The Deconstruction and Re-cognition of Tourist Gaze
Tourist gaze is a widely concerned concept in tourism research.There has been rich academic accumulation on this issue,with two tendencies deserving attention,one is that tourist gaze has been equated constantly with tourism gaze,and the other is that the visual aspects of tourist gaze are overemphasized.This study aimed to inquire into the concept of tourist gaze purely from the perspective of tourists and to discuss its relationship between their social needs through reading John Urry's books and reviewing related literature.The study found that,contrary to the original intention of escaping from the"usual environment",tourists as"social beings"can intervene in society and social relations through their gaze.Factors such as the sense of participation,shame and belonging are all reasons that trigger the gaze,while the gaze also plays an important role in the integration of individuals into the group.In the time dimension,the evolution of the tourist gaze can be divided into pre-site gaze,on-site gaze and off-site gaze.The psychological and emotional changes derived from the evolution of tourists'gaze during the process,which developed an emotional line containing hope,satisfaction,contradiction,resistance and compromise.The interaction of these emotional lines promotes the evolution and adjustment of the gazed objects,showing how the internal and external power generated by tourism activities through tourist gaze impact social construction.
