Abstract

This paper discusses an important issue in travel literature and reveals the contents of the travel discourse from an anthropological point of view.  In its first section, the dialectic of self-awareness and place. In addition, this paper revealed the development of travel writing awareness, and represented the author's attitude towards those places he visited. As for the second section, the paper dealt with the subject of literary formations and anthropology issues. The Traveler is distinguished by a keen awareness of the dimensions of writing and revealed the status of travel discourse in the anthropological narrative imagination, as the author was able to immerse in other people's culture, adapt his discourse to the process of narration and presentation, and express the fragmentation of the other's identity. As for the third section, it expresses the writing reality and the reality writing. In this way Al-Mohaimeed sought to convey the many experiences and situations he lived through on his travels, and to trace the paths leading to the writing adventure in search of literary attractions, constantly oscillating between them and the anthropological field and issues of knowledge of the other.
