Travel and Intercultural Communication: Going North (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781443879149)

This volume brings together the proceedings of â oeGoing North: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Travel and Intercultural Communication⠝ held in Halden, Norway, in 2016. Todayâ (TM)s world is akin to a global network where spatial, linguistic and cultural mobility reshapes our identities. This mobility is unprecedented in its scope, and is caused by a multitude of reasons, from purely leisurely travel to desperate flight. The â oeGoing North⠝ conference addressed the role of travel â " past and present â " and intercultural communication connected to travel.

The book brings together texts focusing on going north from several geographical points of departure, from a wide range of genres, and explores a range of intercultural aspects such as issues of identity, othering, the crossing of borders, and cultural perceptions of the north.
