Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the influence of the voluminous travel literature of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries on the imagination of Romantic writers such as Wordsworth and Byron, with particular reference to the theme of suffering in travel. It examines the ways in which Romantic travel, and Romantic writings about travel, are often 'scripted' by a body of prior travel literature which today is largely overlooked. The travel texts in question all foreground the elements of danger and discomfort in the travelling experience, and the thesis begins by arguing that an interest in the traveller's misadventures was an integral part of the appeal of travel writing in this period, constituting almost a mode or sub-genre within Voyages and Travels. Taking one strand of this literature of 'misadventure', the narrative of shipwreck, mutiny and other maritime misadventures, Chapter 1 explores the different rhetorical strategies used by writers to recount the sufferings of travellers. Accounts by John Newton, William Dampier, John Byron, George Shelvocke and others illustrate, broadly, a shift from Providentialism to sentimentalism in the handling of misadventure; they illustrate also the various philosophical, theological and political issues which are involved for any reader trying to make sense of the sufferings described. Chapter 2 then considers how these conventions of misadventure are borrowed by another sub-genre of Voyages and Travels, the exploration narrative. Using the accounts of James Cook, John Ross, Edward Parry, James Bruce and Mungo Park, the chapter argues that in being thus exploited by explorers, a further layer of political significance - touching on matters of empire and modernity attaches itself to the idea of suffering in travel. Chapters 1 and 2 illuminate positive stimuli to the Romantic interest in misadventure, showing how suffering in travel could be regarded as signifying, variously, divine election, authenticity, moral worth, political protest, and much else besides. Chapter 3 is short contextual chapter which suggests that there was also a negative stimulus to the Romantic taste, for misadventure, in the form of a rapidly growing, diversifying tourism. Focussing especially on the picturesque tourist delineated by William Gilpin, and the classical Grand Tourist influenced by Joseph Addison, it suggests that Romantic writers and travellers prized discomfort and danger in travel not only for its own sake, but also because it served to distinguish them from other types of recreational traveller. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss Wordsworth and Byron respectively, showing how the conventions and attitudes explored in Chapters 1 and 2, and the use of travel as a mode of social distinction explored in Chapter 3, play out in both the writings and the actual travels of these two major Romantic figures. Both men present themselves as misadventurers, and borrow rhetorical strategies from the earlier travel literature to do so. At the same time, Wordsworth and Byron each borrow different elements from the earlier texts, or make a different inflection of the same inherited conventions. Exploring these differences, and referring to a range of texts notably the Salisbury Plain poems, The Borderers and the 'Analogy Passage' of The Prelude for Wordsworth, and Childe Harold, Don Juan Canto 2 and The Island for Byron chapters 4 and 5 articulate the very different political, philosophical and aesthetic points being made by Wordsworth and Byron as they pose, both on the page and in actuality, as suffering travellers.

Beames, Simon K. "Overseas youth expeditions : outcomes, elements, processes." Thesis, University of Chichester, 2004. http://eprints.chi.ac.uk/848/.
Full textAbstract:
This case study examines the participant outcomes, critical elements, and processes of young people's experiences on a ten-week expedition to West Africa. A secondary aim was to explore how one expedition structure caters to the varied goals of the participants. The study's rationale lies in the limited research focusing on young people's accounts of their experiences and how outcomes in overseas youth expeditions are achieved. Symbolic interactionism provides a framework for exploring the ways in which young people construct meaning and identity from their experiences. Mead's (1934) and Cooley's (1962; 1964) work illustrate how individuals develop their 'self through interaction with expedition team-members'. Blumer (1969) helps to understand how participants are influenced by their interpretations of the physical, social, and abstract objects with which they interact. Principal data collection involved interviewing 14 young people before, during, and six months after the expedition. Secondary data were derived from informal discussion and participant observation. Interview transcripts were interpreted using a combination of phenomenology and thematic analysis. Verification relied on member checks, investigator triangulation, and peer review. The data suggest that an overseas expedition is a highly subjective experience. People came for a wide range of reasons and took away learnings with personal relevance. The principal outcomes are improved relationships with one's self, with others, and with greater society. The critical elements of the experience are living with three different and diverse groups, being self-sufficient in an unfamiliar rural environment, and participating in activities perceived as challenging and worthwhile. Participants processed their experiences through reflection, one-to-one conversations with staff, and informal dialogue with their peers. The thesis concludes that effective expeditions encourage each participant to determine their own learning. Groups comprised of people from varied backgrounds who interact in unfamiliar settings yield critical opportunities for individuals to reexamine and modify the attitudes that shape their actions. Finally, staff should ensure that participants have ample time to interpret their own experiences through unstructured reflection and informal conversation.

