Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Travelers have always experimented with disguise while observing the disguises of others. Each of the chapters in Mobility and Masks illustrates the strategies of concealment in the experience of travel: a seventeenth-century German aristocrat discovers new freedom as she travels incognito, Jesuits write home from China in the eighteenth century about how costume changes serve their mission, a Chinese opera star reflects on his own masked art during a tour of Russia in 1935. Masking can be a racial marker, as shown in two nineteenth-century accounts: an English woman encountering the creole culture of the West Indies and a French woman observing how cosmetic beauty is defined in Shanghai. Fictional representations of the masked traveler are illustrative, too: masked voices in the lyric poetry of Horace, the masked woman as an obstacle in classic adventure tales, the failure of cultural masking in the story of a modern immigrant. Travelers have always experimented with disguise while observing the disguises of others. Each of the chapters in Mobility and Masks illustrates strategies of concealment in travel, from Jesuits in Asia to women traveling incognito to a Chinese opera star in Russia to the racial implications of masking in the West Indies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780674295803
