        Abstract
        This comparative study examines Orientalist discourse through a wide range of mountain representation from the Canadian Rockies and Austrian Alps, including exploration reports, newspaper articles, promotional documents, governmental records, mountaineering reports, guidebooks, travel diaries, letters, poems, novels, and TV series. Tracing Orientalist and colonial legacies in the project of mountain travel across times, genres, and geographies, Müller examines the ways in which Orientalism is evidenced in mountain writing from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries and deployed by contemporary authors in critical rewritings. Rewriting Alpine Orientalism presents a framework capable of analysing and critiquing particular colonial codifications written onto mountains and the interventions that rewrite mountain tourism.
         
        Rewriting Alpine Orientalism verbindet das Forschungsfeld der postkolonialen Studien mit dem der Tourismusforschung und Bergwissenschaften, um zu erforschen, wie die Bedeutung von Bergen im globalen Kontext des Bergtourismus formuliert, erzeugt, behauptet und angefochten wird. Dabei wird neben zahlreichen neuen Perspektiven auf den Berg auch ein entscheidender Theorietransfer unternommen, welcher postkoloniale Theoreme von heißen, außereuropäischen und niedergelegenen Regionen in kalte, hochgelegene und sogar innereuropäische Schauplätze überführt. Der Fokus der Studie liegt auf den kanadischen Rocky Mountains und den österreichischen Alpen und umfasst Literatur des 19., 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts.
