The Tourists Gaze, The Cretans Glance
Angebote / Angebote:
As researchers bring their analytic skills to bear on contemporary archaeological tourism, they find that it is as much about the present as the past. Philip Dukeas study of tourists gazing at the remains of Bronze Age Crete highlights this nexus between past and present, between exotic and mundane. Using personal diaries, ethnographic interviews, site guidebooks, and tourist brochures, Duke helps us understand the impact that archaeological sites, museums and the constructed past have on touristsa view of their own culture, how it legitimizes class inequality at home as well as on the island of Crete, both Minoan and modern.
