The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies
The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies, 2nd Edition, offers a comprehensive re-evaluation of the recent developments; conceptual, theoretical and empirical debates; and critical issues in this field of study. Reflecting on and building from its original aim of rethinking geographical approaches to tourism, the volume explores contemporary tourism contexts and concepts, as marked by the present era of polycrises, setting out renewed and reoriented perspectives on tourism geographies into the mid-2020s. Across its diverse range of contributions, the Handbook navigates the complexities of tourism as a shifting construct, situating tourism geographies within the socio-spatial, economic an...
A Research Agenda for Tourism Geographies
In recent years, tourism geographies have developed into a vibrant field of research at the intersection of geography and tourism studies. The book presents a unique collection of individual research agendas aiming to inspire the pursuit of new avenues of research. Although there have been arguments to apply post-disciplinary perspectives within tourism research, this book highlights the interest and potential of tourism geographers to contribute to a geographical tradition and influence the future content of geography as a discipline.
Local Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South
The nucleus of society is situated at the local level: in the village, the neighborhood, the city district. This is where a community first develops collective rules that are intended to ensure its continued existence. The contributors look at such configurations in geographical areas and time periods that lie outside of the modern Western world with its particular development of society and statehood: in Antiquity and in the Global South of the present. Here states tend to be weak, with obvious challenges and opportunities for local communities. How does governance in this context work? Scholars from various disciplines (Classics, Theology, Political Science, Sociology, Social Anthropology,...
Geografia, Turismo e Patrimônio Cultural
A denominação “geografia” sempre esteve associada a conhecimentos que se individuali zavam por meio da articulação de outros conhecimentos, tendo essa relação de saberes distintos como forte elemento de autoidentificação. A geografia foi, em diferentes momentos e formula ções, pensada como um campo de interrelacionamento de estudos tópicos de variados fenôme nos e processos. Uma área de diálogos e conexões entre teorias díspares. Uma base comum de aproximação de diferenciadas ciências. Enfim, um campo transdisciplinar, avant la lettre. Não raro este intuito integrador esteve identificado com um conceito, entendido como uma realidade material ou como um ângulo de obse...
POR UMA NOVA GEOGRAFIA REGIONAL

Os temas abordados nessa coletânea são diversos, indo desde aqueles que claramente se propõem a discutir e atualizar aspectos teóricos relativos à categoria analítica a região e seus derivados até a relação entre a pandemia da Covid-19 e a região, passando pela discussão do nexo entre fronteira e região e entre o urbano e o regional de forma geral...

Tourism in Transitions
This book explores the relationship between transition and tourism geographies on a global scale, discussing how tourism has been used as a tool to recover from decline or to manage change caused by event-driven, rapid transitions in a region’s economy, politics or environment. With case studies from Europe, America, Asia and Africa, it provides examples of how specific communities and industries around the globe have reacted for better or worse. It also includes analyses of shifts within the tourism industry itself and examines the complex issues arising for localities that have to face the demands and standards of an increasingly globally interlinked tourism industry. From Whistler to An...
