Ellen Strain

Public Places, Private Journeys

Ethnography, Entertainment, and the Tourist Gaze

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work posits that the images in film and popular culture not only fill in the gaps of a person's first hand - or rather, lack of first-hand - experience with other cultural situations, but also predisposes the ""tourist gaze"" to view particular locales in a predetermined way.
