505 | 8 | |a Travel and tourism have a long association with the notion of transformation, both in terms of self and social collectives. What is surprising, however, is that this association has, on the whole, remained relatively underexplored and unchallenged, with little in the way of a corpus of academic literature surrounding these themes. Instead, much of the literature to date has focused upon describing and categorising tourism and travel experiences from a supply-side perspective, with travellers themselves defined in terms of their motivations and interests. While the tourism field can lay claim to several significant milestone contributions, there have been few recent attempts at a rigorous re-theorization of the issues arising from the travel/transformation nexus. The opportunity to explore the socio-cultural dimensions of transformation through travel has thus far been missed. Bringing together geographers, sociologists, cultural researchers, philosophers, anthropologists, visual researchers, literary scholars and heritage researchers, this volume explores what it means to transform through travel in a modern, mobile world. In doing so, it draws upon a wide variety of traveller perspectives - including tourists, backpackers, lifestyle travellers, migrants, refugees, nomads, walkers, writers, poets, virtual travellers and cosmetic surgery patients - to unpack a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination since the very first works of Western literature | |

The opportunity to explore the socio-cultural dimensions of transformation through travel has thus far been missed. Bringing together geographers, sociologists, cultural researchers, philosophers, anthropologists, visual researchers, literary scholars and heritage researchers, this volume explores what it means to transform through travel in a modern, mobile world. In doing so, it draws upon a wide variety of traveller perspectives - including tourists, backpackers, lifestyle travellers, migrants, refugees, nomads, walkers, writers, poets, virtual travellers and cosmetic surgery patients - to unpack a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination since the very first works of Western literature SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Geography bisacsh TRAVEL / Budget bisacsh TRAVEL / Hikes & Walks bisacsh TRAVEL / Museums, Tours, Points of Interest bisacsh TRAVEL / Parks & Campgrounds bisacsh Self-actualization (Psychology) fast Tourism / Psychological aspects fast Travel / Psychological aspects fast Geografie Geowissenschaften Psychologie Travel Psychological aspects Tourism Psychological aspects Self-actualization (Psychology) Identitätsfindung (DE-588)4123409-1 gnd rswk-swf Reise (DE-588)4049275-8 gnd rswk-swf Persönlichkeitsentwicklung (DE-588)4075995-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Reise (DE-588)4049275-8 s Identitätsfindung (DE-588)4123409-1 s Persönlichkeitsentwicklung (DE-588)4075995-7 s 2\p DE-604 Lean, Garth edt Staiff, Russell edt Waterton, Emma edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Travel and transformation 9781409467632 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |

What is surprising, however, is that this association has, on the whole, remained relatively underexplored and unchallenged, with little in the way of a corpus of academic literature surrounding these themes. Instead, much of the literature to date has focused upon describing and categorising tourism and travel experiences from a supply-side perspective, with travellers themselves defined in terms of their motivations and interests. While the tourism field can lay claim to several significant milestone contributions, there have been few recent attempts at a rigorous re-theorization of the issues arising from the travel/transformation nexus. The opportunity to explore the socio-cultural dimensions of transformation through travel has thus far been missed.
