«Touring Cultures» is the essay collection edited by Chris Rojek and John Urry, published by Routledge in paperback (228 pages, in English).
Collection of essays on tourism as a cultural phenomenon: as travellers move around the world, cultures and objects also migrate. The texts examine the construction of tourist places, the traveller's photographic gaze and the authenticity of heritage, in relation to theoretical debates on space, time and identity.
Collective volume published in 1997, including chapters by Celia Lury, George Ritzer, Jennifer Craik, Sharon Macdonald and other specialists.
For students and researchers in sociology, cultural studies and tourism interested in how travel transforms identities and places.
