Each entry in the volume is around 1,000 words, the style more essayistic than encyclopaedic, with contributors reflecting on their chosen keyword from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The emphasis on travelogues and other cultural representations of mobility drawn from a range of national and linguistic traditions ensures that the volume has a comparative dimension; the aim is to give an overview of each term in its historical and theoretical complexity, providing readers with a clear sense of how the selected words are essential to a critical understanding of travel writing. Each entry is complemented by an annotated bibliography of five essential items suggesting further reading. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction; Notes on Contributors; Abroad; Adventure; Aesthetic; Affect; Anthropology; Arrival; Beaten Track; Body; Border; Boredom; Breakdown; Cartography; City; Class; Clothing; Coevalness; Colonialism; Companion; Contact Zone; Counterpoint; Curiosity; Dark Tourism; Death; Diaspora; Disability; Domestic Ritual; End-of-Travel; Ethics; Ethinicity; Exotic; Extreme Travel; Fiction; Form; Gender; Genre; Ghosts; Grand Tour; Hearing; History; Home; Home Tour; Humour; Identity; Illustration; Intermediaries; Intertextuality; Islands; Local Colour; Margins; Memory; Migration; Minority; Mobility; Monarch-of-All-I-Survey; Money; Motivation; Nation; Nature; Nomadism; Orientalism; Pedestrianism; Persona; Picturesque; Pilgrimage; Place; Poetics; Politics; Polygraphy; Primitivism; Psychoanalysis; Psychogeography; Reading; Science; Self; Semiotics; Sex\/Sexuality; Skin; Slowness; Smell; Solitude; Subjectivity; Sublime; Taste; Technology; Time; Tourism; Trade; Translation;; Transport; Travel; Traveller\/Travellee; Utopia; Velocity; Vertical Travel; Virtual Travel; Vision; War; Water; Wonder; World; Bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042901918039,"sku":"9781839985843","price":32.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839985843.jpg?v=1750956140","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/keywords-for-travel-writing-studies-a-critical-glossary-9781839985843","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
