Katrina OʼLoughlin, Ana Šverko, and Elke Katarina. Wittich (eds.) Discovering Dalmatia: Dalmatia in Travelogues, Images and Photographs

In late 2019, the Institute of Art History published "Discovering Dalmatia: Dalmatia in Travelogues, Images and Photographs". This book brings together twelve papers that originated at the conferences that have been held in Split since 2015 as part of the Grand Tour Dalmatia project (http://grandtourdalmatia.org), and is the second publication to emerge from this project. By focusing on the study of the (historical) Croatian region of Dalmatia, as a Grand Tour destination from the 17th to the mid-20th century in travel writings (manuscripts, printed books, letters), images and photographs, a framework has been developed for considering the wider socio-political context on the European level – the dichotomy between the center and the periphery, the history and development of monument preservation, the politics of presentation and representation and the exoticizing of the Balkan Peninsula, which shaped generations of European intellectuals (and others from further afield as well).
