Il primo Ottocento è una stagione d’oro per viaggiare con l’immaginazione. Nelle principali città europee si moltiplicano le occasioni di intrattenimento concepite per trasportare l’osservatore in altri luoghi o, viceversa, per materializzare siti e costumi esotici davanti agli occhi degli spettatori. Nel frattempo, la geografia si impone come una scienza moderna e il gusto per il pittoresco raggiunge un pubblico ormai generalista, affamato di informazioni sul globo, sui fenomeni naturali, sulle innumerevoli varietà umane. Tra erudizione, stereotipi e consumo culturale, i processi di messa in pagina del mondo conoscono una fortuna inedita e invadono il mercato editoriale, gli spazi espositivi, la sfera politica. Il volume esplora l’intreccio di saperi, comunicazione e immaginario di viaggio attraverso quattro percorsi tematici che hanno come epicentro la Parigi romantica. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The early nineteenth century was a golden age for traveling with the imagination. In the main European cities, entertainment opportunities designed to transport the observer to other places or, vice versa, to materialize exotic sites and customs before the eyes of spectators are multiplying. In the meantime, geography established itself as a modern science and the taste for the picturesque reached a now generalist public, hungry for information on the globe, on natural phenomena, on the innumerable human varieties. Between erudition, stereotypes and cultural consumption, the processes of putting the world on the page experience unprecedented success and invade the publishing market, exhibition spaces and the political sphere. The volume explores the intertwining of knowledge, communication and travel imagery through four thematic itineraries that have romantic Paris as their epicenter.]
