Our endeavor in this issue of eDhvani is to problematize the idea of travel and analyse it from positions that not only question the leisurely and gendered notions of travel but also reconceptualise the notion of travel in ways that open up the field of enquiry. Beginning with questions of "who travels? To where? How and why? ", eDhvani intends to explore the idea of travel and gender as movement. Gender is now largely understood as performance which is constantly shifting. On similar grounds, can there be a connection made between gender and travel as movement? Can we look at gender itself as travel, as movement? Travel writing as a genre has defined its boundaries largely within the concept of travelling for pleasure. How do we understand day-to-day experiences of travelling/commuting for work, travelling forced by displacement or even travelling/walking for basic necessities? The existing discourse of travel studies has to be re/read in this light. For example, the colonial travel writings have already been reread as documents that produced and established knowledge on the Orient for colonization. The extension of the boundaries of the genre in this manner would further complicate the study by looking at travel as movement from one space to another not necessitated by one's pleasure or pleasure to 'see/know', but necessitated by compulsion through which people negotiate. Thus, a displaced body as an engendered displacement, constructing gender spatially through body and performance, may link both travel and gender. eDhvani, in its fifth volume, calls for scholarly papers that discuss and analyze various aspects of gender and travel. The papers would be peer reviewed and published in the coming issue of eDhvani. Papers can address but not limit to the following sub-themes:
