| Abstract: | In this article, media consumption and touristic consumption are regarded as two contexts of spatial appropriation. Distinguishing three principal modes of spatial appropriation, it is argued that tourism and media consumption tend to follow a shared logic inherent to people's lifestyles. In extension, the 'end of tourism' thesis is contested. Empirical evidence stresses that people uphold the distinction btw. simulations and 'real experiences'. Rather than substituting physical travel, mediated spatial phantasmagoria reinforces the desire for 'first-hand tourism'. |
