Socio-Political Motivation of Experiential Travel Education in the 18Th, 19Th and 20Th Centuries: the Grand Tour, World’S Fairs and Birthright Israel Socio-political Motivation of Experiential Travel Education in the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries: The Grand Tour, World’s Fairs and Birthright Israel Edward Porges A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Joy Williamson-Lott, Chair Maresi Nerad Ralina L. Joseph Walter Parker Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education ©Copyright 2017 Edward Porges University of Washington Abstract Socio-political Motivation of Experiential Travel Education in the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries: The Grand Tour, World’s Fairs and Birthright Israel Edward Porges Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Joy Williamson-Lott College of Education The purpose of this study is to illustrate that travel as experiential education, though not always obvious, often has political or cultural intent or ramifications. Objectives such as promoting cosmopolitanism, nationalism and imperialism, and colonialism may then become obvious by examination of various experiential education travel programs, past and present. This thesis will examine three examples of travel-oriented experiential education with political and social objectives from three different centuries: The Grand Tour of the 18th century, World’s Fairs of the 19th century, and Birthright Israel in the 20th and 21st centuries. These examples were chosen for study to emphasize that 1) travel, despite recently being recognized as such, is a form of experiential education that goes back at least three centuries; 2) experiential travel education perceived to be a cultural or fun experience may have a socio-political agenda as well; 3) experiential travel education can be focused upon different constituencies, from a single person to a small, specific group to the public masses; 4) the Grand Tour, World’s Fairs and Birthright Israel change in terms of their original educational mission. The findings suggest that social and political aims are often incorporated or stated objectives to travel experiential education. In the three examples studied, there are political components to the Grand Tour, World’s Fairs, and Birthright Israel. The research also showed that the mission of these first two examples morphed due to changes in the social and political nature of the times whereas the goals of Birthright Israel, given its newness, presently remains the same. Also revealed is that travel as experiential education is not a recent innovation, but by definition, goes back to previous centuries. It is, however, only since the last half of the 20th century that the term experiential education has been recognized and applied. Further, travel as experiential education is universally applicable whether an individual, a group, or the masses.

  • The History of Tourism: Structures on the Path to Modernity by Ueli Gyr
    The History of Tourism: Structures on the Path to Modernity by Ueli Gyr Various academic disciplines have repeatedly sought to re-evaluate the significance of tourism. Globalised tourism's so- cio-economic place within the framework of the leisure and holidaying opportunities on offer today has attracted particu- lar attention. Such accounts often leave out the fact that this also has a history. The present article aims to overcome this shortcoming: it seeks to present an overview of the important structures, processes, types and trends of tourism against the background of historical developments. It deals with early forms of travel in the classical world and the Mid- dle Ages, as well as the precursors of modern tourism, Bildungsreisen ("educational journeys") and the middle-class culture of travel. It then examines the boom in mass tourism in the 19th century and the unique expansion of tourism in the 1960s characterised by new forms of holidaying and experience shaped by globalisation. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Tourism as a Globalised System 2. Early Forms of Travel and Types of Journey 3. Precursors of Modern Tourism 4. The Foundations of Modern Tourism 5. The Boom in Mass Tourism in the 19th Century 6. Holidaying Practices in the Interwar Period 7. The Expansion of Tourism and Globalisation 8. Appendix 1. Bibliography 2. Notes Citation Tourism as a Globalised System Tourism is often seen as a global phenomenon with an almost incomprehensibly massive infrastructure. Its importance is evident from the fact that its influence thoroughly penetrates society, politics, culture and, above all, the economy. In- deed, this is the branch of the global economy with the most vigorous growth: the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) estimates that in 2007 it encompassed 903 million tourists who spent 625 billion US dollars.1 They thereby supported a global system with roughly 100 million employees in the modern leisure and experience industry.

Each week your host Katy Clarke takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes of history, culture, wine, gelato, and, of course, a whole lot of pasta. If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there, you've come to the right place. Katy Buon giorno! Ciao! Hi everyone, It’s Katy here and today I am wondering whether you’ve ever done a Grand Tour of Italy? If you’re not sure what I am talking about then today’s episode will reveal all as we dive into a another trip report from one of our listeners. So what is a Grand Tour of Italy? Well this is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years to the 17th century when well to do English gentlemen and later American men and women would travel to Europe as a rite of passage on becoming an adult. While their trips took them to France and Greece they would spend most of their time exploring Italy - in particular Rome, Florence and Venice. Back in those days the trips would last months and involve deep exploration of the cities as part of a rounded education for the elite classes. As steam trains arrived in Europe in the 19th century, this opportunity opened up to the middle classes and is best described in EM Forster’s beautiful novel A Room with A View which just happens to be one of my favorite books of all time.

