Abstract

This volume explores the relationship between tourism and travel texts and contemporary society, and how each is shaped by the other. A multimodal analysis is used to consider a variety of texts including novels, brochures, blogs, websites, radio commercials, videos, postcards and authentic tourist pictures and their meaning-making dynamics within the tourism discourse. The book looks at the ways in which these different texts have influenced how tourists and travellers have been viewed over time and how we envision ourselves as tourists or travellers. It puts forward multimodal analysis as the best framework for exploring the semiotic potential of these texts. Including examples from the UK, Malta, Canada, New Zealand, India, Jamaica and South Africa, this volume will be useful for researchers and students in tourism studies, communication and media studies and applied linguistics.

Abstract

Is travel inherently beneficial to human character? Does it automatically educate and enlighten while also promoting tolerance, peace, and understanding? In this challenging book, Dean MacCannell identifies and overcomes common obstacles to ethical sightseeing. Through his unique combination of personal observation and in-depth scholarship, MacCannell ventures into specific tourist destinations and attractions: "picturesque" rural and natural landscapes, "hip" urban scenes, historic locations of tragic events, Disney theme parks, beaches, and travel poster ideals. He shows how strategies intended to attract tourists carry unintended consequences when they migrate to other domains of life and reappear as "staged authenticity." Demonstrating each act of sightseeing as an ethical test, the book shows how tourists can realize the productive potential of their travel desires, penetrate the collective unconscious, and gain character, insight, and connection to the world.

Abstract

Using examples from different historical contexts, this book examines the relationship between class, nationalism, modernity and the agrarian myth. Essentializing rural identity, traditional culture and quotidian resistance, both aristocratic/plebeian and pastoral/Darwinian forms of agrarian myth discourse inform struggles waged 'from above' and 'from below', surfacing in peasant movements, film and travel writing. Film depictions of royalty, landowner and colonizer as disempowered, ‘ordinary’ or well-disposed towards ‘those below’, whose interests they share, underwrite populism and nationalism. Although these ideologies replaced the cosmopolitanism of the Grand Tour, twentieth century travel literature continued to reflect a fear of vanishing rural ‘otherness’ abroad, combined with the arrival there of the mass tourist, the plebeian from home.

Abstract

Altijd al was Amerika een 'geheime liefde' voor Geert Mak. Bijna ieder jaar reisde hij er rond, als journalist en zomaar, als toeschouwer en luisteraar. Het land hield hem een spiegel voor waarin hij Europa en Nederland telkens weer met nieuwe ogen kon bekijken. Nu richt hij zijn blik, eindelijk, op Amerika zelf. In Reizen zonder John volgt Mak het spoor van de legendarische schrijver John Steinbeck, die in het najaar van 1960 met zijn poedel Charley een ontdekkingsreis maakte dwars door het toenmalige Amerika. Zijn tocht beschreef hij in de klassieker Reizen met Charley. Precies vijftig jaar later vertrok Geert Mak vanaf het oude huis van Steinbeck. Het was het begin van een inspectietocht in het voetspoor van Charley en John, maar nu met de ogen van 2010. Wat is de afgelopen halve eeuw in de Amerikaanse steden en dorpen veranderd ? Waar is Main Street USA gebleven ? Welke dromen joegen de Amerikanen al die eeuwen na ? Wat is ervan terechtgekomen ? Wat rest er nog van het Beloofde Land waartegen ooit de hele wereld opkeek ? En wat bindt Amerika en Europa nog in de eenentwintigste eeuw ?Bron : http://www.bol.com
