(syllabus)
The course deals with the relations between Europeans and travel in the modern age. It aims at offering a critical approach to the phenomenon of travel, considered as crucial for the advance of European societies. Students are offered general knowledge and are given specific reference points in order to conduct more precise research in the field of travel history and odeporics. The theoretical approach of the presented topics is complemented with a methodological analysis of various types of sources, travel stories and guidebooks, arts related to travel, geographical maps and historical descriptions, lists and registers for the surveillance of travelling foreigners. Travel-related occurrences will be examined from the point of view of female travel conditions. Topics in the syllabus will be taught through video lessons, resources and activities (including interactive ones) that will be available to students on the Moodle platform.
