “oro negro” de la selva amazónica, en la época del auge cauchero en el Oriente de Bolivia. Con apenas unos meses de diferencia, Franz Ritz y Ernst Leutenegger trabajaron en la misma barraca gomera durante la primera década del siglo XX, y ambos publicaron luego sus recuerdos en su país natal. Son estos relatos que, traducidos por primera vez al español, nos propone descubrir aquí Lorena Córdoba. La mirada más entusiasta de Ritz y la visión más melancólica de Leutenegger evocan ambas tópicos de la fiebre cauchera en la selva boliviana: la dura vida en las barracas; la ley del más fuerte en un mundo donde el Estado está ausente; los enganches tramposos, las deudas hereditarias, la explotación de los indígenas. Sin embargo, estos relatos permiten ir más allá de los clichés y matizar en gran parte las visiones en blanco y negro sobre esta época crucial para la economía boliviana, la paulatina incorporación del Oriente al país y el destino también de los pueblos indígenas amazónicos. Con su lectura, la Historia gana en humanidad, en matices enriquecedores, en profundidad y credibilidad.

Hacı Baba romanlarıyla ünlenen İngiliz yazar James Justinian Morier
1809’da İran’daki ilk diplomatik görevini tamamlayıp 7 Mayıs 1809 tarihinde Tahran’dan ayrılmıştır. İngiltere yolculuğunda sırasıyla Erzurum (15 Haziran), İstanbul (18 Temmuz) ve İzmir (7 Eylül) gibi şehirlerde duraklamış; buradan H.M.S. Success gemisiyle Malta’ya geçmiştir. H.M.S Formidable gemisine binip Kasım 1809’da Plymouth’a dönmüştür. Yazarın bu seyahatine ait gözlem ve deneyimlerini içeren A Journey Through Persia, Armenia and Asia Minor to Constantinople, In The Years 1808 and 1809 başlığını taşıyan eseri 1812’de yayımlanmıştır. Bu, aynı zamanda hayatı boyunca çok sayıda eserin sahibi olan diplomatın ilk yazarlık deneyimi olmuştur.
Bu çalışmanın giriş kısmında, James Justinian Morier’in hayatı, seyahatnameleri ve İran yolculuğunun arka planı ele alınmıştır. Böylece, İran ve Türkiye üzerine önemli eserleri olan Morier hakkında ilk Türkçe biyografi çalışması ortaya konmuştur. Çalışmanın sonraki bölümlerinde yazarın seyahatleri ve İran’dan ayrılışı değerlendirilmiştir. Ardından yazarın Erzurum-Amasya gezi notları eksiksiz olarak aktarılmış; son olarak yazarın Amasya’dan İstanbul’a gerçekleştirdiği yolculuk özetlenmiştir. Çalışma için yazar hakkında İngiliz literatüründe bulunan birçok çalışmadan yararlanılmıştır. Böylece Türkiye tarihinin aydınlatılmasında yabancı, bilhassa Batılı, seyyahların tanıtımına yeni bir katkı sunulması düşünülmüştür./Abstract-The British novelist James Justinian Morier, famous for his novels of Hajji Baba, left Teheran on May 7, 1809 after completing his first diplomatic mission in Iran in 1809. During his return to England, he arrived in Erzurum on June 15, Istanbul on July 18 and Izmir on September 7. From here, he passed on to Malta on the ship of H.M.S Success. He boarded on the ship of H.M.S Formidable and returned to Plymouth in November 1809. His book which is titled A Journey Through Persia, Armenia and Asia Minor to Constantinople, in the years 1808 and 1809, containing the author’s observations and experiences of this travel, was published in 1812. This was also the first experience of the diplomat as an author, who owned many works during his lifetime.
In the introduction of this study, the life of James Justinian Morier, his travelogues and the background of his journey to Iran are considered. Thus, the first Turkish biography of Morier who had important works about Iran and Turkey was written. In the next parts of the study, the author’s journey in general and his departure from Iran are briefly was evaluated respectively. Then, the author’s travel notes between Erzurum and Istanbul were given in full. Finally, the journey of the author between Amasya and Istanbul has summarized. For the study, many studies about the author in the English literature were used. Thus, in illuminating the history of Turkey, it is intended to be a new contribution
to the promotion of foreign travelers in particular western.

This paper draws two lines of analysis. On the one hand it discusses the history of the This paper draws two lines of analysis. On the one hand it discusses the history of the travelogue genre while drawing a parallel with a Bazanian teleology of cinematic realism. On the other, it incorporates phenomenological approaches with neuroscience's discovery of mirror neurons and an embodied simulation mechanism in order to reflect upon the techniques and cinematic styles of the travelogue genre. In this article I discuss the travelogue film genre through a phenomenological approach to film studies. First I trace the history of the travelogue film by distinguishing three main categories, each one ascribed to a particular form of realism. The hyper-realistic travelogue, which is related to a perceptual form of realism; the first person travelogue, associated with realism as authenticity; and the travelogue as a traditional documentary which is related to a factual form of realism. I then discuss how these categories relate to Andre Bazin's ideas on realism through notions such as montage, duration, the long take and his "myth of total cinema". I discuss the concept of perceptual realism as a key style in the travelogue genre evident in the use of extra-filmic technologies which have attempted to bring the spectator's body closer into an immersion into filmic space by simulating the physical and sensorial experience of travelling. Such technologies can be described as tri-dimensional, surrounding, immersive, kinaesthetic and stereoscopic. Moreover, I discuss the extent to which these technologies can be considered haptic, ocular or embodied, while referring to Laura U. Marks' notions of haptic visuality and haptic images.
