| Research Abstract |
Contacts with different cultures increased and deepened in 19th century France. The purpose of this project is to show how 《others》 were described in literary works of this period, especially in the novels and in the accounts of journeys. Whereas we contented ourselves with forming a simple perspective for the second half of the century, when theories on 《others》 had spread, we could get many results from the first half of the century, especially from writers such as Chateaubriand, Nerval, Flaubert and Potocki, as some of their writings were directly inspired from their personal travelling experiences.
