Adéquations et inadéquations du découpage territorial aux contextes politiques et économiques by Christian Vandermotten

“…The United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1830), followed by the independent unitary Belgium keep this territorial pattern, replacing only the names of the former “départements” by more legitimate historical references. The evolution towards a federal structure during the last half-century prescribes re-drawings following politico-linguistic rationales, but these ones are not taking into account Brussels metropolitan and cosmopolitan developments, even if they are at the core of the Belgian economic prosperity…”

From Travel to Text: Reverends Wolff and Lansdell’s Missions to Bokhara by Irina Kantarbaeva-Bill

“…Nearly half a century separates the missions to Bokhara, centre of Islamic knowledge and culture in Central Asia, made by the two intrepid travellers and preachers Joseph Wolff (1795–1862) and Henry Lansdell (1841–1919): an important generational and geopolitical gap both in the development of the Victorian era and in the evolution of travel and travel writing. When Joseph Wolff saw Bokhara in 1843, Central Asia was at the peak of Anglo-Russian rivalry, an extremely dangerous and violent place where his two compatriots, British envoys Charles Stoddard and Arthur Conolly, lost their lives. …”
