Dyskursy podróżnicze obfitują w różnego rodzaju anegdoty. Zdaniem Stephena Greenblatta pośredniczą one pomiędzy sekwencją podobnych do siebie chwil, a ogólniejszym schematem, na którego istnienie wskazują. Niniejsza analiza dowodzi, że anegdota zawarta w dzienniku podróży Passenger to Teheran Vity Sackville-West (1926) stanowi nie tyle odosobniony przypadek, ile wpisuje się w szersze ramy strategii dotyczących reprezentacji podróży. Vita Sackville-West odbyła podróż z Londynu do Egiptu, Indii, Persji, a następnie wróciła do Anglii przez Rosję, Polskę i Prusy. Autor szczegółowo analizuje tę część relacji, kiedy podróżni zostali zatrzymani na polsko-pruskiej granicy i zmuszeni do opuszczenia pociągu. Konsekwencje tego, co mogłoby być wyłącznie anegdotą o „nieprzyjemnym incydencie”, są dalekosiężne. Do zajść granicznych dochodzi bowiem zawsze na tle rzeczywistości społeczno-politycznej, geopolitycznej, militarnej i ideologicznej. Bez względu na to, czy tego typu wydarzenia przedstawia się jako przygody czy poważne incydenty, mają one konsekwencje wykraczające poza „lokalny moment”. Celem eseju jest ukazanie niektórych mniej oczywistych implikacji polsko-pruskiego fragmentu książki Vity Sackville-West.

Travellers’ discourses thrive on anecdotes. According to Stephen Greenblatt, they interpose between a series of similar, narrow experiences and a wider pattern they may indicate. This analysis deciphers how an anecdote from Passenger to Teheran (1926), the travelogue written by Vita Sackville-West, is not just an isolated flash but can indicate larger representational strategies. In her epic journey Vita Sackville-West travelled from London to Egypt, India, Persia, and then back to England, through Russia, Poland and Prussia; by boat, train and car. In the episode which is subject to a detailed analysis, the travellers were stopped at the Polish–East Prussian border and forced to leave the train. The consequences of what could be just an anecdote about an “unwelcome incident”, reverberate – as it turns out – far beyond the incidental because what is at stake at almost every border incident is a socio–political, geo–political, military and ideological reality. No matter whether such events are presented as adventures or in all seriousness, each border trouble has consequences beyond any “local moment”. To disclose some of the less obvious implications of the Polish–Prussian passage in Vita Sackville-West’s book is the aim of this essay.

Zbigniew Białas Fat: Fat[e]s and Fa[c]ts   Summary Fat is seen in most travel literature as inspirational towards sloth, idleness and inertia. It is frequently linked to the discourse of gluttonous excess. The essay - a reconaissance into a potentially huge, uncharted territory of aesthe­tics - signals several complex relations between the traveller and the representations of fat. Presented here under several emblematic guises (body fat, fat on the the surface of the body, protective grease, etc) fat is analysed, all in all, as a convenient representational tool, not only for constructing disgust.

Zbigniew Białas Capt.Lewis'Razor On the basis of chosen travel narratives (mainly Alexander von Humboldt's Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of the New Continent During the Years 1799 -1804 and The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition) the author anatomises the somatics of travel writing, looks into textual and extra-textual evidence and argues, remembering the etymology of the word "e/motion," that - compulsive travelling is a "moving" manife­station of death-wish.
