In this chapter I explore some of the ways in which the holiday has been theorised as a cultural ‘text’ or cultural ‘practice’. I look at the holiday in terms of class, the spectacle, the tourist gaze and the periphery. I also consider how the holiday might construct feelings of national identity. Examining these theories will provide the reader with some useful tools for analysing representations of the holiday in British film.
