>
> TOURISM AND THE MEDIA
>
> This one day, multi-disciplinary, international conference explores the
> interactions between the media and tourism as practice, contemporary
> culture, business, regional and national identity. the event follows the
> very successful conference in May 2000, to be published 2001 by Berg [eds
> Crouch and Lubbren] as Visual Culture and Tourism.
>
> Travelling informs past and contemporary media culture and the content of
> media culture is profound in shaping who travels and with what ideas and
> desires. Nature, ideas of home, the other, the self, leisure, and the
> modern, circulate different values, roles of consumption, environments,
> and ways of seeing and practising the world. Thus, tourism and the media
> becomes exciting, contested ground. This conference intends to bring
> together the practice of tourists; the representation of tourism; the
> study of tourism; the business of both media and tourism.
>
> The conference will be structured around three strands which provide a
> platform to investigate and foreground these divergent concerns across the
> academic, cultural and business worlds. The strands will examine the
> integral relationships of contemporary tourism and media. Themes will
> explore eg, the negotiation of place, space, and cultures, demonstrating
> how each may form significant means through which culture is transformed,
> businesses transacted, and ideas transmitted. So, a diverse number of
> papers will cover areas, such as: tourism promotion by television holiday
> programmes; the role of heritage films in tourism promotion and practice;
> the relationship of music to place; cultures of tourism and the media; the
> representation and perception of national and regional identity via
> tourism and the media.
>
> The three conference strands will be: Tourism and the Mediation of Place
> and Space; Tourism, the Media and National Identity; and Tourism Practice
> and the Media.
>
> The Conference will be held at Cromford Mill, Cromford, just north of
> Derby, and close to the of television location for Peak Practice.
