The Tourist Gaze 3.0

The Tourist Gaze 3.0

  • John Urry - Lancaster University, UK
  • Jonas Larsen - University of Roskilde, Denmark
  • Description

All chapters have been significantly revised to include up-to-date empirical data, many new case studies and fresh concepts. Three new chapters have been added which explore:

  • photography and digitization
  • embodied performances
  • risks and alternative futures

This book is essential reading for all involved in contemporary tourism, leisure, cultural policy, design, economic regeneration, heritage and the arts.

The original Tourist Gaze was a classic, marking out a new land to study and appreciate. This new edition extends into fresh areas with the same passion and insight of the object. Even more essential reading! Nigel Thrift Vice-Chancellor, Warwick University

The first edition of Tourist Gaze was a landmark in the theoretical development of tourism studies, and it inspired waves of research and often fierce debates that have reverberated over the following two decades. This new edition of the book is not only thoroughly revised but has also been given renewed cutting edge, particularly by the addition of chapters on risk and on digital photography. At the same time, our understanding of the tourist gaze has been reframed and broadened by the infusion of ideas about mobility and embodiment, making this book an essential read for every tourism scholar Allan Williams Professor of Tourism Management, University of Surrey

Don't leave home without the 3rd edition! With new chapters and rigorous restructuring, this classic guide to critical tourism studies becomes even more useful to scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities. The Tourist Gaze 3.0 takes us on a detailed tour of the major concepts and approaches to one of the world's largest culture industries. With fresh insights and new materials, this collaboratively written revision will immediately become required reading for those who pay attention to the world of travel, mobility, and visual culture Caren Kaplan Professor of Cultural Studies, Science and Technology, UC Davis

A great classic remade to capture the lives of tourists in the 21st century. For two decades The Tourist Gaze has been one of the most influential books in tourist research. This new and thoroughly reworked version meets the challenges of a changing world of tourism and engages the lively contemporary debates in the field Orvar Löfgren Professor of European Ethnology, University of Lund

This thoroughly updated edition of John Urry's seminal contribution to tourist studies will engage a whole new generation of scholars. The extensive addition of new material absorbs and expands upon new insights from within this shifting field of study to develop an enhanced understanding of the tourist gaze. The fresh input of Jonas Larsen adds a renewed vibrancy to the debates which are, as ever, communicated in a brisk, inclusive and lucid fashion, and will ensure that The Tourist Gaze book retains its relevance for students and academics across the world Tim Edenso r Reader in Cultural Geography, Manchester Metropolitan University

The Tourist Gaze has been the most influential book on tourism in the last twenty years. This extensively revised edition serves to remind us both why the original was so important and engages with the massive developments in the literature it helped to spawn. The impressive updating in response to theoretical debates is matched only by the response to the profound shifts in tourism itself, its markets, technologies and organisation, which indicates how much value still lies in the arguments made Mike Crang Reader in Geography, Durham University

Few scholarly books manage to be deeply serious and highly entertaining, but The Tourist Gaze has been absorbing its readers for more than two decades. This newly expanded third edition of Urry's classic is a landmark in its own right; deepening and broadening its approach to the study of tourism in the era of the internet, global warming and peak oil. This book's rich blend of cultural history, political economy and social enquiry takes us to the heart of some of the most urgent issues of our time Meaghan Morris Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies, University of Sydney

The book covers a wide range of tourist-gaze interwoven topics such as theories; mass tourism; economies; working under the gaze; changing tourist cultures; places, buildings and design; vision and photography; performances; risks and futures which function as distinctive chapters within the book, along with an extremely generous bibliography and an index list...With an analytical discourse and the power of exemplification, the tacking of up-to-date emerging trends in tourist behavior and the authors’ genuine ability to read it, the book invites to a critical observation and meditation on today’s “society of spectacle” towards which tourism is heading to, meanwhile bringing a great contribution to tourism research and theoretical development GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites

Very relevant reading for our PG students...this subject matters crosses so many courses and units. This is Urry updated...what could be better?!

A classic work is back in its third edition. Urey and Larsen provide once again a deep insight in the psychological perspective of traveling and explain in a very appealing way the concept of the tourist gaze. Highly recommended to everyone that deals with these issues!!!

This book covers many topics from mass tourism to vision and photography. Highly recommended from tourism academics or tourism students doing research projects.

Recommended book for the course Tourism development and social and cultural impacts. This courses addresses Tourism theory in its first part. And this book is a classic on the field. Furthermore, this new and updated edition with Jonas Larsen incorporates new debates in a fast-paced changing issue such as tourism and mobility.

