Camera Portablilis -- Powers of Reverie -- Worlds in a House -- Paradox Amusements: Tourism and The Modern Image -- Travel Products: Promoting Tourist Vision -- Sabulous: The Beach and Self Display -- Fixing Arcadia -- Neither Here nor There: Photographers, Exiles, the Faces of Strangers -- The Appearance of Disappearance.
Summary: "This is a thoroughly illustrated 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 its beginnings, photography has played a constitutive role in the formation of travel--comparable in importance to its part in the portrayal of social identity. It shows how, in turn, travel has shaped the use and language of all types of photographic production."--Publisher description.
