The imagination has long been associated with travel and tourism;
from the seventeenth century when the showman and his peepshow box
would take the village crowd to places, cities and lands through
the power of stories, to today when we rely on a different range of
boxes to whisk us away on our imaginative travels: the television,
the cinema and the computer. Even simply the notion of travel, it
would seem, gives us license to daydream. The imagination thus
becomes a key concept that blurs the boundaries between our
everyday lives and the idea of travel. Yet, despite what appears to
be a close and comfortable link, there is an absence of scholarly
material looking at travel and the imagination. Bringing together
geographers, sociologists, cultural researchers, philosophers,
anthropologists, visual researchers, archaeologists, heritage
researchers, literary scholars and creative writers, this edited
collection explores the socio-cultural phenomenon of imagination
and travel. The volume reflects upon imagination in the context of
many forms of physical and non-physical travel, inviting scholars
to explore this fascinating, yet complex, area of inquiry in all of
its wonderful colour, slipperiness, mystery and intrigue. The book
intends to provide a catalyst for thinking, discussion, research
and writing, with the vision of generating a cannon of scholarship
on travel and the imagination that is currently absent from the
literature.
