The spread of modern transport technologies such as the steamship, railways, and aeroplane in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries both drove and was driven by imperial expansion. Drawing people, territories, and markets into ever closer asymmetrical relationships of power, global travel in the age of modern imperialism also increasingly commodified the world for metropolitan consumption through the use of new representational technologies, photography and the colonial exhibition foremost amongst them. This seminar will consider the impact of these twin revolutions in travel history, one visual and the other logistical, by looking at four different contexts: Orientalist photography in the Ottoman Empire, colonised peoples on display in Britain, Japanese railway imperialism in East Asia, and the introduction of air travel in colonial Sudan.
