CESTOPIS – PROSTRIEDOK INTERDISCIPLINÁRNEHO VZDELÁVANIA?

The paper analyses the travelogue genre and verifies its suitability in education after the planned curricular reform. This is illustrated by the travelogue Z cestovního denníka záletu z Vídne do Benátek [From the Travel Diary of a Journey from Vienna to Venice], in which Kuzmány describes his experiences on a trip to Italy. Emphasis is placed on how nature, climate and other landscape features are reflected in the author-traveller‘s countryside image. In addition to exploring the text-formation mechanisms and the description of natural, cultural and social realities, the paper reveals the relationship between the reality depicted and the landscape visited. Thus, in the context of the contemporary atmosphere and cultural events, the proposed work not only conceives the form of the travelogue genre in the 19th century but also reflects on the possibilities of its use in various natural or social science-oriented subjects (in addition to Slovak language and literature, in history, geography and religious education). This is also reflected in the structure of the analysis of the selected travelogue.
