Produktinformationen zu „Imperial Eyes (PDF)“
Studies in colonial and exploration discourse have identified the enormous significance of travel writing as an ideological apparatus of Empire. The study of travel writing has, however, tended to remain either naïvely celebratory, or dismissive, treating texts as symptoms of imperial ideologies.
Imperial Eyes intriguingly explores European travel and exploration writing, in conjunction with European economic and political expansion since 1700. It is both a study in genre and a critique of ideology. Pratt examines how travel books by Europeans create the domestic subject of European imperialism, and how they engage metropolitan reading publics with expansionist enterprises whose material benefits accrued mainly to the very few. These questions are addressed through readings of travel accounts connected with particular historical sentimental travel writing. It examines the links with abolitionist rhetoric; discursive reinventions of South America during the period of its independence (1800-1840); and eighteenth century European writings on Southern Africa in the context of inland expansion.
