My proposed book on “Travel Writing and South East Asia: Its Politics” is in the final stages. But I can accommodate a couple of quality papers. The final editing and reviewing of the submitted papers is going on. So those who are interested may submit their papers on the following thrust area.
Once looked down as a sub-literary genre, travel writing has emerged in recent times as a focus for intensive research across a whole range of disciplines. Much interest has been generated in its history, formal characteristics, and problems of representation, and for what it can be made to say about a whole range of themes such as representation of identity and difference. Travel writing has its special importance in the case of South East Asia because it reflected the interactions of the colonial powers with the natives. Of course, travel and the representation of difference have never been the sole prerogative of the colonials only, and there is a substantial body of travel writings by the natives. Travel writing has also been a rich resource for those studying issues of gender and power; and as mentioned earlier colonialism and post-colonialism.
Thematic Focus of the Volume:
• The articles should be on any work of travel writing which covers South East Asia. Some of the areas to be covered are as follows:
Political agendas of travel writing
Empire and race in travel writing
Sexual politics and gender in travel writing
National and transnational identities in travel writing
Globalization, migration and travel writing
Narrative, aesthetics and language of travel writing
