«On the Beaten Track» is Lucy R. Lippard's essay on tourism, art and place, published by The New Press in hardback (182 pages, in English).
Lippard examines how tourist places are conceived and represented, and how that transformation affects the places themselves. She combines cultural criticism, anthropology and activism to discuss the tourist in their own territory, the role of photography and advertising, antique shops as popular museums, the commodification of indigenous cultures, and the attraction to tragic destinations.
The book includes an introduction, twelve chapters with cases such as Santa Fe and cultural tourism, bibliographic references (pp. 175-177) and an index.
For readers interested in cultural criticism, art theory and studies on tourism and heritage.
