جدل الأدب و التاريخ في محكيات الرحلة

Abstract EN

The controversy of literature and history in the travel narrativesTwo Poles govern travel; A cognitive and an artistic pole.

The cognitive ranges between the material and the intellectual, which is the traveler's sum of acquired and cultural during his journey to achieve a spirit of life based on evolution and benefits.

The Second pole, which is the artistic pole, which, although it appears marginal, it represents the peak of human activity and a ritual of its cultural rituals forged as a spirit that applies in the veins of his consciousness, which is the spirit of stories, news and tales.

There is no doubt that travel is these two poles together; it is the human mood that at some times surfaces subjectivity and other times objectivity, so it comes short.

So, the travel literary and historical criterion varies between self and objectivity, and this is the focus of the controversy between literary and historical in various travel texts.
