We are excited to introduce Travel Writing and Cultural Transfer, Volume 20 in the FILLM Series with John Benjamins Publishing. Edited by Petra Broomans and Jeanette den Toonder from the University of Groningen, this volume delves into the complex dynamics of cultural transfer through the lens of travel writing, offering readers a deeper understanding of how travel narratives both reflect and shape the cross-cultural exchanges that define our world.
Exploring both historical and contemporary modes of travel, this collection examines how writers navigate and document experiences across cultures, thereby influencing their own societies’ perceptions of foreign places, people, and ideas. The fluid nature of travel writing—moving between factual accounts and fictionalized narratives—emerges as a powerful vehicle for cultural transfer, shaping ideologies and transmitting cultural values across borders. The volume also addresses critical themes such as power, colonialism, and politics, highlighting how cultural transfer through travel writing often intertwines with these issues.
Each chapter offers unique insights into how travel writing has facilitated the transmission of cultures and ideas, considering how these narratives impact the writer’s own cultural framework and influence broader societal understandings of “the other.” Travel Writing and Cultural Transfer is an essential contribution to the study of literary and cultural exchanges and will appeal to those interested in postcolonial studies, intercultural communication, and the transformative power of storytelling.

We are pleased to present Ruptured Commons, the latest addition to the FILLM Series with John Benjamins Publishing. Edited by Anna Guttman (Lakehead University) and Veronica J. Austen (St. Jerome’s University), this volume engages with themes of rupture and common spaces through the lens of literary and cultural studies, offering a thoughtful examination of contemporary challenges to shared environments and collective identities.
Ruptured Commons responds to the profound disruptions affecting our societies, economies, and cultural practices, from shifts in the natural environment to unexpected global crises. Across diverse genres—film, fiction, theatre, poetry, and graphic novels—the volume examines how literary and artistic expressions not only reflect but also resist and reimagine our world’s ruptures.
Spanning cultures and continents, the collection moves from Garrett Hardin’s influential concept of the “tragedy of the commons” to current explorations of art as both protest and pathway to social transformation.
Almost all of the works studied in this collection were produced within the last decade, underscoring Ruptured Commons’ focus on contemporary expressions and the emerging, hopeful visions for a more resilient future. This volume is essential reading for those interested in understanding the intersections of literature, culture, and the global challenges we face today.

The Department of African Studies at the University of Vienna recently hosted a captivating seminar titled "Glossonomy in Africa in the Context of Language Reconstruction and Classification: State of the Art and Perspectives". The seminar was presented by Prof. Firmin Ahoua from the University Felix-Houphouet Boigny (FHB), Ivory Coast, and took place on Wednesday, 24th July 2024.
Seminar Highlights:
Prof. Ahoua discussed the progress made since Greenberg's seminal work in 1963 in classifying and reconstructing the genetic relationships of African languages. He highlighted the challenges and controversies surrounding the naming conventions of these languages, many of which were inherited from colonial linguists and based on geographic features or pejorative exonyms. Prof. Ahoua emphasized the importance of revising these names to reflect indigenous endonyms, despite the administrative and standardization difficulties involved.
Key Insights:
The historical context of African language naming conventions.
The impact of naming on linguistic identity and cultural heritage.
The role of African linguists in redefining these conventions.
The significance of using endonyms for fostering linguistic and cultural resilience.
Institutional Collaboration:
This seminar exemplified the collaborative efforts of international institutions such as the Fédération Internationale des Langues et Littératures Modernes (FILLM) and the West African Linguistics Society (WALS). These organizations facilitate global academic partnerships, driving significant advancements in science and research. The seminar also provided an opportunity for Prof. Ahoua and Prof. Bodomo, along with Dr. Angsongna, to conduct an editors' meeting for the African Language Grammars and Dictionaries (ALGaD) series by Language Science Press.
The seminar was a resounding success, underscoring the critical role of academic collaboration in advancing our understanding of African languages. Congratulations to all involved for their contributions to this important field of study.
A Global Perspective in Vienna!
