Resumen:
Traveling involves a displacement of people and cultures across space that impacts on the material and imaginary geographies of places. Poststructuralism and the cultural turn in geography have opened the field for the study of travel and travel narratives not just as objective information about places, and beyond travel as leisure, but to travel as a set of political and cultural practices involved in domination strategies. Viewed in this way, journeys are understood to play a part in the creation of geographical imaginations and landscapes that have contributed to the development of imperial practices and the formation of extra-European nation-states. At the same time, travel geographies have explored the ways in which class, gender, race, and ethnic differences affect how a journey is envisaged and how the bonds between places of origin and destination are negotiated.
