description

In this Bachelor’s thesis the emphasis is to experiment the ways in which commodificated cultural representations can be captured and examined through the use of visual ethnography as well as expand the current understanding on Dean MacCannell’s theory on the six stages of authenticity set forward in his book The Tourist: A new theory of the leisure class (2013). The visual material for the thesis was collected from Agadir, Morocco in 2014.
