Copies, reinterpretations, and simulacra still constitute some of the most familiar and popular tourist attractions in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome reinterpret archetypes such as the ancient palace, the Renaissance villa, or the Mediterranean village. Others duplicate the cities in which we lived in the past or we still live today. And others realise perceptions of utopias such as Shangri-La, Eden, or Paradise. Replicas - duplitecture - and simulacra can have symbolic meaning for tourists, as merely inspiring an atmosphere or as truly authentic, and their relationship to original functions, for worship, accommodation, leisure, or shopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTourism and Architectural Simulacra questions and rethinks the different environments constructed or adapted both for and by tourism exploring the relationship between the architectural inspiration and its reproduction within the tourist bubble. The wide range of geographical areas, eras, and subjects in this book show that the expositions of simulacra and hyper reality by Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Eco are surpassed by our complex world. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach they offer original insights of the complex relationship between tourism and architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Tourism and Cultural Change.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nelson Graburn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367694573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367694579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Nelson Graburn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064857440511,"sku":"9780367694579","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bda99c0e-94eb-4c8e-ad3a-0e174370f8d3.jpg?v=1768671502","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tourism-and-architectural-simulacra-nelson-graburn-9780367694579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
