- Title
The Travel Accounts We Don't Write About. Eastern European Ways of Mapping the World.
- Authors
Sabou, Lavinia
- Abstract
Eastern European travel accounts seem to represent an exotic, less analyzed space of discourse where some clichés (such as oriental, Balkan) are supposed to cover the lack of interest Europe had upon it over the decades.1 This paper focuses on the Eastern way of experiencing voyages and how these account for a depiction of the European realm. For this purpose, we shall analyze some discourse recurrences which reveal the search of otherness, but also a fascinating imprinted legacy of the Byzantine culture upon the space.
