Voyage and Emotions across Genres
About this book
"The contributors to the volume, coming from different areas of the Humanities
and Social Sciences, address several timely and important issues that
bring together richly diverse perspectives and advance current debates in
a range of fields, by carefully decoding literary texts covering a large timespan,
as well as political discourse, the discourse of advertising, the discourse
of education, and transpersonal discourse."
—Professor Arleen Ionescu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Every transdisciplinary study on voyage and/or emotion will offer new
insights into the multifarious facets of these two concepts. Taking a sociolinguistic
turn, this volume prompts the audience to cross the borders of a
variety of genres in order to discover new strands of thought. While the first
part highlights the multiple facets of the voyage as initiatory journey, as a
quest for an existence code, as a spiritual passage that the traveller experiences
in search for the Self or for the Other, the second part of the volume
seeks to address the temporality and spatiality of emotions, the ideological
dimension of the public and private space, outlining at the same time the
perception of the voyage as an intercultural and interlinguistic exchange.
