- Title
At the Times of Writing: Expectation and Experience in Cruising Sailors' Online Travelogues.
- Authors
Jansson, Hanna
- Abstract
This paper on cruising sailors' online travelogues examines storytelling as an ongoing process. In this work, I combine perspectives from research on narrative and on the experience of time to introduce an analytical simile comparing storytelling with the embroidery stitch backstitch. I show the ways in which cruisers write their way along travelled routes, describing past and future events from an ever-changing present position for a contemporaneous audience.
