Описание:
Although the increasing mobility of contemporary societies and cultures has brought the subject of travel and travel writing to our attention in recent decades, our critical attentions have not usually been focused on the history and role of travel itself. How have the experiences and meanings of travel changed, especially in relation to radical social and cultural shifts? This study historicizes the nature of travel by describing its significance in an emerging world-economy, especially in contrast to world-empires. This study argues that in the modern world-economy of the long sixteenth century, three relatively distinct kinds of traveling subjectivities emerged, subjectivities that functionally correspond to the economic system’s interconnected relations among core, periphery and semiperiphery. This study will be of interest to economic, political, literary and cultural historians exploring the importance of our increasing mobilities in the modern era.Похожие книги
