Travel and Representation: Past, Present, Future -- 1 Repeating Visions: Hitchcock’s Vertigo and San Francisco -- 2 Curious Images from Northwest China: Ethics and Poetics in Carolyn Drake’s Travel Photography -- 3 Astronauts and Avatars: Travels between the Physical, the Virtual and the Imagined -- 4 Finitude before Finitude: The Case of Rousseau-Bougainville-Diderot -- 5 Bernard Smith and Imagining the Pacific: The Art/Poetics of ‘Discovery’ and the Art/Poetics of Writing about Early European Travellers in the South Pacific -- 6 Searching for the Spirit of Bluegrass -- 7 The Transient Gaze: Perambulist Somnambulist (Sensual, Sonic and Aural Photographic Narratives) -- 8 Snapshot Photography and a Gendered Poetics of the Beach, 1900s–1920s -- 9 Mediating Mythic Origins and Lived Localities: Connecting and Distancing on Roots/Homeland Tours -- 10 Road Trip through the Heartland: Television Advertisements and the Australian Domestic Traveller -- Index
Summary: Travel and Representation is a timely volume of essays that explores and re-examines the various convergences between literature, art, photography, television, cinema and travel. The essays do so in a way that appreciates the entanglement of representations and travel at a juncture in theoretical work that recognizes the limits of representation, things that lie outside of representation and the continuing power of representation. The emphasis is on the myriad ways travelers/scholars employ representation in their writing/analyses as they re-think the intersections between travelers, fields of representation, imagination, emotions and corporeal experiences in the past, the present and the future.
