Abstract
Abstract. Travel writing, a subgenre of literature, depicts a writer's journey in visiting unfamiliar places. The author experienced negotiation between himself and the others about similarities or differences. In the travel writing, a reality is a reference emphasized the most, rather than mere imagination or fiction. This study aims to examine the representation of travel writing in Un Métier de Rêve by Gabriel García Márquez and to uncover the influence of the narrator's personal perspective (the self) on his view of Europeans (the others). The story in short story Un Métier de Rêve is one of Gabriel García Márquez's travel stories included in Douze Contes Vagabonds. This type of research is descriptive-analytic research using literature studies. The data collection technique involves reading, noting, and sorting. In analyzing the data, which includes words, phrases, dialogues, monologues, feelings, and behavior of the characters, the researcher conducted data interpretation by proving or debating a matter through valid evidence using Carl Thompson's travel writing theory, which consists of three concepts, namely: Reporting the World, Revealing the Self, and Representing the Other. The results of the study on Gabriel García Márquez's Un Métier de Rêve show that Márquez seeks to portray the world he encountered rationally and objectively, even the subjective element found in the short story still appears to be objective. As a result, there is an ambiguity found that is uncovered due to the contestation between fact and fiction in travel writing. In addition, the influence of the ideology of the former colonial state apparently provides a particular emphasis on Márquez's strategy in writing his travel stories.

加布里埃尔García Márquez的《unmsamtier De Rêve》中旅行写作的表现:卡尔·汤普森的旅行写作研究
摘要旅行写作是文学的一个分支,它描绘了一个作家在陌生地方的旅行。作者经历了自己和他人之间关于相似或不同之处的谈判。在旅行写作中,现实是最受重视的参考,而不仅仅是想象或虚构。本研究旨在考察加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯(Gabriel García Márquez)在《Un Métier de Rêve》中旅行写作的表现,并揭示叙述者的个人视角(自我)对他对欧洲人(他人)的看法的影响。短篇小说《Un Métier de Rêve》中的故事是加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的旅行故事之一,收录在《Douze Contes Vagabonds》中。这种类型的研究是使用文献研究的描述性分析研究。数据收集技术包括读取、注释和排序。在分析包括单词、短语、对话、独白、感受和人物行为在内的数据时,研究人员利用卡尔·汤普森的旅行写作理论,通过有效证据证明或辩论一件事,进行了数据解读。旅行写作理论由三个概念组成,即:报告世界、揭示自我和代表他人。对加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的《Un Métier de Rêve》的研究结果表明,马尔克斯试图理性客观地描绘他所遇到的世界,即使短篇小说中的主观元素似乎仍然是客观的。因此,在旅行写作中,由于事实与虚构之间的争论,发现了一种模糊性。此外,前殖民国家意识形态的影响显然特别强调了马尔克斯在写旅行故事时的策略。关键词:Gabriel García Márquez,旅行写作,文学
