| Abstract | How have the Welsh travelled beyond their borders? What have they taken with them in their baggage, and what have they brought back? These sessions seek to explore how the Welsh have made their mark on the world through their expertise, creativity and enterprise. The historical and the imaginary worlds are considered: how 'Welshness' and Welsh culture has been shaped, re-interpreted outside Wales, how Welsh culture has been enriched by returning travellers, and how 'travel' might include exchanges of letters or other cultural artefacts rather than the movement of people. |
