Gender Companionship and Travel Discourses in Pre-modern and Modern Travel Literature

Gender Companionship and Travel Discourses in Pre-modern and Modern Travel Literature

Over the last couple of decades there has been a strong academic interest in how individuals interact with each other while en route. Yet even if various studies have informed us about present-day realities of travel companionships we know little about the influence of gender both on these realities as well as on the discourse in which these are being narrated. This book aims to establish an agenda for the study of companionship in travel writing by offering a collection of new essays which study texts that belong to the broad category of pre-modern and modern travel literature. Chapters explore the differences and similarities in the ways that women and men in the past chose to describe their experiences with and/or their ideas about companionship and specifically reveals the influence of gender norms conventions restrictions and stereotypes. This is the first book which looks at the long-term interdisciplinary and genuinely international history of gendered discourses on companionship in travel writing. It will be of interest to scholars and students from a wide variety of disciplines including cultural and social history as well as cultural literary gender travel and tourism studies. | Gender Companionship and Travel Discourses in Pre-modern and Modern Travel Literature

Travel Journalism Informing Tourists in the Digital Age

Travel Journalism Informing Tourists in the Digital Age

In the last decade with the success of review sites and online commentaries and the increased accessibility of travel information online the job of a traditional travel journalist is being challenged. Travel Journalism closely examines the impact of digital media and technology on this specialist area of journalism and how professionals working in travel media today are adapting to it. Bryan Pirolli draws on a wealth of professional experience to present both practical guidance and a theoretical analysis of travel journalism. Through interviews with content providers – including journalists and bloggers – the book explores new ways of thinking about this profession. Looking at the relationship between travel journalists social media and influencers the book asks how travel journalists might rethink their work for more constructive purposes and how they should respond to innovations like the ever-growing sharing economy. The book also explores how journalistic ethics can be preserved as concerns around 'sponsored content' and 'paid influencers' remain widespread. For students and professionals looking to better understand the role of the travel journalist in the digital age this book is an invaluable resource. Pirolli comprehensively assesses the challenges and the opportunities for success that actors in travel media are now presented with and encourages readers to proactively embrace them. | Travel Journalism Informing Tourists in the Digital Age

Travel Writing and the Media Contemporary and Historical Perspectives

Travel Writing and the Media Contemporary and Historical Perspectives

The nexus between travel writing and media in the contemporary world is dense: travel practice is increasingly interwoven with media; representations in old and new media are co-present and converge. Digitisation has had a profound impact on the practice and mediation of travel but this volume aims to show that travel and its representation have always been enlaced with media. With contributions by experts in literary and cultural studies journalism studies and informatics the book takes a multi- and interdisciplinary approach and covers a wide range of media from the hand-crafted album to social media. It illustrates how current transformations invite us to revisit earlier periods of travel writing and their media environments and to explore the ways in which contemporary forms of mediation are prefigured by earlier practices and forms. The book addresses readers interested in travel writing travel studies and cultural studies.

Beyond the Grand Tour Northern Metropolises and Early Modern Travel Behaviour

Beyond the Grand Tour Northern Metropolises and Early Modern Travel Behaviour

Travel in early modern Europe is frequently represented as synonymous with the institution of the Grand Tour a journey undertaken by elite young males from northern Europe to the centres of the arts and antiquity in Italy. Taking a somewhat different perspective this volume builds upon recent research that pushes beyond this narrow orthodoxy and which decentres Italy as the ultimate destination of European travellers. Instead it explores a much broader pattern of travel undertaken by people of varied backgrounds and with divergent motives for travelling. By tapping into current reactions against the reification of the Grand Tour as a unique and distinctive practice this volume represents an important contribution to the ongoing process of resituating the Grand Tour as part of a wider context of travel and topographicalmwriting. Focusing upon practices of travel in northern and western Europe rather than in Italy particularly in Britain the Low Countries and Germany the essays in this collection highlight how itineraries continually evolved in response to changing political economic and intellectual contexts. In so doing the reasons for travel in northern Europe are subjected to a similar level of detailed analysis as has previously only been directed on Italy. By doing this the volume demonstrates the variety of travel experiences including the many shorter journeys made for pleasure health education and business undertaken by travellers of varying age and background across the period. In this way the volume brings to the fore the experiences of varied categories of traveller – from children to businessmen – which have traditionally been largely invisible in the historiography of travel. | Beyond the Grand Tour Northern Metropolises and Early Modern Travel Behaviour

