About the Book

Travel and Representation is a timely volume of essays that explores and re-examines the various convergences between literature, art, photography, television, cinema and travel. The essays do so in a way that appreciates the entanglement of representations and travel at a juncture in theoretical work that recognizes the limits of representation, things that lie outside of representation and the continuing power of representation. The emphasis is on the myriad ways travelers/scholars employ representation in their writing/analyses as they re-think the intersections between travelers, fields of representation, imagination, emotions and corporeal experiences in the past, the present and the future.

Review :
“This is a well-written book that disentangles, through sound interdisciplinary scholarship, the multiple workings of travel representations, their effects on people, and their limits…[It] is definitely recommended reading for graduate students and scholars with an interest in how travel, including tourism, is represented and how both travel and its representations mutually influence each other.” • JRAI (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute) “This is a collection of beautifully written chapters coalescing around a set of mutually illuminating themes: the visual, the poetic, imagination, the post-representational, travel, and self/world making. Moving from film to the Internet, from photography to music, and from travel writing and poetry to television commercials, Travel and Representation puts this debate over representation into terms that are amenable to tourism studies and research.” • Jennie Germann Molz, College of the Holy Cross “This is an innovative collection of chapters that pushes the scope of research at the intersections between travel and representation in new directions by focusing on what representations ‘do’ in constructing the sensory and emotional experiences of travelers.” • Duncan Light, Bournemouth University
