In Being a Tourist, Harrison analyzes her conversations with a large group of upper-middle-class travellers. Why, she asks, do these people invest their resources -- financial, emotional, psychological, and physical -- in this activity? Harrison suggests that they are fuelled by several desires, including a search for intimacy and connection, an expression of personal aesthetic, an exploration of the understanding of \"home,\" and a sensemaking strategy for a globalized world. She also reflects on the moral and political complexities of the travels of these people. Being a Tourist draws on a wide range of social theory, going beyond current debates of authenticity and consumption. Engagingly and thoughtfully written, it will be required reading for those in anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and, more generally, for anyone interested in tourism studies and travel writing." . "What feeds the impulse to explore new horizons? What makes travel meaningful? Julia Harrison explores the motivations of a large group of middle-class travellers to find out why people invest their financial, emotional, psychological and physical resources in this activity. She suggests that they are fuelled by several desires: to find intimacy and connection; to express a personal aesthetic; to explore the idea of \"home\" and to make sense of an increasingly globalized world. Written for readers of travel writing, tourism studies, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology, the text goes beyond debates about authenticity and consumption to analyse the nuanced moral and political complexity of privileged travel." . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