Full textAbstract:
Les "Voyages de Gulliver" s'inscrivent dans la tradition du voyage imaginaire, genre fondé par Lucien de Samosate, et qui a connu un grand essor en France au XVIIe siècle. Les liens entre l'oeuvre de Swift et les récits en français relèvent de deux types. D'une part, des relations intertextuelles rattachent les "Voyages" à plusieurs hypotextes (l'"Histoire véritable" dans la version des d'Ablancourt, le "Quart livre" de Rabelais et "L'autre monde" de Cyrano de Bergerac). D'autre part, certaines similitudes résultent de l'appartenance commune au genre du voyage imaginaire. Partageant de nombreux codes et topoi͏̈ avec l'"Histoire des Sévarambes" de Veiras, "La Terre australe connue" de Foigny, et les "Voyages et aventures de Jacques Massé" de Tyssot de Patot, le récit de Swift s'ancre dans un réseau générique, et mène une réflexion critique sur la société, sur les rapports entre vérité et fiction ainsi que sur la continuité littéraire, quíl incarne et perpétue"Gulliver's travels" belong to the imaginary voyage tradition, founded by Lucian of Samosata and particularly popular in 17th-Century France. The links between Swift's work and the texts in French are of two types. The "Travels" are intertextually connected to several hypotexts (the d'Ablancourt version of the "True history", Rabelais' "Quart livre", Cyrano de Bergerac's "L'autre monde"), whereas other resemblances are the result of traits characteristic of the genre. Swift's text shares many codes and topoi͏̈ with Veiras' "Histoire des Sévarambes", Foigny's "Terre australe connue" and Tyssot de Patot's "Voyages et aventures de Jacques Massé", anchoring itself firmly within a textual network in order to reflect upon human society, truth and fiction, as well as literary continuity, which the work both embodies and perpetuates

Full textAbstract:
Jean-Baptiste Tavernier (1605-1689), aventurier français parti dès 1631 sur les routes de l’Asie, est l’une des figures majeures du Grand Siècle. Ses voyages en Asie – au nombre de six et dont il publie les relations dès 1676 – témoignent du nouvel engouement européen pour l’Asie et ses contrées exotiques et mystérieuses. Mais au-delà de ses qualités de conteur, Tavernier est avant tout un négociant : pierres de couleurs, perles, pièces de joaillerie et d’orfèvrerie, et surtout diamants provenant des fameuses mines de Golconde en Inde, tous ces objets témoignent de la richesse et de la variété des produits négociés par Tavernier. A chacune des étapes de ses périples, ses cargaisons suscitent curiosité, envie et fascination. Sa clientèle est riche et diversifiée et prouve la facilité avec laquelle Tavernier maîtrise l’art du négoce et celui de la diplomatie. Homme de son temps, acteur majeur des relations entre Orient et Occident en pleine époque de création des nombreuses compagnies des Indes orientales, témoin de l’évolution de la société et des grands conflits socio politiques du XVIIe siècle, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier reflète parfaitement l’évolution du Grand Siècle et les diversités de son approche. Quel est l’héritage de ce personnage essentiel du commerce des pierres précieuses et de l’histoire de la joaillerie ?Jean-Baptiste Tavernier (1605-1689), a French adventurer who left for Asia in 1631, is one of the major figures of the Grand Siècle. His voyages to Asia – six in total and told thanks to his travelogues he published for the first time in 1676 – bear witness of the new European interest for the Asian continent and its exotic and mysterious cultures. But beyond his qualities as a storyteller, Tavernier was first and foremost a merchant : colored stones, pearls, items of jewelry and gold, and especially diamonds from the famous Golconda mines in India, are examples of the opulent goods bought and sold by Tavernier. At each step of his expeditions, his cargoes arouse curiosity, envy and fascination. His clients are wealthy and eclectic and prove the ease with which Tavernier másters the arts of trading and diplomacy. A man of his time, playing a major role in the forging of relations between the East and the West during the creation of the various East Indian Companies, a witness to social changes and the great sóciopolitical conflits of the XVIIth century, Tavernier’s trajectory mirrors perfectly the evolution of the Grand Siècle and the particularities of his time. What is the legacy of this essential character in the History of jewelry and the precious gemstones trade?

