This volume brings together twenty-two authors from various
countries who analyze travelogues on the Ottoman Empire between the
fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. 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
hajj, 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.
