Public Places, Private Journeys: Ethnography, Entertainment, And The Tourist Gaze,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this globally interconnected planet, we are increasingly able to access exotic locales without ever actually seeing these places firsthand. Instead, what we perceive to be fresh cultural experiences are actually secondhand moments, filtered through mediums such as television, film, the internet, CDRoms, and various other media.Ellen Strain posits that the images in film and popular culture not only fill in the gaps of a persons firsthandor rather, lack of firsthandexperience with other cultural situations, but also predisposes the tourist gaze to view particular locales in a predetermined way. She theorizes the idea of a touristic way of understanding the world in general. How, she asks, are our crosscultural perceptions of places and peoples created in the first place? Can a set of imagessuch as postcardsmediate our vision of distant geographies? Are there culturally constructed strategies set up to mediate our crosscultural perceptions of the exotic? Strain includes the works of Jules Verne, E. M. Forster, and Michael Crichton, as well as film, CDRom travel games and virtual reality in her own authorial gaze.Public Places, Private Journeys is a unique postmodern exploration of how individuals see across cultural differences in an era of increasingly commercialized and globalized culture.
