International Workshop: The Global Russian

The workshop develops the Dashkova Centre’s ‘Global Russian’ research strand and is part of the LBAS (AHRC) funded research project ‘Travelling Cultures: Discourses of Russian Tourism in Scotland’. The event will bring together international scholars examining tourism from the linguistic, historical and cultural perspectives, and the practitioners who produce tourist discourses: writers of guidebooks, Russian TV and radio travel programme creators and Russian speaking guides in Scotland. The workshop will explore tourist narratives as a product of cross-cultural interaction, and will address the questions: how globalization affects the narratives produced for and by Russian tourists and what meanings are attached to the newly emerged phenomenon of the Russian globe-trotter.
