This Second Edition deepens our understanding of how the tourist gaze orders and regulates the relationship with the tourist environment, demarcating the "other" and identifying the "out-of-the-ordinary." It elucidates the relationship between tourism and embodiment and elaborates on the connections between mobility as a mark of modern and postmodern experience and the attraction of tourism as a lifestyle choice.
The result is a book that builds on the proven strengths of the First Edition and revitalizes the argument to address the needs of researchers and students in the new century.
Urry (sociology, Lancaster U.) discusses how and why people, for short periods, leave their normal place of work and residence and consume unnecessary goods and services for pleasure, centering his excursions around the tourist gaze upon landscapes or townscapes that are, for them, out of the ordinary. The gaze, he points out, varies by society, social group, and historical period. The 1990 edition having been reprinted almost years since then, he now updates it with new data and studies and better illustrations, and adds a chapter on globalizing the gaze. Annotation c.
