Architecture and Tourism in Italian Colonial Libya: An Ambivalent Modernism
- Literature, Film, the Arts
Topics:
1998 IDRF Fellow Brian McLaren’s book is about the construction of tourist experience in colonial Libya through representations produced by and for modern Italian society. Because it is considered as a complex cultural formation, architecture has a role in the construction of that experience. The thrust of the book is the interaction and perception of the modern West represented by Fascist Italy with the indigenous culture of Libya under the aegis of a modern tourist system.
