ABSTRACT The essay juxtaposes, as in a poetic metaphor, Czech sea voyages to Southeast Asia in the late colonial era, as described in the travellers’ writings, and the author’s recent voyage on a container ship from Rotterdam to Singapore. A reflection on sea travel and an experiment in historical research, it is an account of accessing the past through the experience of a voyage. The essay reflects on size, speed, time, and modernity; on containers, classes, nations, colonies, and empires, past and present. How can our present journeys help us grasp the experiences of past travellers, as well as our relationship with them, our nearness and our distance? How can old travelogues enrich our perception of present-day travel, shipping, and colonialisms? How do present, past and future overflow into each other, on the fluid borders between physical, economic and industrial reality and narrative/poetic imagination? How is containerisation, whose (pre)history this essay traces, part of our ‘knowledge production’? The essay performs these questions with a Czech accent that reflects a specific historical situation and the self-image of a variously colonised European people who navigate(d) in particular, often clownishly improper ways, in the world of colonies and empires, old and new.

ABSTRACT This article considers the role of ‘Alpine’ mobilities and physicalities in the pursuit of colonial territoriality in Morocco under the French Protectorate. It focuses on the development of alpinisme (mountaineering) and sports d’hiver (winter sports) as variants of tourisme en montagne (mountain tourism) in the Haut-Atlas Mountains, the highest altitude point of ‘Greater France’. Amidst what was a protracted situation of unsettled sovereignty in the Atlas Mountains, interwar alpinists embodied movement and authority at the outer limits of French territorial knowledge and control, in what was transitional civil–military space. By the later 1930s, the aims of équipement de la montagne (outfitting the mountain), and of securing mountain mobility and physicality came more to the fore of French interventions. Marshalling of the high mountain for political and economic ends intensified during the Vichy period and after, though the aspiration to fuller European movement and physicality at high altitude continued into the later Protectorate to run aground of limitation and contingency. These evolving forms, meanings and investments around movement on the high altitude periphery of the Haut-Atlas show a close intersection of Alpine and colonial imaginaries, and provide a window onto the larger arc of France’s (failed) colonial reordering of Moroccan territory.

ABSTRACT This article examines the rise in popularity of hunting tourism in the Yukon Territory, Canada from 1910 to 1940 with particular attention to the ways in which hunting tourism intersected with wildlife regulation and colonisation. As sport hunting became more profitable, proponents both within and outside of the Yukon argued for increased wildlife regulation and the adoption of a North American conservation ethic. In 1920 the Yukon Territorial Government significantly amended the Yukon Game Ordinance in ways that created significant impacts on Indigenous ways of life. Changes to Game Ordinance regulations, influenced by colonial ideologies about wildlife, economically disadvantaged Yukon First Nations and threatened to undermine their subsistence lifestyles. Throughout this period, sport hunters, big game guides and outfitters, government officials, First Nations, and colonial agents all debated the purpose of conservation and the lived realities of wildlife regulation. This Yukon history of hunting tourism fits within broader histories at the intersection of tourism, conservation, and colonisation and demonstrates the ways that colonial ideologies about wildlife and conservation have favoured recreational uses of the natural world while undercutting Indigenous subsistence and market hunting and, in the Yukon, pushed First Nations to the margins of this new tourism economy.

ABSTRACT Since its foundation in the early 1920s, Northern Ireland remains a difficult tourist destination to promote, despite clear similarities to its neighbours in climate and attractions. Tourism has however played a key role in state-building and image-shaping in Northern Ireland, being used to showcase the region’s modernity but also borrowing from contested images of rural Ireland. The activities and advertising of the Ulster Tourist Development Association (UTDA), a voluntary, government-backed organisation which promoted tourism in the early years of the new statelet, can cast a light on the politics of the troubled region, and help us understand the power of tourist media in shaping public discourse and eliciting public debate on a wide number of issues connected to identity, development, and dependency. The UTDA and its members show us some of the ways in which Northern Ireland navigated modernity in the first twenty years of existence through tourism, as well as highlighting the importance of personalities and local elites in its development and culture.

ABSTRACT The former Czechoslovak ČEDOK Travel Bureau was a prominent institutional protagonist, a semi-state representative, and a symbolic flagship of Czechoslovak state-socialist tourism during the whole Cold War period, especially in the so-called golden age of Czechoslovak state-socialist tourism between 1968 and 1989. The article tries to describe the main contours of the macro- and micro-history of two selected parts/communities of the company – ČEDOK’s branches abroad in Eastern and Western countries and tour guides. These actors were not only responsible for an essential part of the company’s total revenues, but they were also very visible brand faces towards the public. Last but not least, they remain unknown protagonists in contemporary tourism historiography. The article aims to re-think the role played by the tourism sector (or even the tourism industry) in state-socialist regimes of the former Eastern Bloc.

ABSTRACT During the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 multiple commissions were dispatched to manage the birth of the post-First World War order across central and eastern Europe. Examining the two commissions which managed the dispute over the former Habsburg Duchy of Teschen, Silesia, from the perspective of the Hotel Brauner Hirsch where they resided, this article examines the connections between diplomacy, tourism, geopolitics, and the hotel. While their hotel provided a place of work and security, its social function as a site of entertainment and enjoyment often interfered with the commissions’ diplomatic functions. Meanwhile, the real and perceived behaviour of the members of these bodies within the hotel, as well as the potential dislocation caused by their presence in the region, made their hotel a complicating factor in their diplomacy.
