Microtravel : Confinement, Deceleration, Microspection Hardback
Edited by Charles Forsdick, Zoe Kinsley, Kate Walchester
Part of the Anthem Studies in Travel series
Hardback
Description
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic imposed immobility on large sectors of the world’s population, with confinement becoming an everyday reality.
The lives of those who previously enjoyed the privileges of being ‘fast castes’ ground to a halt, while at the same time the displacement of more vulnerable populations along well-established migration corridors has been radically reduced.
The result has been a recalibration of the scale of journeying, with travellers slowing down their journeys and readjusting their relationship to the proximate and nearby.
This situation has provided an opportunity for those who study travel and travel writing to rethink their objects of study and approaches to them.
This volume explores and historicizes the phenomenon of ‘microtravel’, designating slower journeys within a limited radius which allow, and sometimes necessitate, new forms of experiencing the world.
