Dr Leanne White (International Business), ‘Imagining the Nation: Signifiers of National
Capital Status in Washington, DC and Canberra’ in Current Issues in Tourism (B-ranked
journal).
The paper
examines images of nationhood in the capital cities of the USA and Australia –
Washington, DC and Canberra respectively.
The paper examines architectural signifiers of these two national capital
cities by undertaking an analysis of significant landmarks and monuments in
Washington and Canberra (and how these represent the nation and national
identity). The paper uses a combination of observational research, secondary
research and semiotic analysis to analyse the ways in which national identity
has been communicated to tourists in these cities. Read a preview of the article.
