This volume focuses on how travel writing contributed to cultural and intellectual exchange in and between the Dutch- and German-speaking regions from the 1790s to the twentieth-century interwar period. Drawing on a hitherto largely overlooked body of travelers whose work ranges across what is now Germany and Austria, the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium, the Dutch East Indies and Suriname, the contributors highlight the interrelations between the regional and the global and the role alterity plays in both spheres. They therefore offer a transnational and transcultural perspective on the ways in which the foreign was mediated to audiences back home. By combining a narrative perspective on travel writing with a socio-historically contextualized approach, essays emphasize the importance of textuality in travel literature as well as the self-positioning of such accounts in their individual historical and political environments. The first sustained analysis to focus specifically on these neighboring cultural and linguistic areas, this collection demonstrates how topographies of knowledge were forged across these regions by an astonishingly diverse range of travelling individuals from professional scholars and writers to art dealers, soldiers, (female) explorers, and scientific collectors. The contributors address cultural, aesthetic, political, and gendered aspects of travel writing, drawing productively on other disciplines and areas of scholarly research that encompass German Studies, Low Countries Studies, comparative literature, aesthetics, the history of science, literary geography, and the history of publishing.

Recensement ordonné par Philippe II:0En 1597, Philippe II, dans sa volonté de pouvoir loger le personnel de la cour, ordonna à son fourrier ? son aposentador mayor, Benoît Charreton, seigneur de Chassey ? d'effectuer un recensement des édifices bruxellois afin de déterminer les maisons aptes à pouvoir accueillir ces personnes.00Le Seigneur de Chassey:0Le Sieur de Chassey, originaire de Franche Comté, qui avait occupé au préalable de hautes fonctions, était précédé d'une fâcheuse réputation qui le mena en prison au Treurenberg et à Malines. Mais Philippe II, qui le tenait en estime pour service rendu, le fit libérer et lui confia cette mission dont il s?acquitta remarquablement, en compagnie d'un représentant de la ville.00Les maisons et édifices bruxellois?:0Ainsi, du 1er décembre 1597 à la fin mars 1598, il visita,?rue par rue, les diverses maisons bruxelloises en compagnie d'un représentant de la ville. Ils notèrent avec minutie pour les édifices concernés : le nombre de pièces par maison, en les localisant par niveau (rez-de-chaussée, étages), leur mode éventuel de chauffage (poêle, âtre), leur fonction (cuisine, comptoir, boutique, sallette), et la présence rarissime de cabinets d'aisances.00?et leur propriétaire:0À côté de ces données techniques, les noms des propriétaires, locataires et souvent leur profession, sont renseignés, de même que l'enseigne de la demeure. À cela s?ajoutent les noms des bénéficiaires des logements, souvent des Espagnols.0C?est dire que les dizaines de milliers de données que renferme ce manuscrit de 652 pages présentent un portrait inégalé de Bruxelles à l'extrême fin du XVIe siècle.
