Jacques La Mothe, The Aesthetics of Otherness in Contemporary Travel Writing
The aim of this study is to show how contemporary travel writing breaks the rules of usage that have structured this "minor genre " and, instead of reproducing it, attempts to examine its components. Throughout the five volumes generically entitled Génie du lieu (The Spirit of Place), we have used the image of an Indian trail as the guiding thread leading us through a cycle of travel accounts taken from the work of the contemporary writer, Michel Butor. This approach allows the description to emerge through a generalized, comparative textuel analysis. The literary texte challenges traditional ethnographic description through its use in a critical context. This renewal of the genre fosters a fuller perception than that originally attempted, as well as a sharper awareness of the Other. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
