The book "Cultural Travel Histories" is an attempt to define historically significant models of travel. The authors treat travel as a practice that causes the transfer of our knowledge, but also as a way to consolidate certain cultural patterns and define their broader contexts. Travel dynamizes history, but also consolidates it; it consolidates individual cultures from within, but also becomes a vehicle enabling mediation across their borders.

In this volume, displacements, repetitions, and gaps between patterns can be seen, both those that matrix cultural practice and those related to the emergence of discursive orders focused around that practice. This book is ideal for students, scholars, and all travel enthusiasts who want to delve into the cultural aspects of this phenomenon.
