Abstract

The main aim of this article is to analyse experiences associated with steamship mobilities in the years 1869–1891, with focus on voyages to and from Asia via the Suez Canal. The source base includes lesser-known texts written by Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Indian authors that are examined using a twofold approach. The first is focused on the macroscale, scrutinising the networks in which travellers functioned, including other communication technologies and imperial webs. The second is focused on the microscale, on bodily experiences of travellers: how did they characterize their bodily position on board of the ship and factors which influenced it, as well as how did they describe their sensuous impressions.

网络中的身体:1869-1891年欧洲和亚洲之间的蒸汽船移动和旅行

本文的主要目的是分析 1869-1891 年间与蒸汽船流动有关的经历，重点是通过苏伊士运河往返亚洲的航程。资料来源包括波兰、俄罗斯、塞尔维亚和印度作者撰写的鲜为人知的文本，本文采用双重方法对这些文本进行研究。第一种方法侧重于宏观层面，仔细研究旅行者所处的网络，包括其他通信技术和帝国网络。第二种方法侧重于微观层面，研究旅行者的身体体验：他们如何描述自己在船上的身体状况和影响这种状况的因素，以及他们如何描述自己的感官印象。

期刊介绍： Mobilities examines both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public and private spaces, and the travel of material things in everyday life. Recent developments in transportation and communications infrastructures, along with new social and cultural practices of mobility, present new challenges for the coordination and governance of mobilities and for the protection of mobility rights and access. This has elicited many new research methods and theories relevant for understanding the connections between diverse mobilities and immobilities.
