Why is it not the deprived developing country, but rather the tempting destination the host arrives in when guiding the audience in a travel series? And how can we explore the specific combination of entertainment and education that travel series represent? Basically the travel series genre is a hybrid of journalistic documentary, entertaining lifestyle series and TV ads and the different series put different emphasis on the different genre elements. Travel series represent a certain kind of mediated consumption and they reflect lifestyle identity in relation to touristic consumer cultures. Like other lifestyle series dealing with consumption products and lifestyle markers encompassing fashion, food, garden, design and interior that balance somewhere between journalism and advertising, travel series typically deal with destinations, travel modes, cultural experiences and food as commodities. To understand the cultural and democratic value of travel series as a popular TV genre in the context of public service broadcasting, it is not the fact that the series contain educative and enlightening information about foreign cultures told in an entertaining and popular way that are of my interest. Rather it is tourism and media consumer culture as such, one has to expound as valuable democratic and cultural practice. The article presents different matrices of the respectively cultural and consumer knowledge that the different types of travel series include. ; Rejseserier som tv-underholdning: Teoretisk ramme for analyse af en genre samt sofaturistens blik på fremmede kulturer Hvorfor er det ikke de undertrykte udviklingslande men derimod de fristende rejsemål som programværten omtaler i rejseserierne når han guider tv-seeren til nye og fremmedartede steder på jorden? Og hvordan kan vi forstå den særlige blanding af let underholdning, geografilektion og fristende billeder som er i spil i disse serier? Artiklen beskriver rejseserier som en hybridgenre med rødder i henholdsvis journalistisk dokumentar, en faktuel tv-underholdningsgenre som livsstilsprogrammer samt reklame. De forskellige serier vægtlægger og kombinerer de forskellige genreelementer på forskellige måder. Rejseserier repræsenterer en særlig form for medieret forbrug og de reflekterer livsstile og turisttyper som vi kender fra moderne turisme (backpackeren, eventyreren, storbyturisten, campisten). På samme måde som livsstilsserier der balancerer mellem journalistik og reklame for forskellige produkter og livsstilsmarkører ift. mode, mad, have, design og indretning, omhandler rejseserier typisk rejsemål, rejseformer, seværdigheder og mad som attraktive turistoplevelser. Artiklen præsenterer en teoretisk ramme for at belyse forskellige kommunikative modi samt sofaturistens blik på verden i rejseserier. For at forstå de kulturelle og demokratiske værdier af rejseserier som en populær tv-genre i forhold til public service medier, så er det ikke så meget det faktum at serierne giver seeren oplysning og indsigt i andre kulturer og områder på en letfordøjelig og populær måde, der er væsentligt. Det er derimod vigtigt at udvikle forståelsesrammer for demokratiske og kulturelle værdier af henholdsvis turisme, forbrugskultur og medieunderholdning som sådan. Artiklen peger afslutningsvis på forskellige former for globale og markedskulturelle vidensmatricer som rejseserierne repræsenterer.
