Course Description:
Travel has always been part of human history, from early migrations, voyages of exploration, mercantile adventures, armed expeditions, as well as the need for individual travel, which flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries as the Grand Tour to Italy and Greece. Mass tourism soon followed and came to dominate travel in the 20th and 21st centuries. This course will explore the history of travel in all these forms, with an emphasis on discussing how travel changes the self-understanding of tourists and what tourists actually learn from the experience of travel, particularly in the age of Instagram and influencers. |