Konglim, Parichart. "The language of tourism advertising in five countries worst affected by the Asian Tsunami : before and after, focussing on Thailand." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2011. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/6090/.
Full textAbstract:
This research investigated the use of language in the texts of the promotional brochures created for the tourist industry. The selected printed materials for the study were used in advertising the five countries most severely affected by the Asian Tsunami in 2004 (Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and the Maldives). The focus of the analysis was on the two sets of brochures of the five selected countries published by the UK’s leading travel agencies – Thomas Cook, Thomson and Kuoni before and after the disaster. The contrastive discourse analysis was applied in order to investigate the similarities and differences of linguistic features within the texts both between the two sets for each country as well as between the five selected countries. The overall results of the text analysis from the five selected countries have shown significant changes in language use. The investigation revealed that in the post-disaster set of brochures the number of destinations was broadened and their descriptions were made more vivid. The post-disaster texts represented more efforts in developing a wider range of tourism attractions and activities in order to expand the markets and increase the number as well as type of potential future tourists. The information derived from the questionnaire has revealed the potential tourists’ sensitivity to language used in promotional brochures. The results demonstrated that most respondents were aware of the change of language used before and after the Tsunami. The findings validated the hypothesis that the role of language within tourism advertising is as significant as the role of images. This has a major impact on individuals’ choosing their next holiday destination since many potential tourists still base their holiday decision-making on holiday brochures. The research has found that the role of language plays a significant role in tourism advertising representations and also has a major part as one of the marketing tools in tourism promotional strategy.

"The wreck of the Dutch man o' war, Amsterdam, in December 1817 on the Eastern Cape coast of Southern Africa: an elucidation of the literary and material remains with an annotated translation of the Journal of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer (1814-1818)." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002385.
Full textAbstract:
This study endeavours to elucidate the journal of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer of the Dutch man 0' war, Amsterdam, which has been transcribed from the original script, translated from Dutch into English and interpreted from a contemporary viewpoint. It offers an opportunity to evaluate a unique primary historical document which records an important historical event. An attempt has been made to contextualise the incident in the light of the early history of the Dutch people. The contribution of the Dutch East India Company (VaC) to the trade and commerce of the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries has been assessed together with the shipbuilding techniques that served to make the Dutch a major seafaring nation. The significance of Texel and Nieuwediep has been examined and the sea route and navigational instruments placed in perspective. The voyage has been analysed in some detail. The background of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer has proved especially interesting. Although he pursued his career with the Dutch Navy, he was born and spent his early years in Cape Town, South Africa. The time spent by the Amsterdam in Batavia, Samaraog and Sourabaya gives an insight into the Dutch possessions overseas. The return voyage, storms and ultimate grounding are of special interest as Hofmeijer records the journey and events on a daily basis. The impact and significance of 217 extra people in the Eastern Cape area did not go unnoticed, and although the event was not well documented, an attempt at some contextualisation has been made. Finally a short overview of maritime archaeology in South Africa and its significance as a relatively new discipline has been included. The study of the material remains of the wreck of the Amsterdam has resulted in a new understanding of wooden ships built in the early 19th century.

