This exegesis will discuss the attributes and functions of ‘unreachable destinations’ in the aforementioned case studies, and will explore the notions of ‘true homes’ and belonging/not belonging as states of being responding to inauthentic landscapes. The reality of destinations (places) will be discussed with reference to the following: Jean Baudrillard’s theories of simulacra and simulations and the replacing of meaning with signs and symbols; and Marc Augé’s concept of ‘non-places’. It will be argued that unreachable or non-existent destinations in the case studies function to turn the narrative journeys inward. Physical discovery or exploration becomes, instead, selfreflection; an attempt at unpacking a subjective reality in the hope of uncovering an authentic place, a true home.
