This is the second call for papers for TOURISM AND PERFORMANCE: SCRIPTS, STAGES AND STORIES. This event is part of our ongoing conference series focusing on tourism and tourism related practices, with the aim to test and, where useful, to overcome traditional conceptual and disciplinary boundaries. Previous events of this series include Tourism and Photography: Still Visions - Changing Lives in Sheffield, in 2003, and Tourism and Literature: Travel, Imagination and Myth in Harrogate, in 2004. 

 

We would be pleased if you present a paper in this conference and happy to receive a 300 word abstract of your suggested communication with full address details as an electronic file to Prof. Mike Robinson and Dr. David Picard (send to [log in to unmask] ) as soon as possible but by 15th April 2005 at the latest. 

 

CONTEXT

Performance has been theorised as a way by which human beings act in society and organise their being in the world. In the context of tourism, there is much debate regarding the idea of tourists as performers, 'acting out' spaces, and enacting 'scripts', through which they organise and add meaning to their experiences and journeys. Tourism in this sense can be seen to be 'staged'. But such perspectives raise a number of questions regarding the reflexivity, the hermeneutics, the sensual and aesthetic modalities, the social interactions and the political economy of tourist performance: How is individual tourist performance linked to socially prescribed or learnt models regarding tourism behaviour and spaces? How are spaces and material culture 'enacted' by and for tourists?  What are the production and consumption modalities of in situ and in visu stages for tourism performance? How is tourism performance linked to modes of touristic social interaction during the journey? What roles do stories play in generating performativity and in liberating tourists from the acts of travel and tourism?

 

The aim of this conference is to explore such questions by drawing on the methodological and conceptual knowledge of different disciplinary perspectives including those of: anthropology, sociology, history, cultural studies, folkloric studies, literature, critical theory, linguistics, human/cultural geography, psychology, theatre studies and other relevant approaches.  

 

THEMES

Key themes of interest to the conference include:

 

- Who is cooking who? Tourism consumption, digestion, and excretion  

- Hermeneutics, reflexivity and agency: Tourism as a parable of the social world

- Eden, Sodom & Gomorrah, the Solitary Wanderer, the Golden Fleece: Archaeologies of tourist imaginary and performance

- Odour, sound, vision, taste - making sense of the senses: cognitive categories and perceptive processes in tourism experience 

- Objects as props - objects as texts

- Staging, eroticising, and making visible: Translations, adaptations, and variations of the 'cultural'

- Reconsidering the economic in tourism: Transnational spaces of encounter, production and exchange

- Political and symbolic manipulation of tourism scripts

- 'Losing the plot': Tourism lost in translation

 

PROGRAMME

The conference is organised by Prof Mike Robinson and Dr David Picard, from the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change, Sheffield Hallam University. It will accommodate key note presentations and a series of themed sessions. Prof Edward Bruner from the University of Illinois, USA has just confirmed his participation as a key note speaker. An informal welcome reception will be organised in the early evening of 14 July 2005 and the conference will officially open in the morning of 15 July.

 

VENUE AND REGISTRATION

The conference will take place in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Delegates will benefit from excellent rates at the hotel / conference venue where 4* style bed and breakfast accommodation is available. As in previous events, we expect that the majority of delegates will stay on the conference site and therefore urge early bookings to avoid pain, disappointment and depression. A single B&B will be at £55, a double B&B at £80 per night. The registration fee for the conference is £220 if paid before 1 June 2005 and £250 if paid after this date. This includes the full conference documentation, an ISBN referred proceedings CD-ROM, day-time conference catering, a conference dinner and a field study. It does not include accommodation, which can be booked directly with the venue (address to be confirmed through our website).
