Abstract

The session “Mountain Echoes Beyond Boundaries” is committed to an intersectional perspective on various topics highlighting the transnational history of mountain experiences and their representations as well as transcending the boundaries of class, gender, region and nation. From research on women at mountain film festivals to Olympic ski jumpers, the growth of ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains, travel literature focusing on mountain experiences or the history of mountain landscapes, the session will bring to together researchers from different traditions who will explore a range of topics that, despite their differences, may reveal a common thread worth exploring. My task in this section is to summarize the various papers, to comment on them critically and to show how they are related.