The book has become a classic text in travel and tourism studies and this new edition is yet another useful reference for academic, professionals and students in this multidisciplinary field!

The book is a good read in formulating an alternative and modern view of modern tourism but not suitable as a textbook for students' needs.

A classic text book which every Tourism student should have read, providing a good snapshot of tourist behaviour and society. This edition benefits from interesting and timely updates to the changing and dynamic tourism industry and how tourists are changing.

My students would find this book useful when they prepare a coursework.

A useful updated version of the tourism classic.

The Tourist’s Gaze: Revisited

  • Post author By Lucas
  • Post date September 25, 2020
  • 3 Comments on The Tourist’s Gaze: Revisited

Confirmation:

In the article “The Tourist’s Gaze: Revisited” John Urry presents and wonderfully articulates the concept of the tourist’s gaze to the reader. Urry meticulously breaks down first what the “gaze” is, and then how our gaze interacts with travel and the environment. I believe that he was correct in being critical of the tourist’s gaze as often times it can be both superficial and dangerous.

Sight is not seen as the noblest of the senses but as the most superficial, as getting in the way of real experiences that involve the other senses.

This quote truly makes me think of the negatives that are associated with many tourists in today’s day and age. There are many people who travel places just for the sake of checking off a list of sights. The most common place I see this is with Instagram where people feel compelled to document things just to seem more popular. People will go across the world and be in an amazing city, eating a beautiful meal, and not truly experience any of it because all that matters is getting the perfect visual instead of experiencing everything about where they are. One of the big lessons I took from this is that people need to explore the places they travel with all of their senses. Smell the flowers, taste the food, hear the sounds of the city or forest, feel the different textures of the area. To use your experience as a tourist in another place as just a way to see and collect images and sights then that is a waste.

Also, in much tourism there is the equivalent of looking at the mad behind bars. The bars can be the camera or the ethnic costumes or the quaint village that gets invaded every summer.

This part of the text made me think about how tourism and “sightseeing” can often be a source of dehumanization. People from other countries are made to be a spectacle for tourists and onlookers where they are expected to conform to stereotypes as a way to survive. While tourism is a benefit to many, the superficial art of it definitely has a dark side that hurts many, often those that are indigenous to different regions. If a tourist can take the extra step to truly experience and understand where they are visiting, I believe that is a step in the right direction.

Lucus, this is a strong confirmation, and I think you are on to something with Instragram. I also think you are on to something with regard to experiencing cultures with other senses, although the point of the “tourist gaze” is really that the gaze is a structured, Western way of seeing the world by essentializing other cultures, making them into object to be consumed in capitalist practices of tourism.

One way to improve: I found the selection of quotes rather ponderous. They don’t seem to be the best examples of the ideas that you attribute to them. In general, when you quote (as opposed to summarize or paraphrase), you should plan to linger on the words, unpacking their meaning. So, for example, as a reader, I find myself needing to know how you interpret the “bars” in that second quote–that metaphor really stands out. What does it mean?

Lucas I agree with your point as it is quite sad what social media has done. The finer things in life such as travel and special moments have turned into who can post their experiences the fastest and let everyone know what they are up to. People most definitely need to stop just focusing on what others will think and instead enjoy what life has to offer.

Hey Lucas, I totally agree with the Instagram comment, and it kind of reminds me of people that post summer pictures in the winter just to remind people that they travelled in the summer, but also to tack on some cheezy quote. I see this as a common western/American thing to do and I always found it interesting, annoying and wondered if the person just like you said, was just “checking off the list” for sights.

I also agree somewhat with the point of saying that tourists are dehumanizing, in the situation saying that tourists can add pressures for people to conform, or to be stereotypical.

I think this post is a good balance of quotes, metaphors, and messages.

Tourist Gaze Reconsidered

The term tourist gaze was coined initially to represent those superficial expectations that tourists have on destination communities; tourists impute their ideas of authentic experience upon destination residents and their social structure and see what they have predetermined to see. This is made more real when local communities consciously act out the desired roles for financial reasons. Thus, gaze leads to surreally authentic experiences. However, does this always happen? Say, in community-centered tourism where empowered destination communities choose tourists, tourists do not have the privilege to gaze. These communities might even be able to apply their own versions of gaze upon the tourists. Although we propose resident gaze here, it is not examined by any other serious researchers. In this chapter, we call for a critical relook at the literature on gaze. Another factor making us rethink gaze is the role of new forms of tourism such as virtual tourism. Say, how differently does gaze act upon in virtual environments? Finally, gaze may not be a unidirectional phenomenon, unlike how John Urry conceived it. There may be a reverse gaze , probably equal yet opposite in direction from the other side. Again, this is a new term that we propose for further investigation.
