Abstract
The contrast between the two fundamental concepts of 'self' and 'other' is one of the most important fields of cultural studies in the present age. By providing an appropriate context for more and more accurate recognition of nations, they can also provide the basis for positive and constructive interaction between nations. This earlier literature study, known as pictorial knowledge, was first developed in the works of French thinkers in the early 19th century and later expanded and deepened by the scientific efforts of people like Freud, Derrida and Bakhtin. Travel literature, by its very nature, can be one of the most suitable contexts for such studies. The present study, through a descriptive-analytical method, studied three pilgrimages from the years 1349-1499 due to the historical significance of this period and concluded that the Muslim and the Arab self are the most prominent manifestations of their concept. The order is in contrast to another West and another Turk.
