We tend to think about other cultures as entities constructed along the the same lines of thought as our own. By means of cultural discourse analysis, this seminar opens windows into the working of the mind behind historical actors and explores some episodes in the development of thinking about other cultures and the place of the person in European intellectual tradition by the close reading of early and visionary forms of travel literature, utopias, topographical and literary works.

Readings include extracts from the Land of Cockaigne, the works of Sir John Mandeville, Thomas More, Francis Bacon, James Harrington, Richard Hakluyt, James Cook, William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, Sándor Bölöni Farkas, Aldous Huxley, E.M. Forster and Jack Kerouac.
