The nexus between travel, writing and media in the contemporary
world is dense: travel practice is increasingly interwoven with
media; representations in old and new media are co-present and
converge. Digitisation has had a profound impact on the practice
and mediation of travel, but this volume aims to show that travel
and its representation have always been enlaced with media. With
contributions by experts in literary and cultural studies,
journalism studies and informatics, the book takes a multi- and
interdisciplinary approach and covers a wide range of media, from
the hand-crafted album to social media. It illustrates how current
transformations invite us to revisit earlier periods of travel
writing and their media environments, and to explore the ways in
which contemporary forms of mediation are prefigured by earlier
practices and forms. The book addresses readers interested in
travel writing, travel studies and cultural studies. Chapters

The Virgin Mary continues to attract devotees to her images and
shrines. In Moved by Mary, anthropologists, geographers and
historians explore how people and groups around the world identify
and join with Mary in their struggle against social injustice, and
how others mobilize Mary to impose ideas and rules and legitimize
acts of violence and suppression. Far from an outdated practice of
little relevance to the modern world, Marian pilgrimage expresses
the deep and urgent concerns of a wide range of people. With
examples of Marian pilgrimages from all over the world, Moved by
Mary explores the ways in which men and women of different ages and
religious, political, social-economic and ethnic backgrounds
empower themselves to deal with modern-day issues with MaryAs help.
The ethnographic cases reveal the cultural and devotional variation
of Marian pilgrimage, but also global similarities. Collectively,
the contributors to Moved by Mary show how in many places religion
dramatically suffuses everyday life.