FASHION AND IDENTITY IN GEORGIAN BRITAIN: THE GRAND TOUR PORTRAITS OF POMPEO BATONI by Matthew M. L. Rogan A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Art History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2015 ABSTRACT FASHION AND IDENTITY IN GEORGIAN BRITAIN: THE GRAND TOUR PORTRAITS OF POMPEO BATONI by Matthew M. L. Rogan The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Professor Tanya Tiffany Portrait artist to popes, royalty, and nobility, Pompeo Batoni was hailed as the premier portrait painter in Rome during his career in the mid to late eighteenth century. Batoni’s reputation as the de rigueur portraitist amongst wealthy British Grand Tourists was solidified by the late 1750s, and he dominated this market until his death in 1787. This thesis will examine the different types of fashion displayed in Batoni’s Grand Tour portraits, and argue that many of the Georgian men depicted paid great attention to their dress and how it augmented their self-fashioned identities.

  • Ideology and Utopia Along the Backpacker Trail
    Responsibly Engaged: Ideology and Utopia along the Backpacker Trail By Sonja Bohn Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology (2012) Abstract By following the backpacker trail beyond the „tourist bubble,‟ travellers invest in the ideals of freedom, engagement, and responsibility. Backpacker discourse foregrounds travellers‟ freedom to mobility as it constructs the world as „tourable‟; engagement is demonstrated in the search for „authentic‟ connections with cultural Others, beyond the reach of globalised capitalism; responsibility is shouldered by yearning to improve the lives of these Others, through capitalist development. While backpackers frequently question the attainability of these ideals, aspiring to them reveals a desire for a world that is open, diverse, and egalitarian. My perspective is framed by Fredric Jameson‟s reading of the interrelated concepts of ideology and utopia. While backpacker discourse functions ideologically to reify and obscure global inequalities, to entrench free market capitalism, and to limit the imagining of alternatives, it also figures for a utopian world in which such ideology is not necessary. Using this approach, I attempt to undertake critique of backpacker ideology without invalidating its utopian content, while seeking to reveal its limits. Overall, I suggest that late- capitalism subsumes utopian desires for a better way of living by presenting itself as the solution. This leaves backpackers feeling stranded, seeking to escape the ills of capitalism, via capitalism. ii Acknowledgements I am grateful to the backpackers who generously shared their travel stories and reflections for the purposes of this research, I wish you well on your future journeys.

  • From Batoni's Brush to Canova's Chisel: Painted and Sculpted Portraiture at Rome, 1740-1830 Volume One of Two: Text Maeve O'dwy
    From Batoni's Brush to Canova's Chisel: Painted and sculpted portraiture at Rome, 1740-1830 Volume One of Two: Text Maeve O'Dwyer PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2016 I, Maeve O'Dwyer, ________________________________, hereby declare that the work contained within has been composed by me and is entirely my own work. No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the city of Rome as a primary context of British sociability and portrait identity during the period from 1740 to 1830. Part I considers the work of the portrait painter Pompeo Batoni. It examines the pictorial record of grand tourist sociability at Rome in the 1750s, questioning the complex articulation of nationality among British visitors, and the introduction of overt references to antiquity in the portraiture of Pompeo Batoni. It subsequently interrogates Batoni's use of the partially nude Vatican Ariadne sculpture in five portraits of male grand tourists, dating from Charles John Crowle in 1762, to Thomas William Coke in 1774. Part II of this thesis considers the realities of viewing the sculpted body at Rome, recreating the studios of sculptors Christopher Hewetson and Antonio Canova. It posits the studio space as a locus of sociability for British visitors to Rome, drawing on the feminine gaze in the form of the early nineteenth-century writings of Charlotte Eaton and Lady Murray. The final chapter moves from the focus on British sitters to examine sculpture by Antonio Canova, framing it within a wider discourse of masculinity and propriety.

The Trump Administration is carrying out a new form of American rejectionism powered by four horsemen of economic instability: first, the rejection of the international rule of law; second, the rejection of open markets; third, the rejection of economic peace in favour of perpetual economic war; and fourth, the rejection of the global interest. The analysis herein shows how these four rejectionist policies are harming the United States, other countries, and the global order.
