Content:
Every James Bond film can be considered as a journey to take the viewer to a tourist elsewhere: from the first films of the 1960s-true postcards of exotic locations for the Western viewer-to the latest episodes of the saga-more related to exclusive luxury tourism experiences, the archetypal representations of tourism encountered in the James Bond films are exemplary case studies for analyzing the role of cinema in promoting travel destinations.
This workshop aims to explore how the saga reflects, and at the same time influences, the evolution of tourism practices and their narratives, offering a mirror of cultural change within contemporary Western societies.
