Laurent Vogel (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)) "Dépaysements" by Robert de Traz is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on the process and emotions associated with traveling and the concept of displacement, while observing contemporary Europe post-World War I through the eyes of the author. Central to the narrative is the author’s exploration of identity and cultural relativism as he traverses various locations, particularly Vienna and Hungary, during a time of political and social upheaval. The opening of "Dépaysements" sets the tone with a reflection on travel, identity, and the impact of geographical displacement on the human psyche. The author, driven by an insatiable curiosity, describes the apprehension and exhilaration that accompany departure from one's familiar surroundings. He contemplates the psychological transformation that occurs during travel, asserting that each movement alters one's very essence. As he arrives in Vienna, he begins to juxtapose the city’s past grandeur with its current state of melancholy and decline following the war, noting how the historical context shapes the identities of the people he encounters. The narrative delves into themes of nostalgia and hope, suggesting that while the author discovers sorrow among the Viennese, there is also a persistent desire for revival and understanding amidst the complex socio-political landscape of early 20th-century Europe.
