Modern Travel, Modern Landscapes: Connections and Exchanges in Europe c. 1850-1950

Durham,
UKOrganisation: Jana Hunter (University of Oxford) and Christian Drury (Durham University)Travel was central to shaping identity in Europe between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth century. Representations of place, as well as personal, cultural and institutional connections, informed and structured travel at this time. Travellers within Europe and from outside shaped an understanding of what Europe was and is in a global, imperial context. As Kate Hill has put it, under the influence of technological and colonial change, spaces, narratives themselves, and cultural encounters all took on a greater measure of flux as the nineteenth century progressed. The provisional nature of the modern categories of home and away were forged in the nineteenth century.Venue: University of DurhamURL: https://mtml2022.wordpress.com/
