Traveling Bodies

Traveling Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Traveling as an Embodied Practice explores the central role the body has in and for traveling and thus complements and expands upon existing research in travel studies with new perspectives on and insights in the entanglement of bodies and traveling. The case studies assembled in this volume discuss a variety of traveling practices, experiences, and media with chapters featuring Asian, American, and European historical and contemporary perspectives. Truly interdisciplinary in its approach, the volume identifies and examines diverse literary, historical and cultural texts, contexts, and modes in which traveling and the body intersect, including ‘classic’ travelogues, (new) media (e.g., film, digital travel apps), surf culture, and travel-inspired tattoos. The contributions offer various avenues for further research, not only for scholars working with body theory and travel (writing), but also for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, culture, media, and embodied practices of traveling.

Take a fascinating tour of the human body! How does your respiratory system work? What kind of bones make up a skeleton? How does food get digested? How many cells does one body contain? Put together the detailed puzzle and read the book to learn all about the cycle of life and the human body!

Free yourself from the constraints of biology, gravity, and distance. Go into outer space, the depths of the ocean, or anywhere your heart desires—without worrying about your physical body. With this book, you will learn the truth about astral healing, reuniting with loved ones on the astral plane, your astral guides, the other side of death, near-death experiences, and astral visions of the future.

Lucid dreaming, astral projection, out-of-body experiences... There is much philosophical baggage implicit in these terms, but in this refreshing and humorous book Alan Guiden casts it all aside to present the most intelligible guide to 'traveling' outside the body that has yet appeared in print.

Teaching out-of-body travel and lucid dreaming means success, an easy and interesting way to make good money, and travel all around the world to lead seminars and network. This is the hottest and most promising field of personal development. Let's change the world together - join us! Perhaps it's your destiny? After many years of experimental work on thousands of pupils, we are going public with our super-effective teaching methodologies. This altruistic deed was performed in order to create motivation for third parties to further develop the field. Though teaching out-of-body travel used to be the purview of the elect few, now anybody can do it, and even do a good job at it without any particular experience!
