Über Politics, Identity, and Mobility in Travel Writing
This collection examines the intersections between the personal and the political in travel writing, and the dialectic between mobility and stasis, via an analysis of cases across geographical and historical boundaries. Essays explore the ways in which travel texts represent actual political conditions and thus engage in discussions about national, transnational, and global citizenship, demonstrating how travel writing¿s reception and ideological interventions also transform personal and cultural realities. It thus examines the ways in which politics¿ material effects inform and intersect with personal experience in travel texts and engage with travel¿s dialectic of mobility and stasis.
