Platform-Mediated Tourism
This book presents theoretical and empirical perspectives on platform-mediated tourism, with a special focus on Airbnb. The case studies included in this volume show that the impacts of short-term renting on neighbourhoods, residents and tourism operators are uneven, but increasingly significant. During the past decade, digital platforms for short-term rental, transport, social dining etc., have enabled the development of a new generation of entrepreneurs in tourism and mobility. The mediation of services through digital platforms was initially presented as a form of a sharing economy led by non-professional providers, but it has grown into a new form of capitalist speculation. The inadequac...
Unexpected Encounters
"Exploring different dimensions of the intersection of migration and tourism in the Mediterranean, this book is the result of extensive ethnographic research carried out over a decade in the Mediterranean region. It focuses on three main themes: the impact of migrants visiting their country of origin for holidays, called roots tourism; the dynamics of the "border encounters" between local people, tourists and migrants; and how tourism has affected the cultural diversity in urban areas. The book shows how migration and tourism play complementary roles in boosting the global dynamics of cultural, social, economic and political transformation in the Mediterranean"--
Hospitality, Home and Life in the Platform Economies of Tourism
This book explores how digital platforms in the realm of tourism and hospitality have shaped social and material worlds. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork with hosts and guests, the book analyses the impacts of platforms on the scale of the city, the home, and the everyday life of individuals. The book first situates platforms within the broader history of digital developments in tourism and questions what is essentially new about these socio-technical formations? The following chapters demonstrate how platforms have affected urban housing, challenged the tourism sector, and transformed understandings of hospitality and home. This is illustrated through a case-study of Airbnb’s development and impact in Sofia, Bulgaria. The final chapters of the book reflect on the political dimensions of datafication processes and digital systems of measurement that underpin the platform’s workings, showing how the platform economies of tourism benefit their users in highly uneven ways.
Som el que consumim?
Aquesta obra busca explicar els escenaris i les tendències actuals en el consum de productes ecològics des d'una visió multidisciplinar, crítica i reflexiva on l'agència social té un espai central en la configuració de sistemes agroalimentaris més equitatius i sostenibles i on el consum es considera un acte amb capacitat i poder de canvi.
Les fires i els mercats com a eines de promoció
En aquesta obra, fires i mercats han estat concebuts com una de les eines més completes per a la promoció però també com a fenòmens socials que són capaços de reflectir i modelar la cultura i el territori des de la qual s'organitzen. Aquesta concepció de les fires i els mercats permet crear i transmetre missatges i experiències obre un nou camp de treball.
Zeitschrift für Kulturmanagement: Kunst, Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft
Die jährlich in zwei Heften erscheinende, referierte »Zeitschrift für Kulturmanagement« initiiert und fördert eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Kulturmanagement im Hinblick auf eine methodologische und theoretische Fundierung des Faches. Das international orientierte Periodikum nimmt nicht nur ökonomische Fragestellungen, sondern ebenso sehr die historischen, politischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen und Verflechtungen im Bereich Kultur in den Blick. Explizit sind daher auch Fachvertreterinnen und -vertreter akademischer Nachbardisziplinen wie der Kultursoziologie und -politologie, der Kunst-, Musik- und Theaterwissenschaft, der Kunst- und Kulturpädagogik, der Wirtschaftswissenschaft etc. angesprochen, mit ihren Beiträgen den Kulturmanagementdiskurs kritisch zu bereichern. Die Herbstausgabe 2018 versammelt Beiträge mit dem Schwerpunkt »Wirtschaftsäthetik«.
The Routledge Handbook of Festivals
In recent times, festivals around the world have grown in number due to the increased recognition of their importance for tourism, branding and economic development. Festivals hold multifaceted roles in society and can be staged to bring positive economic impact, for the competitive advantage they lend a destination or to address social objectives. Studies on festivals have appeared in a wide range of disciplines, and consequently, much of the research available is highly fragmented. This handbook brings this knowledge together in one volume, offering a comprehensive evaluation of the most current research, debates and controversies surrounding festivals. It is divided into nine sections tha...
Ciudades efímeras
El turismo urbano es una de las modalidades turísticas de mayor crecimiento en una sociedad que tiende a la progresiva urbanización. Los destinos urbanos se multiplican y, debido a ello, la competencia entre ciudades para captar turistas y eventos es creciente. A pesar de la importancia de este fenómeno pocos son los ensayos y obras de divulgación publicadas en español sobre turismo urbano. En la primera parte de este libro se exponen los principios básicos para entender el desarrollo del turismo urbano, las características de su oferta y demanda, así como los principios fundamentales de gestión y planificación del turismo en las ciudades. En la segunda parte se analiza el papel del turismo de eventos dentro de la ciudad y se reflexiona sobre su potencial productivo y su capacidad transformadora sobre los lugares que los organizan.
