Beskrivning
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 Introduction, 3, 7 and 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

"This timely investigation of the mediation and mediatisation of the foreign through travel explores the textual and visual conduits through which travel experiences have been communicated to increasingly global audiences. It makes a bold and exciting contribution to travel writing studies and media history."Alison E. Martin, Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz/Germersheim, Germany"This is a ground-breaking volume: embracing inter alia magazines, photographs, radio broadcasts and video games, TEDx talks, Twitter feeds, Instagram influencers and Netflix, it maps in exemplary and thought-provoking fashion the multimodal and intermedial dimensions of modern travel culture, from the eighteenth century to the present day."Carl Thompson, University of Surrey, UK
