The Transculturation
of Mobile Narratives
Travel, Migration, and Identity
Edited by Eleftheria Arapoglou, University of
California, Davis, USA, Mónika Fodor, University
of Pécs, Hungary and Jopi Nyman, University of
Eastern Finland, Finland
Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on
Literature
Emphasizing the role of travel and migration in the
performance and transformation of identity, this volume
addresses representations of travel, mobility, and
migration in 19th – 21st-century travel writing, literature,
and media texts. In so doing, the book analyses the role
of the various cultural, ethnic, gender, and national
encounters pertinent to narratives of travel and
migration in transforming and problematizing the
identities of both the travelers and ‘travelees’ enacting in
the borderzones between cultures.
