Abstract

The urban tourist has a quite particular sensibility, mode of behaviour, and way of sensing the city. This is the result of negotiation between tourist media, specifically the tourist map, and the actual lived terrain. This paper uses experimental writing practices to attempt a new mode of representing and narrativizing urban experience, between map and territory. Using both the writerly form and scholarly content of Eeva Jokinen and Soile Veijola's seminal essay, “The Body in Tourism”, as a point of departure, the paper attempts to bridge the discipline of critical tourism studies, and recent innovations in writing space and experience.
