Title: | Fronteiras errantes: o Oriente na literatura de viagens inglesa | Other Titles: | Wandering borders: the Orient in english travel writing | Authors: | Matos, Jacinta Maria | Issue Date: | 2004 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | This paper offers a necessarily succint overview of the way the Orient has been depicted in English Travel Writing, from the medieval narrative of John Mandeville to the Romantic joumey of Alexander Kinglake. The last section of the article considers V.S.NaipauPs An Area of Darkness as an example of some of the recurrent tropes in orientalist discourse that persist today, but also as a paradigm of the deterritorialized, decentred condition of the postcolonial subject. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/39976 | ISSN: | 0870-4112 2183-7139 (digital) |
