This book provides a synthesis of current research and international best practice in the emerging field of creative tourism. Including knowledge, insights, and reflections from both practitioners and researchers, it covers types of creative tourist, trends, designing and implementing creative tourism products, embedding activities in a community and place, and addressing sustainability challenges. Applying lessons learned from the CREATOUR project and other initiatives, the editors present key information in an actionable manner best suited to people working on the ground. A vital resource for tourism agencies, practitioners, planners and policymakers interested in developing creative tourism programmes and activities, this book will also be of interest to cultural and creative tourism researchers, students, and teachers of tourism and culture-based development.
Disruptive and creative research methodologies proposed in this book are designed to dismantle neoliberal narratives deployed in tourism studies and wider social sciences. Progressing criticality in tourism studies, this volume showcases cutting-edge contributions ranging from reflexivity, subjectivities, and dreams; to messy emotions in auto-ethnographic accounts of fieldwork; ‘motherhood capital’ accessing Inuit communities; collective memory work; ethnodrama and creative non-fiction, amongst others. Disruption and creativity are the two ideas around which tourism geographers challenge and begin dismantling hegemonic ideologies in tourism studies. The chapters in this book provide a va...
How can art act as an intercultural mediator for dialogue? In order to scrutinize this question, relevant theoretical ideas are discussed and artistic intervention projects examined so as to highlight its cultural, political, economic, social, and transformational impacts. This thought-provoking work reveals why art is needed to help multicultural neighbourhoods and societies be sustainable, as well as united by diversity. This edited collection underlines the significance of arts and media as a tool of understanding, mediation, and communication across and beyond cultures. The chapters with a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches from particular contexts demonstrate the complexity in the dynamics of (inter)cultural communication, culture, identity, arts, and media. Overall, the collection encourages readers to consider themselves as agents of the communication process promoting dialogue.
The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. Artists shape policy and management which is integral to their practice. This issue looks at how artists engage in policy making and how policies develop through artistic practice. Authors examine the role of researchers as interpreters and developers of policies originating in artist-focused research, artist agency in artist-led development, and what it means to »give« artists a platform to pursue their policy interests. Additionally, marginalisation of artists and lack of diversity in methodologies are explored in this issue.
The conceptual territory of religious tourism is fluid. While recreation and leisure-based motivation and behaviors are evident in religious tourism, this volume reiterates its rootedness in tenets from religious traditions and pilgrimages. Using fresh perspectives on place-stories, rituals, performances, that are central to pilgrimage and sacred sites, essays in this volume explain contemporary expressions of religious tourism and illustrate the dynamic nature of religious tourism as an ecosystem embedded in religious practices, rituals and performances. The explanations will benefit researchers and practioners alike and they can find numerous examples that show the significance of religious tourism for sustainable development of destinations.
Un buen número de expertos en el estudio de las conductas protectoras del ambiente considera que dichas conductas implican molestia, sacrificio y displacer a las personas que las practican. Es decir, las consecuencias psicológicas que produce el cuidar los recursos naturales y a otras personas son de naturaleza negativa. Otros autores señalan que emociones también negativas como la culpa, la indignación, la vergüenza y el miedo se asocian a un esfuerzo insuficiente de protección ambiental, lo que impulsa a las personas a involucrarse en el cuidado ambiental. El presente libro cuestiona la pertinencia y alcance de las explicaciones del comportamiento proambiental basadas en la negativi...
En combinant les perspectives des sciences des religions, des migrations et des études urbaines avec l'analyse d'événements et de mises en scène artistiques et musicales, le présent ouvrage réunit des enquêtes empiriques et des réflexions théoriques autour des questions de visibilité dans le contexte francophone. Il montre comment les actrices et acteurs de culture musulmane performent leurs appartenances de manière situationnelle, parfois dans le but de «faire communauté», mais aussi de négocier leur place, au-delà des assignations identitaires, dans des espaces et des entités qu'il convient d'appréhender à différentes échelles: du voisinage de quartier aux réseaux transnationaux, en passant par les associations et les instances politiques. Cette perspective invite donc à reconnaître, du côté des acteurs, la pluralité des appartenances, des raisons d'agir et des régimes d'engagement, et du côté des terrains étudiés, la pluralité des scènes de visibilité, des territoires aussi bien que des logiques qui sous-tendent la vie publique.
Esta obra surge a partir das discussões e relatos de experiências produzidos no âmbito da disciplina “Laboratório de métodos para compreensão da Cultura e Subjetividade”, ocorrida entre agosto e outubro de 2021, em período pandêmico e por este motivo realizada online. Diante de tal situação a intenção foi pensar em como a academia, e, mais especificamente, as metodologias poderiam abrir espaço para a exposição das subjetividades. As trocas no decorrer da disciplina foram repletas de afeto e aconchego e ainda que não houvesse o contato físico tudo ficou marcado nas subjetividades dos autores e organizadoras de maneira muito profunda. E é parte disso que esta obra pretende trazer ao leitor.
