Aesthetic cognition of society: modern and postmodern representations in contemporary non-fiction

Patterns of representation in travel writing, travel guides, journalism and memoir are shown to amount to aesthetic cognition by comparison to social science analogues.

Il est démontré que certains schémas de représentation dans les genres récit de voyage, guide de voyage, journalisme et mémoires constituent cognition esthétique, en les comparant avec analogues dans les sciences sociales. Leur postmodernité met en question la factualité supposée de ces genres. Les récits de voyage et les guides de voyage utilisent le passé de manière inattendue si on considère qu’ils sont censés être centrés au présent. Les schémas montrent potentiel opérationnel pour le test empirique des limites temporelles usuelles de la période postmoderne. Enfin, ce sont des formes modernes et postmodernes d’engagement cognitif entre touristes et touristes potentiels avec le monde social, et ils complémentent les principales théories de la motivation touristique. Se demuestra que ciertos patrones de representación en los géneros literatura de viaje, guía de viaje, periodismo y memoria constituyen cognición estética, al compararlos con patrones análogos usados en las ciencias sociales. La posmodernidad de los patrones cuestiona la supuesta factualidad de esos géneros. La esperada orientación de la literatura de viaje y de las guías de viaje al presente es cuestionada por como utilizan el pasado. Los patrones revelan potencial operacional para probar empíricamente los límites temporales habituales del período posmoderno. Finalmente, los patrones son formas modernas y posmodernas de relación cognitiva con lo social por parte de turistas y aspirantes a turistas, complementando las principales teorías de motivación turística.

Aesthetic cognition of society: modern and postmodern representations in contemporary non-fiction
description Patterns of representation in travel writing, travel guides, journalism and memoir are shown to amount to aesthetic cognition by comparison to social science analogues. Their postmodernity questions the supposed factuality of those genres. Travel writing and travel guides’s expected orientation to the present is contested by how the past is used. The patterns show operational potential for empirical testing of usual temporal boundaries of the postmodern. Finally, they are forms of modern and postmodern cognitive engagement of tourists and would-be tourists with society, complementing major theories of tourist motivation.