Full textAbstract:
Une remarque de Sterne a permis de confronter, dès sa parution en 1768, Le Voyage sentimental au récit de Smollett : Travels through France and Italie (1766). Leurs formes littéraires les différencient d'emblée. Mais les œuvres de fiction aussi bien que les réflexions émises au fil de lettres ou d'essais par ces auteurs et leurs contemporains se rejoignent pour indiquer les interrogations et les certitudes qui les habitent. Cette étude utilise donc ces deux types de sources pour replacer les œuvres dans une période où les évolutions dans l'économie et la société provoquent, surtout en Angleterre, espoirs et inquiétudes chez les observateurs. Ambiguïtés et hésitations, propres à une époque de transformations, sont partagées par ces auteurs et leurs contemporains. Le public se passionne au dix-huitième siècle pour le thème du voyage. Bien que souvent évoqués, les états italiens et surtout la France revêtent un intérêt particulier dans un contexte où la rivalité commerciale devient fréquemment militaire. Pourtant, malgré leurs convergences, les buts, les messages et les formes d'écriture choisies par les deux auteurs divergent. Smollett parait vouloir écrire un récit de voyage instructif, plaisant et utile, surtout adressé à des lecteurs britanniques, tandis que Sterne privilégie l'aspect humain et donc plus universel de l'étrangerOne of Sterne’s remarks has enabled readers to contrast The Sentimental journey (1768) with Smollett's travel book, Travels through France and Italy (1766), from the day the novel was published. They obviously differ through their literary forms. However, works of fiction as well as ideas expressed in letters or other non-fiction works by the authors and by their contemporaries, enable us to find clues to the questions they raised and the certainties they felt they could depend upon. This study therefore makes use of those two kinds of data to anchor the works in a period when economic evolution and its attendant social changes kindled both hopes and anxieties in the minds of observers, especially in England. The reactions of the authors and their contemporaries tend to show such signs of ambiguity and hesitancy as can be expected in a period of upheavals. Travel literature in the eighteenth century was immensely popular with the reading public. Although France and the Italian states had often been described, interest in these subjects did not wane, especially as, in the case of France, the period was one of commercial rivalry, often leading to military conflict. Yet, in spite of the many common points they share, the two authors differ as to their aims, messages and stylistic choices. Smollett writes an interesting, entertaining and useful travel book meant mainly for British readers, while Sterne favors the human aspect and thus the more universal condition that he finds in foreign lands and people

Full textAbstract:
A presente pesquisa tem como tema o Roteiro Turístico, buscando avançar na sua análise em termos teórico e conceitual, questionando se as categorias Sujeito e (Geo)Tecnologias, agregadas ao conceito de Roteiro Turístico, contribuiriam para redimensioná-lo e equacioná-lo com uma construção epistemológica do Turismo que transcendesse os limites mercadológicos e economicistas e, particularmente, incorporasse a lógica dos fluxos. A literatura especializada ainda dedica pouco espaço e aprofundamento à questão do roteiro e à roteirização, conforme o demonstrou a pesquisa exploratória inicial desta investigação, da qual também emergiram as categorias Tempo, Espaço e Tematização. Estas categorias demarcam o que, no corpo do trabalho, passou a ser tratado com Roteiro Turístico Tradicional. O avanço da análise mostrou que, na atualidade, o Roteiro Turístico deve contemplar, na sua abordagem, Sujeito e (Geo)Tecnologias, como novas categorias constituintes para a compreensão do Roteiro Turístico. A Dialética, tomada como opção metodológica inicial para dar suporte ao diálogo necessário entre o estado da arte atual, portanto a TESE, e os questionamentos e proposições de novas categorias (Sujeito e Tecnologia), para a composição da ANTÍTESE, mostraram-se insuficientes para encaminhar a SÍNTESE; o impasse exigiu o questionamento do caminho percorrido, inclusive em termos metodológicos, para o avanço da investigação. Como conseqüência, buscou-se na COMPLEXIDADE, conforme proposta por Edgar Morin, o suporte epistemo-filosófico, para o prosseguimento da investigação. Disso, resultou a idéia de Fluxo como categoria para organizar a compreensão que se buscava. Com esses subsídios, a construção da Síntese levou à superação do entendimento do Todo como a soma das partes, ou seja, não apenas uniram-se as categorias para propor um conceito de Roteiro Turístico mas, a partir de sua equalização, pode-se perceber o Roteiro Turístico em três esferas: (1) a priori; (2) empirização; e (3) a posteriori.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-04T19:27:09Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Rebecca de Nazareth Costa Cisne.pdf: 3212807 bytes, checksum: b6baf3ebf8257a06bddc651e23475c8a (MD5)

Castets, Sylvie. "L'exotisme : un art du débordement." Thesis, Pau, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PAUU1005/document.
