This book explores this relationship through a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, covering a wide range of media, from hand-crafted albums to social media. It illustrates how current transformations invite us to revisit earlier periods of travel writing and their media environments and to explore how contemporary forms of mediation are prefigured by earlier practices and forms.

Travel itself has become deeply intertwined with the media, with representations in both old and new media coexisting and merging seamlessly.
