Sažetak
This paper problematizes, from an ethnographic perspective, the
temporal aspects of Eastern Adriatic travelogues published in the
first half of the 20th century. By employing the concept of ‘time routes,’
the author analyzes diverse temporal fragments emerging along the
itineraries of travel writers such as Maude Holbach, Alice Lee Moqué,
Frances Kinsley Hutchinson, and Rebecca West. Their descriptions
of local cultures and specific locations in the Eastern Adriatic
open a debate about the shifting boundaries between the West and
the East and between the past, present, and future. Furthermore, the
predominantly spatial aspect of travelogues is supplemented by an
analysis of diverse non-linear temporal modalities and phenomena,
such as anticipation, expectations, idleness, boredom, timelessness,
and waiting. The paper explores the spatiotemporally fluid nature of
‘time routes’ in representations of the Eastern Adriatic and how they
discursively constitute heterogeneous temporal regimes and practices.
The emergence of diverse temporal modalities is examined within
the broader, at times overlapping, context of the Mediterranean and
Southeastern European regions, raising the question of how Western
ideas of linear progress are entangled with processes of temporal
othering.
