Recent years have seen an explosive growth in the phenomenon of
people visiting locations from popular novels, films or television
series. Places of the Imagination presents a timely and insightful
analysis of this form of media tourism, exploring the question of
how best to explain the increasing popularity of media tourism
within contemporary culture. Drawing on extensive empirical and
interview material, this book examines the representation of
landscapes in popular narratives that have inspired media tourism,
whilst also investigating the effects over time of such tourism on
local landscapes, and the processes by which tourists appropriate
the landscape, experiencing and accommodating them into their
imagination. Oriented around three central case studies of popular
television detective shows, famous films and classic literature,
Places of the Imagination develops a new theoretical understanding
of media tourism. As such, it will appeal to sociologists and
cultural geographers, as well as those working in the fields of
media and cultural studies, popular and fan culture, tourism and
the sociology of leisure.
