Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'angoisse du Journal de bord, quand Bougainville cherche à travers l'immense Pacifique à sauver les équipages épuisés par la famine et le scorbut, ne fait pas oublier les pages que le livre a consacrées à sa découverte enchantée de Tahiti. Celles-là qu'ont privilégiées les lecteurs du Voyage imprimé de 1771 (et tant d'autres depuis) afin d'arrimer leurs rêveries à l'île paradisiaque. Il importe aujourd'hui de lire ce texte dans sa totalité pour saisir la dimension héroïque de l'aventure : le premier tour du monde accompli par des vaisseaux français, proclame Bougainville. Trois ans de navigation pour rendre les Malouines à Madrid, sonder en visiteur-espion l'Amérique hispanique, ramener les géants patagons de légende à leur attachante humanité, côtoyer les Fuégiens, deshérités du bout du monde, livrer au commanditaire royal un état présent de l'empire colonial hollandais (îles aux épices et Afrique australe). C'est cette aventure conduite par un homme des Lumières, plus philosophe que savant, pétri d'optimisme sans illusion, qu'il fallait restituer et éclairer. Son livre est celui d'un officier dont la défaite de 1763 a fait un marin et un voyageur-écrivain, qui se plaît à faire prévaloir, par une plume incisive, la vertu de l'expérience sur l'esprit de système : "Je suis voyageur et marin ; c'est à dire, un menteur, et un imbécile aux yeux de cette classe d'écrivains paresseux et superbes qui, dans les ombres de leur cabinet, philosophent à perte de vue sur le monde et ses habitants, et soumettent impérieusement la nature à leurs imaginations""--Page 4 de la couverture

Download or read book Labeling People written by Martin S. Staum and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century French scholars, during a turbulent era of revolution and industrialization, ranked intelligence and character according to facial profile, skin colour, and head shape. They believed that such indicators could determine whether individuals were educable and peoples perfectible. In Labeling People Martin Staum examines the Paris societies of phrenology (reading intelligence and character by head shapes), geography, and ethnology and their techniques for classifying people. He shows how the work of these social scientists gave credence to the arrangement of races in a hierarchy, the domination of non-European peoples, and the limitation of opportunities for ill-favoured individuals within France. social scientists before 1848 with a later period of concern for national decline and racial degeneration, Staum demonstrates that the earlier learned societies were also fearful of turmoil at home and interested in adventure abroad. Both geographers and ethnologists created concepts of fundamental racial inequality that prefigured the imperialist associationist discourse of the Third Republic, believing that European tutelage would guide civilizable peoples, and providing an open invitation to dominate and exploit the uncivilizable.

Download or read book Longfellow s Tattoos written by Christine Guth and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Longfellow, son of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, arrived in Yokohama in 1871, intending a brief visit, and stayed for two years. He returned to Boston laden with photographs, curios, and art objects, as well as the elaborate tattoos he had "collected" on his body. His journals, correspondence, and art collection dramatically demonstrate America’s early impressions of Japanese culture, and his personal odyssey illustrates the impact on both countries of globetrotting tourism. Interweaving Longfellow’s experiences with broader issues of tourism and cultural authenticity, Christine Guth discusses the ideology of tourism and the place of Japan within nineteenth-century round-the-world travel. This study goes beyond simplistic models of reciprocal influence and authenticity to a more synergistic account of cross-cultural dynamics.
Download or read book Discovery and Empire written by John West-Sooby and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French connection with the South Seas stretches back at least as far as the voyage of Binot Paulmier de Gonneville (1503-1505), who believed he had discovered the fabled great south land after being blown off course during a storm near the Cape of Good Hope. The story of his voyage remained largely forgotten for over 150 years, but eventually resurfaced in 1664 thanks to the publication by the Abbe Jean Paulmier of a document in which he argued, on the basis of this supposed discovery, for the establishment of a Christian mission in this "third part" of the world. While historians today contest the authenticity of various aspects of the Abbe Paulmier's Memoires, there is no doubt about the impact it had in France, both on the collective imagination and, more concretely, on French plans for exploration and colonial expansion. It was not until the eighteenth century, however, that France began sending mariners to the southern oceans on a regular basis, and by that time a new maritime power had begun to emerge: Great Britain. Together, these two nations would play a decisive role in determining the configuration of these little known parts of the globe, and particularly of the Pacific, which had for so long been the almost exclusive preserve of Spain.' (From the Introduction by John West-Sooby.) DISCOVERY AND EMPIRE is a collection of essays originating out of a symposium that was held at the State Library of South Australia on 8 July 2009. The symposium formed one of the strands of the XVIIth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Association of European Historians (6-9 July 2009), the overall theme for which was 'Europe's Expansions and Contractions'.
