[ecrea] Tourism Visuality and Memory

*Call for papers*

 From the early days of the Grand Tour and the collecting of paintings
and drawings, to the advent of the first still and movie cameras, via
postcards, travel posters and travel documentaries to our contemporary
use of digital cameras, camcorders, camera phones and travel blogs,
tourism has always been intertwined with the technology of visual
imagery. The use of such technology is more than a means to simply
record and remember events and places, as it is embedded in complex
social practices that encompass notions of both private and cultural
memory as much as the creation and consumption of leisure time/spaces.

The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to examine the
relationship between tourism, personal and cultural memory and the
technologies of visual imagery in a number of interrelated ways: first,
to focus on the social practices involved in the production and
consumption of tourist imagery in both contemporary and historical
contexts; and secondly, to address the relationship between public and
private memory and tourist imagery, and thirdly, to address the use of
visual methods in tourism research.

Possible themes include film and TV tourism, including documentaries and
films about tourism; the ways in which the visual informs tourist
behaviour; the use of personal photographs, home movies and videos; the
use of digital images in travel blogs; using photography and video as a
research method; analysing photo and film archives and tourism history;
analysing postcards and visual memorabilia such as travel posters and
other ephemera.

We welcome contributions from a range of disciplines including
filmmakers/video producers and photographers who have focussed on
tourism or who have worked with the tourism industry in the production
of visual promotional material.

*Submissions:*  Abstracts of no more than 250 words can be submitted to
