This thesis is the first book-length study of Johannes Schiltberger's Reisebuch, the German-language account of the Bavarian crusader's approximately 30-year captivity and enforced travels in the Middle East under the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I (r. 1389-1403), the Turko-Mongolian warlord Timūr (r. 1370-1405) and his successors. It investigates the Reisebuch's representation of the Orient. My reexamination of the manuscript and print transmission from c. 1450 to 1600 has shown that there were various versions of the Reisebuch in circulation, and I base my reading of the work on this basic multiplicity and variety. This variance is pertinent for a literary interpretation of the Reisebuch because the manifest narrative and material transformations go hand in hand with differing thematic foci, narratological and representational strategies, so that one can confidently contend each version of the Reisebuch negotiates a distinct relationship with the eastern 'other'. I argue that the transmission diverges into three strands as (1) an abridged chronicle that emphasises the complexity of political and military relations in the East; (2) a proto-ethnographic account with a focus on religious diversity; and (3) six paratextual reconceptualisations of the Reisebuch as Turcica in early print. In short, my study engages with the transmission and transformation of material, on the one hand, and with the consequences of this creative process for cultural ideas, on the other: it asks what role 'rewriting' - deliberate and inventive adaptation - plays in the Reisebuch's portrayals of the East. My thesis therefore provides not only the first in-depth reading of Schiltberger's Reisebuch as a 'medieval multi-text' (a term coined by Iain Macleod Higgins to indicate the inter-textuality and intra-textuality common to the medieval travel account) but highlights its representational process as multiple, polyvocal and dynamic.

This work deals with a theme, which is increasingly becoming popular amongst scholars. It is a theme dealing with Russian pilgrims and travellers, who visited the areas of the Middle East, especially those places, such as Constantinople, the Holy Land, Mt. Athos and others. Under the designation Russian pilgrims we do not mean individuals belonging to a specific ethnic group, but individuals who were related to Russia understood as a political formation and state. The contacts between the south and Russia, have important consequences for the development of Russia itself, its culture, identity and history. This is also the case for the Middle East, where the contacts with Russia determined to a large extent the development and character of this area. The Russian contacts with the south should be primarily viewed in terms of the Byzantine-Russian context. These were based on cultural influences and on a shared faith and identity. The cultural and religious contacts were enabled by travelling individuals, who travelled without and with a specific goal. In the context of these journeys the prime motivation was a religious one, when a pilgrimage to such areas as Constantinople, Mt. Athos, the Holy Land, helped to build a religious identity in Russia, since before the fall of Constantinople, religion...

