Emphasizing the role of travel and migration in the performance and
transformation of identity, this volume addresses representations
of travel, mobility, and migration in 19th-21st-century travel
writing, literature, and media texts. In so doing, the book
analyses the role of the various cultural, ethnic, gender, and
national encounters pertinent to narratives of travel and migration
in transforming and problematizing the identities of both the
travelers and "travelees" enacting in the borderzones between
cultures. While the individual essays by scholars from a wide range
of countries deal with a variety of case studies from various
historical, spatial, and cultural locations, they share a strong
central interest in the ways in which the narratives of travel
contribute to the imagining of ethnic encounters and how they have
acted as sites of transformation and transculturation from the
early nineteenth century to the present day. In addition to
discussing textual representations of travel and migration, the
volume also addresses the ways in which cultural texts themselves
travel and are reconstructed in various cultural settings. The
analyses are particularly attentive to the issues of globalization
and migration, which provide a general frame for interpretation.
What distinguishes the volume from existing books is its concern
with travel and migration as ways of forging transcultural
identities that are able to subvert existing categorizations and
binary models of identity formation. In so doing, it pays
particular attention to the performance of identity in various
spaces of cultural encounter, ranging from North America to the
East of Europe, putting particular emphasis on the representation
of intercultural and ethnic encounters.
