“…What I proposed was, broadly speaking, an analysis of the way in which, within a travel narrative whose destination was North Korea, the photographs (those which were produced by Peixoto or found in newspapers or in museums, as well as those which were prohibited throughout the journey) act as complex discursive objects of the account as a whole. The narrator's commitment to sincerity and truth necessarily brings to the discussion "the relation between the seeable and the sayable, the visible and the articulable, display and discourse, showing and telling, perception and conception or symbol and concept" (Alù & Hill 2018, p. 2), which are still subjects to be theorized and questioned. With individual freedoms continually called into question in the "most militarised country in the world" (Peixoto 2012, p. 44), the only support left to the author was his memory.…”

In 2012, the Portuguese writer José Luís Peixoto travelled to North Korea and the result of this trip was the travel account Dentro do Segredo [Inside the Secret]. In his travelogue, Peixoto highlights the use of photography for the verification and legitimization of a journey. Few photographs produced in North Korea have room for improvisation and the author is aware of this fact. He knows that ahead of his photographic lens there is always another lens – that of an austere political regime. The article explores the relationship between words and images in Peixoto’s travel account. It aims to demonstrate how photographs are unreliable forms of representation of the world and – whether they are taken or seen – how they complicate any attempt of a faithful narration of the Other. This study will build on the author’s point that any image captured in that space requires double decoding.

“…Images can evoke strong reactions, intimacy and memories (Abbott et al., 2013; Pittman & Reich, 2016; Van Dijck, 2008); yet, they are also constructed by a long history of art and photography, shaping current motifs, styles and content (Smith, 2019). The representations of activities or landscapes are not a simple reflection of reality, but carry ‘mentalities, ideologies and identities’ (Alù & Hill, 2018, p. 1). Urry and Larsen (2011) capture this in the concept of the tourist gaze, describing the way people look at the environment as a learned skill that ‘ orders, shapes and classifies, rather than reflects, the world ’ (Larsen, 2006, p. 245).…”

V znanstveni monografiji Literarni turizem in priložnosti za njegov razvoj v Sloveniji: Louis Adamič – pisatelj z zgodbo, ki povezuje Slovenijo, Balkan in Združene države Amerike predstavljamo literarni turizem z vidika analize in vrednotenja literarne dediščine ter pišemo o njeni umestitvi v turistično ponudbo. Prinašamo pregled temeljne znanstvene in strokovne literature področja in pojasnjujemo, kako se književnost umešča v kontekst turizma, literarnega turizma in doživljanja kulture. Gre za monografijo, ki se osredinja na dela Louisa Adamiča (1898–1951), še posebej na njegova romana Vrnitev v rodni kraj (angl. The Native’s Return) in Moja rojstna dežela (angl. My Native Land). V njima se prepletajo področja turizma, literarne teorije in književnosti. Monografija kot vir nadaljnjega razvoja literarnega turizma v Sloveniji analizira in vrednoti literarno dediščino Louisa Adamiča. V knjigi so prav tako ponujena priporočila, kako dediščino obravnavanega avtorja aktivneje vključiti v turistično ponudbo – predstavljeni so koncepti literarnega turizma z metodologijo področja, kar je lahko vodilo upravljalcem turističnih destinacij in drugim turističnim deležnikom pri snovanju novih turističnih proizvodov ali pri nadgradnji obstoječih.
