In Authentic New Orleans, Kevin Fox Gotham explains how New Orleans became a tourist town, a spectacular locale known as much for its excesses as for its quirky Southern charm. Gotham begins in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina amid the whirlwind of speculation about the rebuilding of the city and the dread of outsiders wiping New Orleans clean of the grit that made it great. He continues with the origins of Carnival and the Mardi Gras celebration in the nineteenth century, showing how, through careful planning and promotion, the city constructed itself as a major tourist attraction. By examining various image-building campaigns and promotional strategies to disseminate a palatable image of New Orleans on a national scale Gotham ultimately establishes New Orleans as one of the originators of the mass tourism industry—which linked leisure to travel, promoted international expositions, and developed the concept of pleasure travel. Gotham shows how New Orleans was able to become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States, especially through the transformation of Mardi Gras into a national, even international, event. All the while Gotham is concerned with showing the difference between tourism from above and tourism from below—that is, how New Orleans’ distinctiveness is both maximized, some might say exploited, to serve the global economy of tourism as well as how local groups and individuals use tourism to preserve and anchor longstanding communal traditions.ExhibitionsLouisianaNew OrleansHistoryCarnivalLouisianaNew OrleansHistoryCulture and tourismLouisianaNew OrleansHistoryTourismLouisianaNew OrleansHistoryCity promotionLouisianaNew OrleansHistoryNew Orleans (La.)Social life and customsNew Orleans (La.)HistoryElectronic books.ExhibitionsHistory.CarnivalHistory.Culture and tourismHistory.TourismHistory.City promotionHistory.306.09763Gotham Kevin Foxauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut473732DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910480458803321Authentic New Orleans249267UNINA03312nam 2200625 a 450 99620208530331620230111234523.01-280-78335-497866136937470-470-72002-60-470-71769-6(CKB)1000000000688065(EBL)703844(OCoLC)797918292(SSID)ssj0000715067(PQKBManifestationID)11416300(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000715067(PQKBWorkID)10700467(PQKB)10432594(MiAaPQ)EBC703844(Au-PeEL)EBL703844(CaPaEBR)ebr10575525(CaONFJC)MIL369374(EXLCZ)99100000000068806520740429d1973 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe human lens - in relation to cataractAmsterdam ;New York Elsevier19731 online resource (336 pages)Ciba Foundation symposium (new series) ;19"Symposium on the Human Lens--in Relation to Cataract held at the Ciba Foundation, London, 30th January-1st February 1973"--Participants page.0-470-66312-X 90-219-4020-5 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.The Human Lens- in Relation to Cataract;
