Verorten und vertexten - Die Vielfalt von Reiseliteratur

In the organizer's words:

The diversity of travel literature before and after 1824

Traveling is more than just moving from one place to another. Travel always also means knowledge that shapes an individual and that should not disappear again. This is why people write reports during or after their journey - often for themselves, but usually also for their contemporaries or those who come after them - to record their experiences in writing or in pictures. Over the centuries, this has resulted in a diverse "travel literature" that is still waiting to be discovered in the archives today.

In his lecture, the Germanist and art historian PD Dr. Andreas Keller will present a small selection of interesting examples from before and after Heinrich Heine's "Harzreise" and show what professional "travel research" has to deal with. Andreas Keller is a private lecturer at the University of Potsdam and works on a variety of literary topics. He is currently involved as publisher and editor in the transdisciplinary handbook project "Reisen. Mobilities - Spaces - Media".
