and Safroni-Middleton were Englishmen, who were born and died in England, where they wrote their travel books. Both men spent time in Australia, but their non-Australian nationalities are evident from the useful biographical Appendix Halter provides, which reveals that, beneath their Australian disguise, many of Halter’s travelling white men and women were actually English, or Scots or Irish, or simply of ‘unknown background’. That is the real historical circumstance of Pacific travellers, of course, but it does somewhat undercut Halter’s pursuit of the authentically and distinctively Australian perspective on the South Seas. Halter is more a cultural-historian than a literary-historian, although he is perforce and dutifully both, and his chapters survey and document many depictions of the islanders and their white visitors. As he demonstrates, Australian religious, commercial and political concerns shaped the Australian national relationship with the islands. The Australian steamship and trading company Burns Philp opened many island shops. The Australian missions (Anglican, Presbyterian and even Catholic) added their (competing) strengths to the English, Scots and French evangelical forces. Meanwhile, the tourism competition took shape between the rival Edenic islands. ‘Tahiti is special’, according to an advertisement. ‘The Tahitians make sure it will always be so. They want their island to be truly Polynesian. They won’t worry if Tahiti gets less tourists than Hawaii. They will reserve Tahiti for the connoisseurs who will enjoy their wide sandy beaches ...with a special possessive pleasure. Discover Tahiti!’ Tahiti not Hawaii, that is. An accompanying photograph of a garlanded, grass-skirted, dancing island girl illustrates the ‘special possessive pleasure’ that awaits the tourists who will follow the eighteenth and nineteenthcentury travellers – and ‘discover’ Tahiti. The wide range of travellers and the variety of writings Halter has surveyed provide ample and credible evidence of the historical and cultural concerns of the Australian nation as it formed its own national identity while criss-crossing the South Sea islands. His Australian Travellers in the South Seas does succeed in demarcating a distinctively Australian relation to the Pacific Islands, although not all his travellers – some of them Anglo-Australian, some cosmopolitan men and women of the world – were actually Australian. They were international in their backgrounds as well as in their voyaging. His travel writers were also readers, of course, and they read internationally – the writings of American Melville and Scottish Stevenson, for example, who had already seen and imagined those factual and fictional islands.

ABSTRACT This article examines the aesthetic motivation behind the inception of tourism in the mountains. Aesthetic motives played a key role in the development of tourism in the Alps, which in the eighteenth century became a new, ideal type of landscape and a popular destination for artists and scientists, and later for tourists too. What form did this phenomenon take in a different geographical and cultural context? What were its dynamics and specific features? The article traces these motives by analysing texts on the Giant Mountains (Riesengebirge, Krkonoše, Karkonosze), which became a favourite destination for tourists from the German states and the Austrian Empire. At the time these mountains were compared with the Alps, and this article aims to analyse the parallels and differences between the aesthetic appreciation of the Alps and of the Giant Mountains. Together with scientific interest, aesthetic concerns also played an important role in the inception of tourism here. We can see a reflection of contemporary theories of the Sublime and the Picturesque, as well as the ascent of romanticism. The article works with sources from the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, supplementing them with a summary of subsequent developments in the twentieth century.

ABSTRACT This article examines 1985's Isle of Man Year of Sport, an attempt by political leadership in the British crown dependency to host and create a series of sporting events which would serve as a platform to help reverse the dramatic decline of UK and Irish holidaymakers. To Manx parliamentarians and policymakers, sport provided a logical starting point for attracting tourists due to the island’s association with the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) motorcycle road races, even though holding a Commonwealth Games in the island – a desired option – was considered unfeasible. The Isle of Man Government was additionally pursuing a strategy of themed ‘years’ to provide events to stimulate tourism. The Year of Sport’s events included the Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships, the Isle of Man Special Olympics, and academic conferences. Its longest lasting contribution to sport, however, has been the first Island Games (known here as the Inter-Island Games), held every two years since (with the exception of 2021) in small-island polities/‘nations’ on the Atlantic Rim. The Year of Sport was reflective of both small-island politics and of an emerging (if debatable) consensus in tourism and sport management circles about the tourism legacies, inclusive of soft power, of sporting events.

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.
