“…Indeed, there has been a proliferation of tourism research that has adopted postcolonial perspectives (Caton & Santos, 2008;d'Hauteserre, 2011;Echtner & Prasad, 2003;Hall & Tucker, 2004;Jacobs, 2010;Phillips, 2008;Tucker, 2010;Tucker & Akama, 2009;Wearing & Wearing, 2006).

This paper critically explores decolonial theory and its relevance for tourism studies. We suggest that while postcolonial and related critical theoretical perspectives furthered understandings of the consequences of colonisation, such critical theorising has not provided an epistemological perspective of tourism which legitimises the cosmologies of, and actively empowers, traditionally marginalised groupings. We review published tourism research which adopts critical and postcolonial perspectives, and argue that while these have been valuable in terms of exposing the existence and effects of dominant discourses and practices in tourism, their emancipatory objectives are limited because tourism knowledge is still predominantly colonial. Epistemological decolonisation is thus presented as a more radical project which can provide an 'other' way of thinking, being and knowing about tourism.

“…In particular, scholars of tourism have observed how visitors reproduce iconic destination images in their own photographic practices. This process has been described as "closing the hermeneutic circle"; prior exposure to imagery frames places in particular ways and this creates specific expectations about a place which then forms the metric by which subsequent experiences of that place are judged (Caton & Santos 2008;Crang 2003;Hunter 2008). By this interpretation, tourists travel to reaffirm prior expectations, often rationalized as "authenticity" and documented through photography.…”

“…In recent work, scholars of tourism have focused on the way in which visitors take photographs which reproduce the iconic views which drew them to the destination in the first place (Caton & Santos 2008). However, visitor photographs of the Wall are not completely determined by such views (Edensor 2001).…”

AbstractHadrian"s Wall is one of the most instantly recognizable ancient monuments in the UK. This paper explores the historical and contemporary visualization practices which have created this iconic image. Moving between the disciplines of archaeology, cultural geography, and heritage and tourism studies, the paper draws upon a variety of data sources such as paintings, photographs, models and reconstructions to consider how the Wall is visually represented within contemporary public discourse. The paper focuses on digital photography and considers the ways in which images create and sustain particular readings of the Wall"s function and significance. These contemporary representational practices demonstrate strong continuities and earlier images are used to provide historical context. Emphasis is placed on the monument"s landscape setting in visual representations and the importance of this environmental context for readings of the Wall"s cultural and political significance. The present paper deals primarily with representations of the Wall, but it is argued that these representational practices are also fundamentally embodied. The physical encounters of visitors and archaeologists will be considered in greater detail in the second part of this study (Witcher in press).

“…El método más antiguo y más ampliamente aceptado de acceso y análisis de imágenes turísticas ha sido el VEP (Visitor Employed Photography), es decir usar a los turistas como fotógrafos -empleados (Haywood, 1990;Mackay y Couldwell, 2004;Caton y Santos, 2008;Garrod, 2008). El VEP es una técnica en la que los turistas ofrecen a los investigadores las fotografías que han realizado a lo largo de un viaje.…”
