Conference Update
Tourism & Photography: Still Visions - Changing Lives
Sheffield, UK, 20-23 July 2003
Only one month left to our annual research conference
on 'Tourism and Photography'! Please find a draft
programme and additional information including a
registration form at our website
www.tourism-culture.com.
'Tourism & Photography' is organised by the Centre for
Tourism & Cultural Change (CTCC) at Sheffield Hallam
University on 20-23 July 2003. Its aim is to
critically discuss photography as an element of the
tourism experience and as a force capable to changing
the identity of peoples and images of place. It will
be the first time that a major international research
conference focuses on the interrelationship of tourism
and photography.
We are currently expecting around 140 international
academics and art & cultural practitioners to join the
conference. Around 90 papers organised in no more than
three parallel sessions will draw upon a number of
disciplines including: anthropology, photography, art
history, tourism, cultural geography, aesthetics,
sociology, psychology, political sciences and
marketing. The event will also be open to
photographers, travel writers, research students and
representatives of the regional arts und cultural
sectors interested in the tourism-photography debate.
Photographer Martin Parr will be one of our keynote
speakers. Martin has published different works on
tourism and the tourist (e.g. "Small Worlds") and is
associated with Magnum Photos. He has also been the
curator of the John Hinde Butlin's Postcard Exhibition
recently held at the Photographer's Gallery in London.