Time and Temporalities in European Travel Writing

Time and Temporalities in European Travel Writing

This book is a collective effort to investigate and problematise notions of time and temporality in European travel writing from the late medieval period up to the late nineteenth century. It brings together nine researchers in European travel writing and covers a wide range of areas travel genres and languages coherently integrated around the central theme of time and temporalities. Taken together the contributions consider how temporal aspects evolve and change in regard to spatial historical and literary contexts. In a chapter-by-chapter account this volume thus offers various case studies that address the issue of temporality by showing for example how time is inscribed in landscape how travellers’ encounters with other temporalities informed other disciplines; it interrogates the idea of cultural temporalities in regard to a tension between past and future passivity and progression; and focuses on how time is entangled in identity construction proper to travelogues. | Time and Temporalities in European Travel Writing

Travelling Servants Mobility and Employment in British Travel Writing 1750- 1850

Travelling Servants Mobility and Employment in British Travel Writing 1750- 1850

This book outlines the contribution made by servants to domestic and Continental travel and travel writing between 1750 and 1850. Aiming to re-position British and European travel during this period as a site of work as well as leisure Katheryn Walchester provides commentary and analysis of texts by servants not addressed in current scholarship. By reading texts contrapuntally this book draws attention to repeated tropes and common patterns in the ways in which servants are featured in travelogues; and in so doing offers an account of alternative modes of experiencing and writing about the Home Tour and the Grand Tour. | Travelling Servants Mobility and Employment in British Travel Writing 1750- 1850

Intrepid Women Victorian Artists Travel

Intrepid Women Victorian Artists Travel

Despite the increased visibility of Victorian women artists in museum exhibitions and historical studies the art produced by Victorian women has been viewed through a restrictive lens. Scholars have focused on works produced for the marketplace but have overlooked art created and displayed outside of established venues and institutions of higher learning. Drawing upon sketches paintings and photographs Intrepid Women: Victorian Artists Travel is a groundbreaking study that examines the art that women produced whilst traveling as well as the circumstances that took these artists - both amateurs and professionals - far beyond the reaches of the traditional Grand Tour. Traveling throughout the British Empire including the Middle East India Canada and North Africa and even to the Americas the artists adapted to new climes and foreign cultures partially by documenting the unfamiliar through their art sometimes at great physical risk. This volume of essays offers fresh evidence that through their travel and art women extended both geographic and social boundaries. Each author presents evidence that women overcame institutional as well as cultural obstacles to improve their artistic skills and to use their art to convey worlds most British citizens would never see for themselves. | Intrepid Women Victorian Artists Travel

Transnational Russian-American Travel Writing

Transnational Russian-American Travel Writing

In this study Marinova examines the diverse practices of crossing boundaries tactics of translation and experiences of double and multiple political and national attachments evident in texts about Russo-American encounters from the end of the American Civil War to the Russian Revolution of 1905. Marinova brings together published writings archival materials and personal correspondence of well or less known travelers of diverse ethnic backgrounds and artistic predilections: from the quintessential American Mark Twain to the Russian-Jewish ethnographer and revolutionary Vladimir Bogoraz; from masters of realist prose such as the Ukrainian-born Vladimir Korolenko and the Jewish-Russian-American Abraham Cahan to romantic wanderers like Edna Proctor Isabel Hapgood or Grigorii Machtet. By highlighting the reification of problematic stereotypes of ethnic and racial difference in these texts Marinova illuminates the astonishing success of the Cold War period’s rhetoric of mutual hatred and exclusion and its continuing legacy today. | Transnational Russian-American Travel Writing

