Abstract
Chronicling the dynamics of emplacement throughout her voyage to and from the Levant, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s epistolary account known as The Turkish Embassy Letters provides chorographic descriptions of the places she immersed herself in or travelled by. This paper examines the entwinements of memory and oblivion in two key sections of her homecoming periplum, detailing the symptoms of placelessness and dis/remembrance she experiences in Constantinople–the Turkish utopia turned Babelian heterotopia qua atopia– and the hypermnesiac project of re-emplacement in Europeanness through an activation of the archive of cultural psychogeographies accommodated by the Mediterranean.
