Whose penis is that on parade? : history and tourism : intertextual representations of Florence

Russell Staiff

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper

Abstract

![CDATA[There are various complex representations that produce ‘Florence’ and the visitor is unavoidably ensnared in them. This paper explores the interrelationship between the various historical representations of the city – the myth of Renaissance Florence and the recent revisionist constructions of the 15th century – and suggests that a process of intertextuality is at work in the tourist Florence. Further, the paper explores the coincidence of Florence as a specular culture in the 15th century and a tourist display culture in the 21st century and what this coincidence reveals about the role of representation in both past and present.]]
