书籍介绍
这本书的真正锋利之处，在于它把「凝视」从一句时髦的社会学黑话，还原成一种可被追踪、可被历史化的权力技术。厄里和拉森没有停留在鲍德里亚、德波式的批判口号，而是回到一个反直觉的历史事实：阿尔卑山曾被视为丑陋、凶险、拒人千里的荒蛮之地，是「 picturesque tourism」这种观看方式，连同摄影、明信片和绘画，才把群山改造成了值得被消费的「风景」。换句话说，我们今天习以为常的「美景」，是被旅游这套视觉机制生产出来的，而非天然存在。读者最在意的正是这一点——它逼我们重新怀疑：那些被打上「瑞士」「丹麦瑞士」标签的目的地，究竟是谁的凝视在替它们定义价值。

读者共识
- 学术价值高，但阅读门槛较高，趣味相对不足

精彩摘录
- "While areas of wild, barren nature, which were once sources of sublime terror and fear, were transformed into what Raymond Williams terms ‘scenery, landscape, image, fresh air’, places waiting at a distance for visual consumption by those visiting from towns and cities full of ‘dark satanic mills’”"
- "Even before the end of the eighteenth century the Alps, which had been regarded as mountains of immense inhospitality, ugliness and terror, had become ‘civilised’”"
- "Picturesque tourism was instrumental in trans-forming the Alps and ‘mountainscapes’ throughout the globe into visually atractive places Picturesque tourism :"
- "Löfgren writes how tourists in Norway spoke of ‘Swiss views’ and American mountain resorts competed to become ‘the Switzerland of the USA’ (1999: 34). Larsen describes how Bornholm became inscribed with associations with the Alps, as ‘Denmark’s Switzerland’ (2006b). Also by the end of the eighteenth"
- "“Over the next century nature of all sorts came to be widely regarded as scenery, views and perceptual sensation, partly because of the Romantics: ‘Nature has largely to do with leisure and pleasure – tourism, spectacular entertainment, visual refreshment’ “"
- "When we ‘go away’ we look at the environment with interest and curiosity. It speaks to us in ways we appreciate, or at least we anticipate that it will do so."
- "The concept of the gaze highlights that looking is a learned ability and that the pure and innocent eye is a myth"
- "People gaze upon the world through a particular filter of ideas, skills, desires and expectations, framed by social class, gender, nationality, age and education. Gazing is a performance that orders, shapes and classifies, rather than reflects the world."

厄里再版的书直接加入另一个作者，提携后辈的器量真大啊。内容也切实地更新了。
从最早本雅明的“机械复制时代”到居伊•德波的“景象即商品”，我们已进入鲍德里亚的“虚拟影像”时代，消费主义无限发展，媒介技术制造炫目的景观近乎泛滥，从被看转向看的“凝视”成为消费运行的基本逻辑，深入到语言、符号、商品社会、影像呈现等广泛领域中。
1.(之前标错版本...)可以打六星吗！！！
2.“众人尽皆观光客，独我一个旅行人”这句话简直摧毁了一个伪文青的世界观。
3.什么该看，什么不该看，旅行中的一切仿佛是行礼如仪。
4.我们只想体验快乐，旅游地的生老病死最好通通当做不存在。
5.摄影也是一种规训
