The Global Politics of Contemporary Travel Writing
No full textTo what extent do bestselling travel books, such as those by Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, Bruce Chatwin and Michael Palin, tell us as much about world politics as newspaper articles, policy documents and press releases? Debbie Lisle argues that the formulations of genre, identity, geopolitics and history at work in contemporary travel writing are increasingly at odds with a cosmopolitan and multicultural world in which ‘everybody travels’. Despite the forces of globalisation, common stereotypes about ‘foreignness’ continue to shape the experience of modern travel. The Global Politics of Contemporary Travel Writing is concerned with the way contemporary travelogues engage with, and try to resolve, familiar struggles in global politics such as the protection of human rights, the promotion of democracy, the management of equality within multiculturalism and the reduction of inequality. This is a thoroughly interdisciplinary book that draws from international relations, literary theory, political theory, geography, anthropology and history
Entanglements of War and Tourism
No full textThe violent practices of war and the leisured practices of tourism are not opposed, but rather deeply entangled. Exposing those connections reveals that both practices reproduce prevailing modes of difference and domination. Lisle explores the ways of seeing and interacting that characterize the experience of soldiers-turned-tourists and tourists in war zones.</p
Holidays in the Danger Zone: Entanglements of War and Tourism
No full textA timely, and uniquely historical, look at how war turns soldiers, and all of us, into tourists. Holidays in the Danger Zone exposes the mundane and everyday entanglements between two seemingly opposed worlds—warfare and tourism. Debbie Lisle shows how a tourist sensibility shapes the behavior of soldiers in warespecially the experiences of Western military forces in “exotic” settings. This includes not only R&R but also how battlefields themselves become landscapes of leisure and tourism. It further explores how a military sensibility shapes the development of tourism in the postwar context, from “Dark Tourism” (engaging with displays of conflict and atrocity) to exhibitions of conflict in museums and at memorial sites, as well as in advertising, film, journals, guidebooks, blogs, and photography. Focused on how war and tourism reinforce prevailing modes of domination, Holidays in the Danger Zone critically examines the long historical arc of the war-tourism nexus from nineteenth-century imperialism to World War I and World War II, from the Cold War to globalization and the War on Terror

Travis had a fast ride to the top decorating and design world, making the most of her opportunities as she went.

Double dipping in the house and home industry allowed Debbie to follow her two passions of television and home decorating while being very successful at both (Debbie Travis, 2013). When Travis was becoming a known personality in the decorating lifestyle industry, many people asked her, “How did you manage to get on Oprah?” Debbie’s answer was pretty simple, “I asked.” Travis was not afraid of the producers or talk show hosts saying, “No.” She figured there was no harm in asking. Her theory only proved to be successful as she was on all four shows with great success and response from the experience.
