Journeys in kitchens: Travel writing and the possibilities of new encounters with women, food and domestic life in Islamic cultures

Reilly, Fiona Jane (2019) Journeys in kitchens: Travel writing and the possibilities of new encounters with women, food and domestic life in Islamic cultures. Masters by Research by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

In European travel literature, interiors and domestic spaces have received little critical attention. This practice-led study explores the nature of writing about domestic encounters and domestic spaces used by two female travel writers, Freya Stark (1893-1993) and Ella Maillart (1903-1997). Their works suggest the possibility of an alternative relationship between author and subject, with a point of view permitting the observation of rich ethnographic details and attention to everyday life and everyday women. The study includes a work of creative non-fiction based on travels in kitchens in Iran and far west China.
