My Two Cents

Hi, all. This is fantastically helpful, Alexis, thanks! And thanks, too, for setting up the blog.

I hope everybody is enjoying Reading Week. I just wanted to stop by our blog briefly and add that I'm gathering some books for more context about our topic and will try to post info from them that may also be helpful to you in your analysis, etc.

One of these ideas is that of the "tourist gaze," and another is that of "the Other," which I'm hoping to tie in to some of the consumer motivations stuff we've been reading about in class. I think we'll need to make links between these very cool topics re: tourism and selling a destination, and the theoretical stuff re: consumption we've covered.

I will make some more detailed notes once I have the rest of the books in my hot little hands. Talk to you soon,

J.
