PETRICA Virginia Magdalena - FROUTES OF TEMPORARY DISPLACEMENT IN LATE NINETEENTH-CENTURY
ROMANIA: TRAJECTORIES OF SPACE IN THE TRAVEL ACCOUNTS OF
ADÈLE HOMMAIRE DE HELL AND JAMES WILLIAM OZANNE (pag. 13-27)
: The article scrutinizes the trajectories of space in the travel accounts of the Frenchwoman Adèle Hommaire de Hell and of the British journalist James William Ozanne who spend one year (1868), respectively three years (1870-1873) in Romania. During their temporary displacement they use various means of transport—such as steamboat, coach, or train—which provide multiple perspectives on the local spatiality and different decoupages of the social, cultural, and economic reality. Taking into account criticism in mentalities and spatial studies, I show that the network of the travellers’ routes configures cartographic sequences of the Romanian territory at the end of the 1860s and the beginning of the 1870s.
