dc.description.abstractThis thesis investigates the circulation of visual travel motifs and the performances of tourism experiences by ten female travel influencers on Instagram. One hundred images are analysed, to answer following research question: “In what way do the online performances of female travel influencers on Instagram uphold discourses of travel, and how do they embody resistance against these discourses?” The research conducted in this thesis is divided into two sections. One section discusses the circulation of visual motifs. The second section focusses on the performativity of tourism, and the role of the body in it. With a thorough analysis of the images it is discovered how existing motifs circulate, and how reiteration and resistance of choreographies of tourism are performed. This thesis lays bare the structures of the discourses that are circulated and strengthened on the online platform Instagram, as well as the potential of the platform to spread choreographies of resistance.en_US
