Полный текстСтраница публикацииПубликация в OpenAlex
Аннотация: Abstract Travellers are now journeying to the frontiers of our world, including the poles, deserts, mountain peaks, the depths of the ocean and even outer space. These extraordinary travel experiences are often carried out in the ‘footsteps’ of explorers or adventurers, both past and present, and may be motivated or influenced by fantasy narratives and dreamscapes. This paper uses narrative analysis to examine some of the metaphors and imagery used by these individuals when describing these journeys, including mythic, imaginary and theatrical elements, and explores the common discourse of the adventure myth and the metempsychotic journey.
