Despite the recent increase in scholarly activity regarding travel
writing and the accompanying proliferation of publications relating
to the form, its ethical dimensions have yet to be theorized with
sufficient rigour. Drawing from the disciplines of anthropology,
linguistics, literary studies and modern languages, the
contributors in this volume apply themselves to a number of key
theoretical questions pertaining to travel writing and ethics,
ranging from travel-as-commoditization to encounters with minority
languages under threat. Taken collectively, the essays assess key
critical legacies from parallel disciplines to the debate so far,
such as anthropological theory and postcolonial criticism. Also
considered, and of equal significance, are the ethical implications
of the form's parallel genres of writing, such as ethnography and
journalism. As some of the contributors argue, innovations in these
genres have important implications for the act of theorizing travel
writing itself and the mode and spirit in which it continues to be
conducted. In the light of such innovations, how might ethical
theory maintain its critical edge?
