Annonce
Argument
For anthropologists the study of tourism provides a means of
understanding the transformations which accompany globalisation.
Tourism not only favours a kind of interconnectedness between people
and populations, it is also an important issue from an economic and
political point of view. Tourism implies multiple representations of
otherness and it questions the different values a society holds. As a
polymorphic object, tourism provides us the possibility to renew our
conception of globalisation, especially as regards to "traditional"
themes such as: identities and cultures, the construction of
marketplaces and the crafting of public policies, and North-South
relationships.
Historically and economically speaking, the image of the tourist
has long been associated with a Westerner who travels to Northern or
Southern countries. Yet, recent figures show that Southern countries
have started producing tourists as well. What are the consequences of
these transformations on the construction of academic research,
especially when most researchers (sociologists, anthropologists) are
also Westerners? How should we analyze the practices of these new
tourists? Do their attitudes and behaviour differ from practices which
characterize Western tourists? Rather than referring to any single,
formal definition of the activities and profiles of the tourist, this
panel seeks to capture tourism through a great diversity of
contemporary examples, and through a comparative point of view. The
contributions in their entirety, then, are hoped to provide a new
multifaceted perspective on tourists' identities, from both the North
and the South.