Esta dissertação trata de Porto Alegre durante os anos de 1820 – 1890. Tem como objetivo realizar uma análise das transformações e características de seu espaço urbano a partir da leitura e do cruzamento das descrições da cidade contidas nos relatos dos viajantes estrangeiros. É um estudo que se apóia nos diários destes informantes, fontes não oficiais e pouco utilizadas nas pesquisas empreendidas por arquitetos e urbanistas sobre a capital, para valorizá-los como possibilidades de contribuição para o estudo da cidade. Nesse sentido a pesquisa busca alternativa às fontes utilizadas com mais freqüência como a cartografia histórica e os documentos oficiais e procura avaliar que estas outras fontes são importantes e devem ser mais exploradas pelos estudos urbanos. Seu uso permitiria, assim, uma aproximação mais íntima com o cotidiano da cidade, com seus espaços, com as sensações que eles transmitem. São buscados nos textos dos viajantes informações sobre Porto Alegre relativas aos seus aspectos locacionais (implantação, arrabaldes, malha urbana/arruamento e aparência geral do conjunto), seus serviços públicos e de infra-estrutura urbana (estradas, abastecimento de água, esgotamento sanitário e pluvial, limpeza urbana, transporte, calçamento, iluminação, policiamento, aterros), seus equipamentos e espaços públicos (hospitais, instituições de ensino, templos religiosos, cais e alfândega, quartéis e edificações de cunho militar, teatros, cemitério, presídio, mercado, edifícios administrativos, esporte e lazer, praças e parques) e outras características não enquadradas nas categorias anteriores (conjunto da arquitetura residencial, população, etc). Foram selecionados seis viajantes como fontes para subsidiar a pesquisa, dispersos em saltos de tempo mais ou menos regulares ao longo dos setenta anos do recorte temporal adotado. São eles: Auguste Saint-Hilaire, Arsène Isabelle, Robert Ave-Lallemant, Oscar Canstatt, Wilhelm Breitenbach e Moritz Schanz. / This thesis is about Porto Alegre during the years of 1820 – 1890. Its objective is to analize the transformations and characteristics of its urban space from the reading and crossing of the descriptions of the city contained in the reports of foreing travelers. It is a study that relies on diaries, unofficial sources little used in the researches from architects and planners about the capital, to value them as a possible contribution to the study of the city. In this sense the research seeks alternative sources to the used most often as the historical cartography and the official documents, and also to present that these other sources are important and should be more explored by urban studies. Its use would enable a more intimate approach to the daily life of the city, with its spaces and the feelings they convey. Are sought in the writings of travelers information about Porto Alegre regarding locational aspects (implantation, suburbs, urban network/streets and general appearance of the whole), its public services and urban infrastructure (roads, water supply, sewerage, urban sanitation, transportation, sidewalks, lighting, policing, landfill), its equipment and public places (hospitals, educational institutions, religious temples, wharf and customhouse, quarters and buildings of military nature, theaters, cemeteries, prisons, markets, administrative buildings, sports and recreation, squares and parks) and other characteristics not covered into the above categories (cluster of residential architecture, population, etc.). Were selected six travelers as sources to support the research, dispersed with certain regularity throughout the seventy years studied. They are: Auguste Saint-Hilaire, Arsène Isabelle, Robert Avé-Lallemant, Oscar Canstatt, Wilhelm Breitenbach and Moritz Schanz.

Among these foreigners, were in Brazil the British Henry Koster and George Gardner; and the Americans Daniel Kidder, De Lacey Wardlaw and Mary Hoge Wardlaw, all of them Protestants. Despite the many peculiarities of these subjects, they wrote reports containing their views on this territory and its inhabitants. This dissertation deals with an analysis of discourses and experiences of these five foreign travelers Anglo-Saxon Protestants who through their writings built an extensive set of alterity relations with Brazil. / No século XIX o Brasil vivenciou uma grande presença de estrangeiros em seu território. Dentre estes estrangeiros estiveram no Brasil os britânicos Henry Koster e George Gardner; e os norte-americanos Daniel Kidder, De Lacey Wardlaw e Mary Hoge Wardlaw, todos eles protestantes. Apesar das várias peculiaridades destes sujeitos, eles escreveram relatos contendo suas impressões sobre este território e seus habitantes. Tal dissertação trata de uma análise dos discursos e experiências destes cinco viajantes estrangeiros protestantes anglo-saxões que através de seus escritos construíram um amplo jogo de relações de alteridade com o Brasil.

