Abstract

This paper aims at a reading of Sir Richard Francis Burton's Goa and the Blue Mountains or Six Months of Sick Leave (1851) considering how from an imperial perspective, he both constructs himself as narrator in his text and also semioticizes the Orient, in this particular case India, in a way that is meaningful to his audience back home. We will discuss not only the tale being told but also the way it is emplotted since we understand that the fictive strategies employed postulate the ideological construction of the colonizer.
