Literature and Tourism

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentation

Description

Lecture based on my BA/MA course, Literature and Tourism.

By studying the interaction between tourism and literature, I examine how literary depictions of the Faroe Islands have been used in tourist campaigns and ask questions such as: what impact does the exploitation of literary depictions have on the cultural and literary landscape in the Faroe Islands – and how is that impact reflected in contemporary literature?
