(c2011)From Adonis to the association of tourist writersItani, Suha MustaphaTravel writing -- History and criticismThubron, Colin -- 1939- -- Hills of AdonisIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 100-102).Travel writing is an ancient and broad genre of literature, and an important subject in the humanities and social sciences. It has provided cultural, historical, religious, philosophical, political, even environmental debates, and its study has become a fruitful academic enterprise. It is also a genre that is in constant flux, depending first, on the cultures, places, and people that the traveller investigates and chooses to write about, and second, on the aims of the interpreting community. This thesis mainly argues that travel literature reflects the shift in Lebanon’s reason of existence as a traveller’s destination: before the civil war, spiritual and cultural interest dominated, and after the war, business and tourism. Three major travel books on Lebanon in the 20th and the 21st centuries that are discussed are The Hills of Adonis: A Quest in Lebanon by Colin Thubron (1968; 2008); Hibat al-Jabal: Rihla ila Lubnan (2004) (The Mountain’s Gift: A Travel to Lebanon) by Ahmad Haridi; and Beirut Shi Mahal (2006) (Beirut Some Place) by Youssef Rakha. These three books demonstrate how the discourse of a strong and peaceful past conflicts with the discourse of a weak and disturbed present, as the writers, unknown to each other, anticipate or come to terms with the civil war. Theoretical insights provided by Mieke Bal’s work on narratology and Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope are used to examine the hidden layers of the texts and analyze their several meanings as affecting the writers’ intention in narrating and the reader’s role in interpreting.1 bound copy: ix, 103 leaves; facsims; 31 cm. available at RNL.Lebanese American University2011-12-01T08:39:49Z2011-12-01T08:39:49Z20112011-12-012011-06-14Thesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttp://hdl.handle.net/10725/1038https://doi.org/10.26756/th.2011.38eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:laur.lau.edu.lb:10725/10382020-05-18T14:53:48Z |
