520 1 _a"In Ocean Travel and Cruising: A Cultural Analysis, author Arthur Asa Berger turns his eye to the phenomenon of ocean cruising. This book brings a multidisciplinary cultural studies approach to the subject. It examines ocean cruising from economic, sociological, semiotic, psychoanalytic, and marketing perspectives, offering insights not provided by the more traditional sociological approaches to the subject. You'll explore cruise demographics, the relationship between cruising and gender, the sociology of dining on cruise ships, hedonism and pleasure seeking, the "compulsion to cruise," consolidation in the industry, the exploitation of workers on cruise ships, and a great deal more."--BOOK JACKET.
