Traveling Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Traveling as an Embodied Practice de Nicole Maruo-Schröder

Traveling Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Traveling as an Embodied Practice: Routledge Research in Travel Writing

Editat de Nicole Maruo-Schröder, Sarah Schäfer-Althaus, Uta Schaffers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2023
Traveling Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Traveling as an Embodied Practice explores the central role the body has in and for traveling and thus complements and expands upon existing research in travel studies with new perspectives on and insights in the entanglement of bodies and traveling. The case studies assembled in this volume discuss a variety of traveling practices, experiences, and media with chapters featuring Asian, American, and European historical and contemporary perspectives. Truly interdisciplinary in its approach, the volume identifies and examines diverse literary, historical and cultural texts, contexts, and modes in which traveling and the body intersect, including ‘classic’ travelogues, (new) media (e.g., film, digital travel apps), surf culture, and travel-inspired tattoos. The contributions offer various avenues for further research, not only for scholars working with body theory and travel (writing), but also for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, culture, media, and embodied practices of traveling.

Recenzii

This volume makes an important contribution to the emerging critical literature on travel and the body. Its essays trace historical developments in the ways that travel is experienced as an embodied practice, and offer a thought-provoking range of perspectives and approaches. Traveling Bodies shows how productive interdisciplinary conversations in the field of travel can be, with the study of travel writing enriched by attention to other forms of creative and cultural practice that explore bodies on the move. It is a book that couples broad and wide-ranging discussion of key ideas with detailed and thoughtful analytical work with particular examples and case studies, and will no doubt stimulate new journeys of exploration.
Zoë Kinsley, Associate Professor in English Literature, Liverpool Hope University, UK
Up until today, matters of the body have not gained as much attention by international travel studies as they deserve. Therefore, the interdisciplinary essay collection Traveling Bodies can be considered a groundbreaking contribution to the field: It presents a wide range of new insights concerning (European, North American, and Japanese) travel literature and culture from the Age of Enlightenment to the present and offers innovative theoretical perspectives which will prove extremely productive for future work on the subject area. A highly recommended, almost indispensable read for scholars and students in travel studies around the world!
Stefan Hermes, Senior Lecturer in German Literature, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
