Addressing the appeal of the journey narrative from pre-cinema to
new media and through documentary, fiction and the spaces between,
this collection reveals the journey to be a persistent presence
across cinema and in cultural modernity. Drawing on examples from
different regions and cultures that traverse art and genre cinema,
the book explores the journey as a motif for something wider, a
metaphor for self-discovery and social transformation, and evidence
of autonomy and progress (or their lack). Illuminating areas of
global movement, belonging, diaspora and memory, these essays
document epochal changes in human behaviour, from urbanisation,
migration and war to tourism and shopping.
