Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the travels of Cristoforo Buondelmonti and Ciriaco d'Ancona to the Greek lands in the early fifteenth-century eastern Mediterranean.Drawing on post-colonial studies' frameworks, such as travel writing and imaginative geographies, this volume offers an innovative examination of colonial discursive and cultural practices within the Latin dominions in the Greek lands. It sheds light on their contributions to the conceptualisation of both the 'Italian metropolitan' space and the 'Greek' identity of the colonised. This volume investigates how Cristoforo's and Ciriaco's travel narratives utilised conceptual tools and representation systems of early humanism to support Latin political and economic interests in the eastern Mediterranean. It delves into the imaginative geographies of Venetian Crete, the islands of the archipelago, Constantinople, the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea, and portrayals of the Ottomans as constructed by the two travelers, offering insights into the interaction of Latin humanistic and colonial discourses and the agency of travellers in shaping the colonial space.The book will be of value to scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students across various research fields, including Renaissance and postcolonial studies, travel literature, Latin dominions in the Aegean, Byzantine and Ottoman histories.…

Hardback, Pages: x + 398, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 10 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503619651. Summary Travel and mobility for political, military, economic, religious, and intellectual purposes were crucial in shaping the medieval eastern Mediterranean through the interaction of travellers with the diverse cultures of the region (Latin, Muslim, Byzantine, etc.). This volume aims to shed light on the agency of travellers to create politics, space, and cultural memory in the period c. 1300 to c. 1500, an era in which transcultural contact in the eastern Mediterranean world was reshaped through developments such as the Ottoman expansion, while new conceptual tools of the Renaissance period allowed both individuals and communities to be perceived and described in different ways. Bringing together case-studies of travel accounts and other relevant texts by authors with differing backgrounds and wide-ranging life experiences, this volume aims to shed light on this aspect of cultural history through the exploration of four key themes: individuality and the shaping of the self as traveller and author; the production of space, in particular via critical engagement with the modern analytical tools of orientalism and colonialism in medieval studies; the intersections of these themes with the activities of pilgrims and merchants; and the way in which travellers and their narratives interacted with both their own and foreign communities. This approach offers fresh insights in our understanding of mobility, identity, and cultural interaction in the late medieval eastern Mediterranean.
