| Tóm tắt: | The Robert Hughes quote from his 1980 tour
de force, The Shock of the New, made a somewhat prescient point that applies even more in
the early 21st century than it did when he wrote
it some three decades ago. Taking a cue from a
more recent cultural icon (if not commentator),
Madonna assures us that ‘we live in a material
world’, and it is argued in this book that tourism
is an image-rich cultural and commercial part of
the material world (and the ironic double meaning Madonna attaches to her epigram). One
only has to consider the rapid transition from
the 20th-century passive consumption of visual
materials (photographs, brochures, TV documentaries and postcards) to the greater interactivity of the 21st century such as home-made
videos, manipulable digital images, interactive
websites and the like. This introduction makes it
clear that economics, planning, impact studies
and even anthropology are not enough to
explain tourism in late capitalist systems. In this
sense, the time is right to claim that tourism
studies have come of age. |
