ABSTRACT

The article analyses the visions of the East which appear in some ‘popular’ illustrated journals in Milan during the second half of the 19th century, published by Emilio Treves and Edoardo Sonzogno. The accounts by male and female intellectuals, historians, diplomats, explorers, geographers and scientists, allow us to reconstruct an important dimension in the circulation of knowledge to what was a fairly wide reading public. These accounts reflect the political and cultural climate, characterised by the development of the geographical societies, cultural colonialism and so on. Lastly, they offer a window onto the cultural politics of these initiatives which, by harking back to the experience of the French illustrated journals,exploited developments in print technology to enrich the stories with compelling images.

摘要

本文分析了19世纪下半叶在米兰一些“受欢迎的”有插图的期刊中出现的东方愿景，这些期刊由Emilio Treves和Edoardo Sonzogno出版。男性和女性知识分子，历史学家，外交官，探险家，地理学家和科学家的叙述，使我们能够重构知识传播到一个相当广泛的公众手中的重要维度。这些说明反映了政治和文化气候，其特征是地理社会的发展，文化殖民主义等。最后，它们提供了这些倡议的文化政治的窗口，这些倡议通过追溯法国插图杂志的经验，利用印刷技术的发展，以引人入胜的图像丰富了故事。
