CALL FOR PAPERS
Tourism and leisure research in the new millenium: progress in the German-
and English-speaking worlds, Westfälisch-Wilhelmsuniversität, Münster.
A joint symposium organised by the Arbeitskreis Freizeit- und
Tourismusgeographie of the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geographie and the
Geography of Leisure and Tourism Research Group of the Royal Geographical
Society (with IBG).
Subjectivities, the body, knowledge, power and identities.
Convenors: Luke Desforges, Aberystwyth, David Crouch Derby and Karlstad.
The IBG/RGS Geographies of Tourism and Leisure Research Group is organising
a session at the Munster Conference on recent work and developing theory in
geographies of tourism and leisure.
The idea of the session is to present a range of recent UK work to the
Anglo-German audience, with a good chance for discussion and exchange. A
maximum of five papers sought. Particular areas for this session include
work that focuses upon :
-spatial encounters, the human subject and her reflexive practice, lay
knowledges
-the embodied character of tourism/leisure practices and performances
-`practice/performance` and negotiaitons of identities and difference
-prefigured knowledge, representations and travel narrative and their
negotiation and contestation in practice
-pertinent developing research methodologies
-emerging connections between new interpretations of spatial encounters and
power/policy
[the inclusion of leisure and tourism acknowledges the decreasing
disctinction between these categories, especially in terms of subjective
encounters and space]
The timetable is tight and abstracts [of around 200 words] need to be with
Luke or David by Monday 28Jan latest. Apologies. Also, it is hoped to have
3000 word drafts ready by the end of May so that these may be circulate
especially in order to facilitate their reading by our German colleagues.

Good Wishes from Luke and David
