Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Travel and Imagination (2014) by Lean, Staiff and Waterton is an interesting read as part of the Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism series. editors have woven a text from nineteen contributors (profiles included). text also provides a list of figures and a detailed index. Additionally, each chapter includes a list of references. book is organized into fifteen chapters offered in four parts (244 pages). content parts are focused on (1) Mobile Identities, (2) Tales of Imagination, to (3) Visual, Media, Representation and (4) Unsettling Imaginations. A prelude chapter describes a traveller scenario imagining her dream destination and the resulting reality frames the book well. This general theme (what is imagined for travel) is repeated throughout the book in various ways. It is reminiscent of how a book and or a movie can allow the reader or viewer to conjure for themselves images of a destination. Brief examples could be Michener's Tales of the South Pacific and on the film side Casablanca. Who did not have images of place after reading or viewing these works? Beautiful islands and ocean breezes to the intrigue of the Casablanca market perhaps looking for Rick. discussions in the chapters lead the reader to various travels and tourism related topics and places which can include tourism in general, island tourism, marketing, branding and more.Travel and Imagination involves people, places, things and ideas about travel. What will the people be like at a destination, its food, music and environment and or atmosphere? book also relates travel and to family stories and memories of places a potential traveller may visit one day. Personally, this reviewer's family stories related to French Canada and Ireland (my own ethnic ancestry) provided the catalyst for imagining visits to specific locations. In this text the Caribbean and other destinations were used as the back drop for travel in several chapters.The text also provides conceptual and operational definitions of imagination and the related research surrounding that topic. review and sharing of literature on these various topics in the chapters is well done and useful. Numerous theories are shared in various chapters, for example, nonrepresentational theory (NRT) is introduced in Chapter 3. Additionally in Chapter 3, a section on Imagining Travel: In and Out of Body, denotes two types of an imagination: the practical and the free.The chapters also differ in their approach; some presented as straight discussions and others using diaries. diaries bridge the gap between what was imagined, what actually happened and what will be remembered. Chapter 4 takes an interesting approach 'Travel as Homemaking', and in the discussion examines the more mundane or what may be called today the drudgery of travel, waiting lines, being at the airport, security etc... One can also note from these discussions that travel, once exclusively for the rich has become more available to increasingly large parts of society, often through attending meetings, conferences and events.Chapter 5, Imagination of Travel Literature of Xavier de Maistre and its Philosophical Significance can lead the reader to popular topics such as topical book clubs, writing across the curriculum and a variety of other scholarly pursuits. Chapter 6, The Prominence of the Railroad in African American Imagination: Mobile Men, Gendered Mobility and the Poetry of Sterling A. Brown, offers a look at the era of the Pullman Porter inclusive of photographs and poetry, relating an important segment of travel history to inclusive of diversity and travel. This chapter discussion is reminds one of old travel advertisements (1920's) that left so much to the of the reader for travel experience and destinations. …
