<DIV></DIV>>Centre for Tourism & Cultural Change, Sheffield Hallam
University
<DIV></DIV>>14.08.2005-18.08.2005, Sheffield
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>CALL FOR PAPERS
<DIV></DIV>>This is the first announcement and call for papers for the 3rd
CTCC
<DIV></DIV>>Tourism Research Conference. Tourism and Performance: Scripts,
Stages
<DIV></DIV>>and Stories is part of our ongoing conference series focusing on
tourism
<DIV></DIV>>and tourism related practices, with the aim to test and, where
useful,
<DIV></DIV>>to overcome traditional conceptual and disciplinary boundaries.
Previous
<DIV></DIV>>events of this series include Tourism and Photography: Still
Visions -
<DIV></DIV>>Changing Lives in Sheffield, in 2003, and Tourism and Literature:
<DIV></DIV>>Travel, Imagination and Myth in Harrogate, in 2004.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Performance has been theorised as a way by which human beings act
in
<DIV></DIV>>society and organise their being in the world. In the context of
<DIV></DIV>>tourism, there is much debate regarding the idea of tourists as
<DIV></DIV>>performers, 'acting out' spaces, and enacting 'scripts', through
which
<DIV></DIV>>they organise and add meaning to their experiences and journeys.
Tourism
<DIV></DIV>>in this sense can be seen to be 'staged'. But such perspectives
raise a
<DIV></DIV>>number of questions regarding the reflexivity, the hermeneutics,
the
<DIV></DIV>>sensual and aesthetic modalities, the social interactions and the
<DIV></DIV>>political economy of tourist performance: How is individual
tourist
<DIV></DIV>>performance linked to socially prescribed or learnt models
regarding
<DIV></DIV>>tourism behaviour and spaces? How are spaces and material culture
<DIV></DIV>>'enacted' by and for tourists? What are the production
and consumption
<DIV></DIV>>modalities of in situ and in visu stages for tourism performance?
How is
<DIV></DIV>>tourism performance linked to modes of touristic social
interaction
<DIV></DIV>>during the journey? What roles do stories play in generating
<DIV></DIV>>performativity and in liberating tourists from the acts of travel
and
<DIV></DIV>>tourism?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The aim of this conference is to explore such questions by
drawing on
<DIV></DIV>>the methodological and conceptual knowledge of different
disciplinary
<DIV></DIV>>perspectives including those of: anthropology, sociology,
history,
<DIV></DIV>>folkloric studies, literature and critical theory, linguistics,
<DIV></DIV>>human/cultural geography, psychology, theatre studies and other
relevant
<DIV></DIV>>approaches. Key themes of interest to the conference
include:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>- Eden, Sodom & Gomorrah, the Golden Fleece: narrative
archetypes
<DIV></DIV>>underlying tourism?
<DIV></DIV>>- Hermeneutics and reflexivity: Tourism scripts, stages and
stories as
<DIV></DIV>>parables of the social world?
<DIV></DIV>>- Losing the plot: Tourism lost in translation
<DIV></DIV>>- Odour, sound, vision, taste - making sense of the senses:
cognitive
<DIV></DIV>>categories and processes in tourism
<DIV></DIV>>- Distance and familiarity: Tourist performance and social
interaction
<DIV></DIV>>- Global forms and exchange: Building facades, eroticising space,
making
<DIV></DIV>>places visible for tourism
<DIV></DIV>>- Who is cooking who? Geographies and economies of touristic
<DIV></DIV>>performance, consumption and exchange
<DIV></DIV>>- Political and symbolic manipulation of tourism scripts, stages
and
<DIV></DIV>>stories
<DIV></DIV>>- Objects as props - objects as texts
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Please send a 300 word long abstract of your suggested
communication
<DIV></DIV>>with full address details as an electronic file to Dr. David
Picard
<DIV></DIV>>(send to d.picard@shu.ac.uk ) as soon as possible but by 15th
April 2005
<DIV></DIV>>at the latest.
