- Abstract
Heidegger, Foucault, Weber, Adorno, and other scholars argue from different perspectives that aesthetics can awaken individuals submerged in everyday life, liberating them from the ‘iron cage.‘ However, in a modern landscape, what once caused astonishment has become artificial ‘simulacra,’ and perception of natural objects is constrained by discourse. Through tourism, individuals, while escaping the mundanity of daily life, paradoxically engage in ‘mechanical’ behavior, transitioning from one ‘iron cage’ to another. As highlighted by Saussure, in representation issues, the subject is abolished, echoing Foucault's notion that the concept of the ‘subject’ is formed within discourse, subject to the constraints of discourse rules and conventions, thus shaped and defined by the power and knowledge structures within discourse. Consequently, the subject is both molded and invalidated within discourse, as it excludes other discourses and their meanings. This paper uses the tourism representation of Guizhou's Thousand Household Miao Village as a case study to explore tourism behavior within the context of consumption and landscape society, aiming to better analyze contemporary tourism phenomena.
