Call for papers: contributors are invited for the volume New Directions in Travel Writing and Travel Studies. Ed. Carmen Andras. Travel studies have recently gained an important place among academic fields owing to their inter- and trans-disciplinary character. Contributions are invited to Carmen Andras at carmen_andras@yahoo.com on the subject of travel from the perspectives of history, literature, geography, imagology, cartography, anthropology, sociology, political sciences, or other related domains of research. Culture is in a great measure a history of travel and migration, including their integration in new topographies such journeys, exodus, nomadism, pilgrimage, (e/im)migration, exploration, dislocations of the labour force, etc., and the reading or writing about these experiences. Conceived in a broad sense, the idea of travel can also refer to the circulation and reception of books, documents, ideas, cultural influences, translations, etc. Other themes of interest include new directions and theory of travel writing and travel studies, histories of travel and the travel of histories, spaces of intercultural and international communication and conflicts of interests, maps of travel and the travel of maps, travel-knowledge-power, and discourses of identities and/or difference. Papers should be 6000-7000 words and in the MLA style of parenthetical sources and a works cited (but no footnotes or end notes). The volume is to be published in the Shaker publisher monography series of Books in Comparative Culture, Media, and Communication Studies http://www.shaker.eu/catalogue/booklist.asp?Reihe=451.
