THE CRITICAL TURN IN TOURISM STUDIES.

Аннотация

This book is one moment in our response to this acclaimed cultural critic and feminist theorist’s call for academics to embrace honest and supportive communication in their efforts to produce social change. From our locations in privileged and powerful positions (as permanently employed senior academics in Western universities), we conceived this book as a means for ‘new’ and ‘established’ voices in the tourism academy to: speak about the power relations underpinning the production of academic knowledge; present a range of qualitative data collection methods that confront the field’s dominant (post)positivist approaches; foreground the emotional dynamics of research relations and explore the personal, the political and the situated nature of research journeys.
