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.
