Essay question is: Critically
evaluate how the visual functions in relation to either:

a. Tourism and
travel

OR

b. History and
memorials

1. Please read the Power point lecture slides I attached.
2. Use and answer these three seminar questions for the essay: 
– How powerful is the ‘tourist gaze’ in
terms of constructing place for us? How might we use the tourist gaze to ‘get
at’ what is happening in normal society? What examples can you think of,
whereby the tourist gaze reveals something about ‘normal’ society to us?

– How
does film/TV programmes/games/social
media trends shape
the identity of a place? ​Do
certain places naturally encourage certain media representations, or does the media construct our understandings of place? Does the
mediation of place through new kinds of media (film, TV, digital devices) add
to, or detract from the authenticity of the tourist experience?

– Is dark tourism a good thing for cultural memory of atrocity? Should we encourage more dark tourism? How might dark tourism change our relationship to, or understanding of, the past?

3. I attached two essay examples for guideline.
4. This is the reading list for the essay. I want you to use these readings:

Urry, J. and Larsen, J. 2011. The Tourist Gaze 3. London: Sage. (Chapter 1 – ‘Theories’) (available as e-book via library) –> I couldn’t attach the file of this reading.

Cole, T. 2018. On Photography: Take a Photo Here. New York Times. [Online]. June 27the 2018. [Accessed February 4th 2019].
