Writing Journeys across Cultural Borders (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Shabliy, Elena V.; Engerman, Kimarie

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Narratives of journeys, voyages, and pilgrimages often guide readers to questions about humanism and humanity from a holistic perspective. The chapters in this volume explore narratives of both real and imagined journeys and examine their religious, psychological, psychoanalytical, philosophical, educational, and historical implications. What emerges is an understanding of narratives of journeys across cultural borders as powerful educational tools that can model and contribute to meaningful dialogue with other states, cultures, and civilizations.