La thèse porte sur le voyage et les voyageurs dans le bassin du Tchad. Il s'agit de comprendre les différentes mobilités des populations à travers la région ainsi que leurs motivations. Les visites familiales constituent le premier motif du voyage autour desquelles se greffent d'autres motivations. Toutefois à travers cette mobilité incessante polarisée sur la famille dans sa pratique comme dans ses représentations, apparait un besoin de loisir et de tourisme d'une classe moyenne en émergence. Ce besoin de loisir s'exprime également par les pratiques d'expatriés qui sont d'autant différentes de celles de touristes non résidents. Les deux explorent et valorisent par leur présence les sites touristes de la région. Quelles que soient leurs motivations. Cette mobilité a une influence sur l'espace : celui du voyage et celui du loisir. Elle est empreinte de risque, d'abord à travers la perception d'une région ayant connu un conflit récurrent mais aussi par le vécu lorsque le véhicule circule sur une route qui n'existe que de nom. Ce risque est différemment apprécié par les voyageurs occidentaux et africains qui soit l'intègrent dans leur voyage et la pratique de l'espace en dépend, soit par fatalité l'acceptent sans trop y penser. Le tourisme en Afrique n'est pas seulement les chiffres de fréquentation mais aussi les différentes attitudes des populations à son égard marquées à la fois par l'indifférence, voire la méfiance ou l'intérêt. Le développement touristique inégal des pays africains en découle. / This thesis is about travelers and traveling in the basin of Chad. It helps understand people's motivations of traveling and their different movements throughout the region. Familial visits constitute their main motivation to travel. Besides it, there are other motivations. Anyway, through this ceaseless movement around family through its practice and representations, there is a tourism and leisure need for an emerging middle class. This need for leisure is also expressed through foreigners' practices which seem to be quite different from that of non resident tourists. Both, they explore and value touristic sites of the region by their presence. Whatever their motivations. This mobility has an impact on the environment: that of traveling and leisure. It is marked with risk, first, through the perception of a region which has undergone recurrent conflicts but also by the real life while traveling on a non existing road. This risk is differently appreciated by African and European travelers who either integrate it in their travel and the practices of the environment depends or accept it by fatality without thinking. Tourism in Africa is not only the number of people practicing it but also both, different attitudes of populations marked by a lack of concern, a mistrust or interest towards it. Unequal touristic development of African countries comes from it.

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo registrar os empréstimos da língua portuguesa na literatura dos viajantes italianos que tiveram contato com os portugueses. Zolli (1995), Zaccaria (1905, 1927) e DAgostino (1994) consideram que o léxico dos viajantes italianos é uma fonte de empréstimos casuals, ou seja, neologismos que não tiveram a oportunidade momentânea de fazer parte da língua italiana ou o foram introduzidos mais tarde. Muitos casuals são utilizados para descrever as coisas novas que os viajantes encontravam e que não existiam ainda na língua italiana. Podemos comparar os casuais aos cometas, que permanecem nos céus por um curto período de tempo, iluminando e imprimindo a sua beleza, mas que logo em seguida desaparecem. A língua portuguesa tem um importante papel na constituição desse conjunto de empréstimos ocasionais, pois, ao registrar os novos elementos encontrados, os viajantes o faziam através da língua portuguesa, em fenômenos de interferência linguística, caracterizando uma aquisição inconsciente ou outras vezes, conscientemente. Para compor os corpora desta pesquisa escolhemos treze viajantes, dos séculos XVI e XVII, que estiveram em colônias e cidades existentes nas possessões ultramarinas. A seguir, selecionamos as ocorrências dos empréstimos e as analisamos à luz das teorias de Alves e Klajn. Portanto, esta pesquisa de doutorado tem por objetivo fazer um levantamento do registro do léxico casual do português na literatura dos viajantes italianos e examinar como esse léxico servia muitas vezes para dar uma cor local (GUSMANI, 1983; ALVES, 1990; APRILE, 2005) ao texto, subjugando a imaginação do leitor e expressando o desejo do viajante de tornar a sua obra imorredoura, eterna. / This research aims to record the loans of the Portuguese language in the literature of Italian travelers who had contact with the Portuguese. Zolli (1995), Zaccaria (1905, 1927) and D\'Agostino (1994) consider that the lexicon of Italian travelers is a source of loans called casuals. Or: Neologisms that have not had the opportunity to be part of the Italian language, but are used to describe the new things that travelers find - and still do not exist in their own language. We can compare the casuals to comets, which remain in the heavens for a short time, lighting up and printing-up its beauty in the skies and then disappearing. So these loans appear momentarily, but do not vanish: get eternally printed, fulfilling their function: to illuminate and give color to the text. The researchs corpora will comprise the Italian travelers, especially those of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who were in colonies and overseas possessions. Soon after, we selected occurrences of loans and analyzed in the light of theories of Alves and Klajn. Therefore, this PhD research aims to survey the record of the casual lexicon of Portuguese literature by Italian travelers and examine how this lexicon often served to give a local color (GUSMANI, 1983; ALVES, 1990; APRILE, 2005) to the text, overwhelming the reader\'s imagination and expressing the desire of the traveler make his work undying, and eternal.
