[2015 Mormon Historical Association Winner for Article Award of Excellence]
The literature, sites, and technologies of Utahn tourism inhabited the spaces between coarticulated forms of religion and irreligion in America, and they created new spaces in which people could think about the terms of articulation and the extents of their application. Tourism is a process of differentiation even as it enacts attention to differentiation. It is a ritual act of consciousness paid to, and paid within, processes of social distinction and expansion. And in this case tourism was component to the identification of religion in and around Utah. [From the text]
