The Rise of Thana-Capitalism and Tourism

Bag om The Rise of Thana-Capitalism and Tourism

This book explores the notion of an emergent class of 'death seekers' who consume the spectacle of the disaster, exploring spaces of mass death and suffering. Sites that are obliterated by disasters or tragic events are recycled and visually consumed by an international audience, creating a death seekers economy. The quest for the suffering of others has captivated the attention of many tourists, visiting sites such as concentration camps, disasters zones, abandoned prisons, and areas hit by terrorism. This compelling book will be interest to students and scholars researching dark tourism, tourist behaviour, disaster studies, cultural studies and sociology.
