“…of the feminine mind, locked up in a masculine body'. 21 Similarly, Fuller's life and works demonstrate his interest in travelling to natural landscapes (waterfronts, specifically) as a means of adhering to patterns of white bourgeois leisure while mobilising critiques of the gender, sexual and economic norms that he associated with an increasingly commercialised Chicago society. Although Fuller's poetry suggests that complete escape from masculine capitalist norms comes only with death (as in a piece titled 'Ready for Rest') or in the realm of fantasy (in 'Toward the New World'), he attempted -in spite of his limited mobility -to locate nonurban alternatives to Chicago within the Midwest.…”

This article reviews work that challenges heteronormativity in tourism studies primarily from, but not restricted to, the discipline of geography. Indeed, tourism studies has benefited greatly from the growth of interdisciplinary research between geography, anthropology, sociology, as well as more recent interactions with queer, gender and leisure studies. In this context, as geographers, our aim is to use an explicitly geographical perspective to provide critical insights into recent research which contests, reinforces, or omits to challenge heteronormative positions in tourism studies. To this end, we provide four thematic `locations', or scales, through which to review progress of this inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary literature: the globalization of sexuality; marketing the (homo)sexualized nation; touring the (homo)sexualized city; and the tourist body as a gendered and sexed subject.

Edward Said and others have identified the Orient as a space of sexual opportunity for western travelers and servants of empire, while more recently Joseph Boone and Rudi Bleys hav focused on, respectively, the "homerotics of orientalism" and the "motives and conditions of homosexual exile." In terms of both sexual and imperial politics, Lawrence Durrell's Scobie, "peddyrast" and transvestite, presents a challenge. I have chosen to rehabilitate rather than deconstruct this determinedly transgressive figure, perhaps the most oddly privileged of all the characters in the Alexandria Quartet. Though Scobie may exhibit some orientalizing and colonial habits of mind, his more positive gestures, such as his relationship with Abdul, are unique in this sequence of novels. Within the limits of his time and generation, and within the confines of an imperial culture, he comes closest to reconciling East and West as he destabilizes gender roles and challenges racial division.
