Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim (Lehrstuhl für Amerikanische Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: Travel blogs, as narratives of identity, can provide a particularly apt insight into female solo travellers' identity constructions and the narrative strategies they use to present these identities to their readers. Using an exploratory and qualitative approach, this paper aims at exploring the question of what kind of self-identity female solo travel bloggers construct and how they fashion it narratively. This research goes beyond previous studies of weblogs as it identifies how identity is constructed by a particular sub-group of bloggers that has not been investigated before (female solo travellers). Moreover, it provides an overview of narrative strategies used in travel blogs defining the travel blog as its own literary genre.
