Travel and Ethics : Theory and Practice Paperback / softback
Edited by Corinne Fowler, Charles Forsdick, Ludmilla Kostova
Part of the Routledge Research in Travel Writing series
Paperback / softback
Description
Despite the recent increase in scholarly activity regarding travel writing and the accompanying proliferation of publications relating to the form, its ethical dimensions have yet to be theorized with sufficient rigour.
Drawing from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, literary studies and modern languages, the contributors in this volume apply themselves to a number of key theoretical questions pertaining to travel writing and ethics, ranging from travel-as-commoditization to encounters with minority languages under threat.
Taken collectively, the essays assess key critical legacies from parallel disciplines to the debate so far, such as anthropological theory and postcolonial criticism.
Also considered, and of equal significance, are the ethical implications of the form’s parallel genres of writing, such as ethnography and journalism.
As some of the contributors argue, innovations in these genres have important implications for the act of theorizing travel writing itself and the mode and spirit in which it continues to be conducted.
In the light of such innovations, how might ethical theory maintain its critical edge?
