Travel magazines, globalization and the consumer gaze

In English

Författare

  • Emilia Ljungberg

Summary, in English

Travel writing, from high culture to popular texts, has often been interpreted as giving expression to colonial discourses and desires. The tourist is imagined to have a colonial gaze in relation to the exotic destination. However, in my paper I would like to argue that travel writing, and tourism, could also be read in other ways, and to situate popular travel writing in a context of globalization discourses and consumerism.