Full textAbstract:
L'art actuel est fait, pour partie, de mobilités et de formes si diverses, que d'après certains critiques et commissaires, tels que Jean-Hubert Martin ou Bao Dong, la sensation d'exotisme existe encore. On peut d'ailleurs s'étonner, qu'à l'heure de la globalisation, elle soit toujours aussi vivace. Elle l'est effectivement ; mais elle est aussi distincte de ce sentiment particulier qui offrait aux voyageurs occidentaux du XVIII et XIX èmes siècles, l'assurance de leur supériorité. Victor Segalen a, en effet, donné à l'exotisme une autre définition, chargée, celle-là, de valeurs esthétiques et éthiques. Par exotisme, il ne s'agissait donc plus de qualifier une chose, une région ou encore un être, mais d'envisager une expérience profonde de la différence perçue comme étant irréductible. Quant au monde de l'art, il s'est laissé pénétrer d'exotismes et a produit une multitude d'oeuvres, provoquant, à leur manière, des débordements de différentes natures. Il s'agira dans cette recherche d'en analyser les caractéristiques et les enjeux, en prenant pour prétexte l'étude des constituants plastiques d'un tableau peint. Le jeu des analogies entre les espaces – réels ou représentés – permettra ainsi de dégager, dans le détail, certains aspects d'une géo-esthétique, et de manière plus générale, de rendre manifeste le fait qu'il n'y a pas un, mais des mondes de l'artArt today is partly made of mobilities and forms so diverse that according to art critics and curators such as J. H Martin or Bao Dang, the feeling of exoticism still exists. Besides one may be surprised that in the age of globalization that feeling is so vivid . Indeed it is,but it is also different from that particular feeling that gave the European travellers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the certainty that they were superior to the other people. Indeed V. Segalen gave exoticism another definition laden with aesthetic and ethical values.Through exoticism it was no longer a question of describing a thing, a region or even a human being but of considering a profound experience of the difference viewed as being resolutely different.As for the world of Art, it let itself be filled by exoticism and it has produced a vast number of masterpieces, creating in their own way diversions of all kinds. The purpose of my research will then be to analyze the characteristics and what is at stakes in exoticism, under the pretence of studying the plastic constituents of a painting.The game of analogies between the spaces- either realistic or as they are represented- will allow to single out in detail some aspects of a geo- aesthetics and more generally to make it obvious that there is not ONE world of Art but several

The present study assumes an interdisciplinary nature and privileges the undertaken assumption as hypothesis that there is a relation of anthropological nature of the human beings with the small islands, which, by conditioning tourists’ options when choosing their destinies, tends to be exploited by the tour operators in their marketing and advertising campaigns. From this point on, the results of an intense, bibliographic research are presented, through which information was gathered and conceptual networks considered pertinent were organized. This process culminates in a selection of cases of island tourism promotion, which, through the analyses of the correspondent texts and images, allow to illustrate the clues opened not only by papers and other works of reference but also by reasoning exercises that were, in the meantime, put to test regarding their coherence, adaptation and reasoning.El presente estudio tiene naturaleza interdisciplinar y parte del supuesto que hay una relación de naturaleza antropológica de los seres humanos con las islas pequeñas, la cual, condicionando las opciones de los turistas en la elección de sus destinos, tiende a ser explorada por los promotores turísticos en sus campañas de marketing y publicidad. A partir de aquí, se presentan los resultados de una investigación bibliográfica intensa a través de la cual se recogieron informaciones y se organizaron diversos marcos conceptuales. Este proceso culmina en una selección de casos de promoción del turismo insular, los cuales, por el análisis de los respectivos textos e imágenes, permiten ilustrar las ideas derivadas de los artículos y otros trabajos de referencia, así como de los razonamientos realizados durante la investigación.