This text introduces tourism students to concepts drawn from critical
theory, cultural studies and the social sciences. It does so with a
light and readable touch, highlighting the ideas that underlie
contemporary critical tourism studies in a practical and engaging way.
Specifically, the authors examine how post-structuralist thought has
led to a re-imagining of power relationships and the ways in which
they are central to the production and consumption of tourism
experiences. Eleven clear, relevant chapters provide an accessible
introduction to tourism defining, explaining and developing the key
issues and methods in this exciting field. These topics include: •
Regulating Tourism • Commodifying Tourism • Embodying Tourism •
Performing Tourism • Tourism and the Everyday • Tourism and the
Other • Tourism and the Environment • Tourism and the Past •
Tourism Mobilities • Researching Tourism A strong teaching text,
this will be well received by lecturers seeking an authoritative,
multi-disciplinary book on contemporary tourism and by students who
want a practical, grounded introduction which understands their
learning and research needs.
