Andru Okun Wonders If We’re in the Middle of a Second “Memory Emergency”
March 11, 2021
As a sociocultural and material force, tourism is so large as to be incomprehensible. The difficulty of understanding it in full requires us to break it down into parts, an exercise not unlike the act of travel itself: We can’t fully take in the places we visit, so we instead form impressions from bits and pieces.