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s’appuie sur les expériences professionnelles de voyage de commerçantestransnationales angolaises qui voyagent à l’étranger pour rapporter des produitsmanufacturés (vêtements, chaussures, accessoires féminins) qu’elles transportentdirectement dans leurs valises sans déclarer l’objectif commercial de leur activité. Cecommerce, pratiqué sur l’ensemble du continent africain s’est intensifiée en Angolaavec la fin de la guerre en 2002 et l’ouverture des relations internationales avec despartenaires comme le Portugal, le Brésil, Dubaï et la Chine. Ce travail analyse deuxvagues de mobilités commerciales féminines : de l’Angola vers le Brésil et de l’Angolavers la Chine. S’intéressant aux rôles spécifiques des femmes africaines sur troisespaces, l’observation menée sur les marchés de São Paulo, Luanda et Canton s’inscritdans la perspective de la globalisation « par le bas ». Interrogeant les processusémancipatoires, ce travail cherche à vérifier si la circulation commerciale permet auxfemmes de prendre conscience des rapports de pouvoir qui les marginalisent et dedévelopper leur capacité à les transformer. Cependant, la thèse défendue est que lescaractéristiques de l’économie « parallèle » où les frontières entre le légal, l’illégal, lelicite et l’illicite se confondent, conditionnent les capacités d’autonomisation desfemmes et pénalisent la revendication de leurs droits. À l’heure de l’accélération de laglobalisation des échanges entre pays du Sud, cette thèse a pour ambition de donnerune vision intimiste et féministe de la mobilité en suivant le parcours et les récits devie de plusieurs femmes angolaises entre le Brésil, l’Angola et la ChineThis thesis is based on the professional experiences of a small group of transnationalAngolan traders how travel abroad to bring back manufactured products (clothing,shoes, and women’s accessories) that they transport in their suitcases withoutdeclaring the commercial aim of this activity. After the end of the Angolan civil war in2002, allowing for the opening of international relations with partners such asPortugal, Brazil, Dubai and China, the feminization of this commercial practiceintensified. This thesis analyzes these phenomena through different case studiesinvolving two waves of female transnational traders: the first being from Angola toBrazil, and the second from Angola to China. By investigating the specific roles ofthese African women in the three different spaces where they were observed, themarkets of São Paulo, Luanda and Guangzhou, the research fits into the perspectiveof globalization from below. By investigating these emancipatory processes, thisresearch attempts to verify if this commercial activity allows the women to becomeconscious of the power relations that marginalize them and whether thisconsciousness develops the capacity to transform them. However, the thesis defendedhere assumes that the characteristics of the “parallel” economy, where the bordersblur between legal and illegal, licit and illicit, condition the capacities of the women’sempowerment and put them at a disadvantage in the collective demands for theirrights. At of time when globalization is accelerating, this study endeavors to give anintimate, feminist vision of mobility through the journey and the life stories of variousAngolan women as they travel between Brazil, Angola and China

Full textAbstract:
