Death Tourism: Disaster Sites as Recreational Landscape: Enactments
Editat de Brigitte Sionen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 2014
Auschwitz.
Hiroshima.
Cambodia’s
killing
fields.
The
World
Trade
Center.
The
mass
graves
of
Rwanda.
These
places
of
violent
death
have
become
part
of
the
recreational
landscape
of
tourism,
an
industry
that
is
otherwise
dedicated
to
pleasure
and
escape.
In
dark
places
like
concentration
camps,
prisons,
battlegrounds,
and
the
sites
of
natural
disasters,
how
are
memory
and
trauma
mediated
bythanotourism,
or
tourism
of
death?
InDeath
Tourism,
Brigitte
Sion
brings
together
essays
by
some
of
the
most
trenchant
voices
in
the
field
to
look
at
the
tensions
created
by
the
juxtaposition
of
human
remains
and
food
stands,
political
agendas
and
educational
programs,
economic
development
and
architectural
ambition.
How
does
a
state
redefine
its
national
identity
after
catastrophic
trauma?
And
what
is
the
role
of
this
kind
of
tourism
in
defining
their
new
identity?
A
timely
volume
on
an
irresistible
subject,
this
inquiry
exposes
the
intersection
of
leisure
with
the
inhumane,
giving
insight
into
how
people
respectfully
share
a
public
space
that
is
both
free
and
sacred,
compelling
and
tragic.

Recenzii
“The
examination
of
tourism
at
the
fifteen
locations
covered
in
the
book
frequently
makes
for
uncomfortable
reading.
But
the
deeply
thoughtful
ways
some
of
the
most
disturbing
material
is
examined
confirm
Sion’s
conclusion
that
‘These
sensitive
topics
clearly
override
quick
judgement
about
death
tourism,
which
is
often
denounced
as
kitsch,
cheap
thrills
and
macabre
business’:
death
tourism
is
both
complex
and
deserving
of
serious
scholarship.”
"This
book
is
a
significant
contribution
to
death
(and
trauma)
studies,
but
it
also
joins
broader
work that explores the relationship between human life and place."
