Description
A study of the close and continuous relationship between two of modern culture's central phenomena: the photographic image and travel. Contributing to the growing literature of travel and its representations, the book argues that from the beginnings, photography has played a constitutive role in the formation of travel - comparable in importance to its part in the potrayal of social idenity. It shows how, in turn, travel has shaped the use and language of all types of photographuc production.Tags