Au tournant du XIXe siècle, Teplitz est une ville thermale renommée à la frontière de la Bohême du Nord et de la Saxe. Il s’agit aussi de la seigneurie des Clary-Aldringen, une maison noble de la monarchie des Habsbourg élevée au rang princier en 1767. Durant la décennie révolutionnaire, les mobilités familiales entre Vienne, Prague et Teplitz se déroulent en même temps que la circulation d’un nombre croissant de baigneurs, parmi lesquels les fonctionnaires de la monarchie, les vétérans des armées de Prusse, de Saxe et d’Autriche ou les nobles francophones en exil. Les correspondances et les journaux comme ceux de Charles-Joseph de Clary-Aldringen (1777-1831) contiennent de précieuses informations sur la manière dont cette grande famille vécut le temps des révolutions et des restaurations en Europe centrale. Avec les comptabilités et les documents administratifs, les Clary-Aldringen ont également laissé de riches sources iconographiques qui présentent un regard original sur le monde de la « première société » au tournant du XIXe siècle. Leurs archives éclairent une période où le théâtre, la peinture et la littérature de société répondent à une quête identitaire née au moment des émigrations comme celle du prince de Ligne accueilli par sa belle famille à Teplitz en 1794. Cette thèse propose d’examiner le fonctionnement de cette maison princière pour mieux comprendre les transformations de la culture aristocratique qui accompagnent les transformations du pouvoir juridique et politique de la noblesse à l’échelle des seigneuries comme dans le concert des nations du XIXe siècle.Quels sont les enjeux d’une vie construite à Teplitz et dans le monde, alors que les bouleversements de la fin de l’époque moderne entraînent la recomposition de l’Europe des dynasties ? Les aspects éducatifs, les mobilités dans la monarchie et à l’étranger ou l’usage du français et de l’allemand sont des éléments essentiels pour aborder une période de refondation de la légitimité aristocratique avec la disparition du Saint-Empire Romain Germanique et la politique des congrès menée après 1815. Les recherches dans les archives de cette grande famille francophone visent ainsi à interroger la conception aristocratique d’une « Europe des Habsbourg » entre la Révolution française et le Printemps des peuplesAt the turn of the 19th century, Teplitz was a well-known spa at the border between North Bohemia and Saxony. It was also part of the seignorial estates of the Clary-Aldringen family who had been promoted to Princely House in 1767. The first Princes of Clary- Aldringen led an aristocratic way of life in their palaces in Vienna and Prague and in their castle in Teplitz. The letters and diaries written by Charles Joseph of Clary-Aldringen provide essential information to understand how this aristocratic family faced the challenges of the revolutions and restorations in Central Europe. Those were unstable times when political and social powers became questioned while new nations were emerging in central Europe.What is at stake then in their lives when the revolutionary upheavals unbalance the dynastic order in Europe? This research aims to analyse how this princely House managed to face the transformations in aristocratic culture at the end of the Holy Roman Empire and in the first decades of the Austrian empire. Indeed the Clary-Aldringen left a hoard of visual documents also with financial and administrative records, all showing the striking features of the “First Society” in the Habsburg monarchy. The archives lead us back to a period when amateur theatre, paintings and writings were given pride of place. The exceptional variety of the documents found allows us to better apprehend how the aristocrats of the Habsburg monarchy conceived their roles and their legitimacy in Europe during the period of revolutions and just before the Spring of the Peoples. One decisive key lies in the fact that this family kept travelling over Europe after 1792

This dissertation comparatively explores and critically evaluates the historical and traditional notions that are commonly held by Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land; and it does so by examining the archaeological, historical, and literary evidence, with specific reference to the existent material remnants that are closely associated with the burial of Christ Jesus.
The research will highlight the impact that biblical archaeological findings and the results thereof have had on these identified pilgrimage sites. Both the strengths and the weaknesses of the evidence will be enumerated; and the implications for the practice and significance of pilgrimages will be set out.Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies
