Rita SingerAs promised, here's now the official link to our lovely collection, 'Minoritised Languages and Travel' in Modern Languages Open.Kathryn Walchester explores the silencing of the Welsh travelee. A century and a half later, Marija Bergam locates Derek Walcott as a writer of a minor literature in the sense of Deleuze and Guattari. Anna-Lou Dijkstra’s analysis of recent German and French guidebooks to <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wales</a> uncovers how they pre-emptively interpret the travel destination, resulting in often skewed perceptions of a minoritized culture. Eimear Kennedy’s analysis of Irish travelogues about India explores how travelogues composed in endangered languages can originate from a position of relative socio-cultural privilege. Finally, David Miranda-Barreiro undertakes a close reading of Julio Camba’s travel writings and also in past and contemporary critical academic work on the author.<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/TravelWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TravelWriting</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ModernLanguages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ModernLanguages</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Romantodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Romantodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a><a href="https://modernlanguagesopen.org/collections/minoritised-languages-and-travel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://modernlanguagesopen.org/collections/minoritised-languages-and-travel</a>

Rita SingerThe fifth article takes us again to <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wales</a> withThe Picturesque and the Beastly: Wales and the Absence of Welsh in the Journals of Lady’s Companions Eliza and Millicent Bant (1806, 1808) by Kathryn WalchesterAbstract [...] The journals written by lady’s companions, Eliza and Millicent Bant, in 1806 and 1808 respectively, present a complicated view, one in which multifarious and often negative versions of Wales compete, but overall where linguistic otherness is not evident. [...] The Bant sisters’ lack of comprehension and their representation of its linguistic otherness is, I suggest, instead played out through a representation of Wales as complex, multifarious and impossible to comprehend. Wales is simultaneously “beastly” and “picturesque”, a place of industry and nature, beauty and squalor.<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/TravelWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TravelWriting</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wales</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#England</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Romantodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Romantodons</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Diary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diary</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a> <a href="https://modernlanguagesopen.org/articles/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.304" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://modernlanguagesopen.org/articles/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.304</a>
