Sažetak
This special issue contains selected papers presented at the Borders and Crossings International and Multidisciplinary Conference on Travel Writing, which was held in Pula and on the Brijuni Islands in September 2018 (https://www.unipu.hr/borders2018). The conference, organized by the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, was a special occasion to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ‘Borders and Crossings’ conference, the regular meeting of all scholars interested in the issues of travel, travel writing and tourism in a unique historic environment of Pula and the Brijuni Islands National Park. Among almost 150 papers presented at the conference by the scholars and researchers from 120 universities, institutes, research centres and libraries from all around the world there were different topics related to transnational mobility in the historical and global perspective. The conference panels (as well as this selection) covered a broad range of topics: narratives of journeys, border crossings, cultural encounters and exchanges, construction of (trans)national identities, migratory movements and diasporic identities but also cultural and literary tourism, travel journalism and multimedia, history of traveling as well as current challenges of sustainable tourism development in the Euro-Mediterranean area. The plenary lectures related to recent trends in travel writing, history of travel along the Istrian and Adriatic coast and the history of tourism in the Euro-Mediterranean area were delivered by distinguished professors: Tim Youngs from the Nottingham Trent University, professor emeritus Svein Mønnesland from the University of Oslo and professor Peter Borsay from the Aberystwyth University. All the papers submitted were peer reviewed from the experts in the field. The guest editor would like to express the great appreciation to all the authors who contributed to the success of the Brijuni conference as well as to the International Journal of Euro-Mediterranean Studies for this initiative. We all hope that the fruitful cooperation that began at the Brijuni conference will continue on joint projects and future networking.