The Mind-Game Film Distributed Agency Time Travel and Productive Pathology

The Mind-Game Film Distributed Agency Time Travel and Productive Pathology

This book represents the culmination of Thomas Elsaesser’s intense and passionate thinking about the Hollywood mind-game film from the previous two decades. In order to answer what the mind-game film is why they exist and how they function Elsaesser maps the industrial-institutional challenges and constraints facing Hollywood and the broader philosophic horizon within which American cinema thrives today. He demonstrates how the ‘Persistence of Hollywood’ continues as it has adapted to include new twists and turns as well as revisions of past concerns as film moves through the 21st century. Through examples such as Minority Report Mulholland Drive Source Code and Back to the Future Elsaesser explores how mind-game films challenge us and play games with our perception of reality creating skepticism and (self-) doubt. He also highlights the mind-game film's tendency to intervene in a complex fashion in the political moment by questioning the dominant power’s intent to program both body and mind alike. Prescient and compelling The Mind-Game Film will appeal to students scholars and enthusiasts of media studies film studies philosophy and politics. | The Mind-Game Film Distributed Agency Time Travel and Productive Pathology

Kang Youwei Engages India His Travel Narratives (1901–1902) and Predicaments of Civilization and Nation

Kang Youwei Engages India His Travel Narratives (1901–1902) and Predicaments of Civilization and Nation

This book is the first annotated translation of the travelogues of Kang Youwei one of the most famous intellectuals and modernisers of late 19th-century China. These travelogues offer insights into Kang’s perceptions of India which influenced modern intellectual discourse on India in China. These perceptions not only had a great impact on the thinking of other intellectuals but were also responsible for the larger construct that China developed about India during the republican and post-liberation period. The texts provide meaning to many dilemmas and predicaments that enshrouded the concept of civilisation and its linkages with the modern concepts of nationalism and modernity in Asian countries such as China and India. They are a valuable prism in gauging the early 20th-century intellectual and Chinese moderniser mind as it grappled with the challenges and uncertainties of those times. An important contribution to the study of Sino-Indian interactions the book will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers of nation nationalism civilisation empire modern history translation studies Chinese Studies and Asian studies. | Kang Youwei Engages India His Travel Narratives (1901–1902) and Predicaments of Civilization and Nation

Milton's Italy Anglo-Italian Literature Travel and Connections in Seventeenth-Century England

Milton's Italy Anglo-Italian Literature Travel and Connections in Seventeenth-Century England

This book joins a growing trend toward transnational literary studies and revives a venerable tradition of Anglo-Italian scholarship centering on John Milton. Correcting misperceptions that have diminished the international dimensions of his life and work it broadly surveys Milton’s Italianate studies travels poetics politics and religious convictions. While his debts to Machiavelli and other classical republicans are often noted few contemporary critics have explored the Italian sources of his anti-papal anti-episcopal and anti-formalist religious outlook. Relying on Milton’s own testimony this book explores its roots in Dante Petrarch Ariosto and that great Venetian enemy of the pope Paolo Sarpi thereby correcting a recent tendency to make native English contexts dominate his development. This tendency is partly due to a mistaken belief that Italy was in steep decline during and after Milton’s travels of 1638-1639 the period immediately before he produced his prose critiques of the English Church its canon law and its censorship. Yet these were also fundamentally Italian issues that he skillfully adapted to meet contemporary English needs a practice enabled by his extraordinarily positive experience of the Italian language cities academies and music the latter of which ultimately influenced Milton’s operatic drama Samson Agonistes. Besides republicanism and theology (radical doctrines of free grace and free will) equally strong influences treated here include Italian Neoplatonism cosmology and romance epic. By making these traditions his own Milton became what John Steadman once described as an Italianate Englishman whose classical literary tastes and critical orientation…were…to a considerable extent molded by Italian critics (1976) a view that is fully credited and updated here. | Milton's Italy Anglo-Italian Literature Travel and Connections in Seventeenth-Century England
