This document analyzes travel from Marxist, psychoanalytic, and intersectional perspectives. It discusses how travel fits into capitalism and is stratified along class lines. From a psychoanalytic view, travel can represent escapism from societal demands or a way to access prohibited desires. Gender, race, and sexuality are also examined in how they shape different travel marketing and experiences. Alternative frameworks beyond Marxist and psychoanalytic views are suggested for analyzing travel, using examples.
