 | The Framed World: Tourism, Tourists and Photography Subjects: Arts; Geography; Humanities; Social Sciences; Tourism Hospitality and Events; Cultural Studies; Tourism; Visual Arts; Human Geography; Sociology & Social Policy; Photography ; Cultural Geography; Sociology of Culture; Photographs create visual narratives of experiences, places, peoples and objects that collectively and individually comprise the tourist gaze. Photography is acknowledged as having an important role in the determining of places and spaces, the construction and re-construction of identities, and the invention and re-invention of histories. So why do tourists take photos of certain things and not of others? Why do tourists take photos at all? How do photos build places, how do they change and shape lives? An interdisciplinary team of contributors from across the globe explore such questions as they examine the relationships between photography and tourism and tourists.
