Dear
colleagues,
Please
find below the Guidelines for Late Abstract submission to the International Conference
REGIMES
OF VALUE IN TOURISM: CONCEPTS, POLITICS AND PRACTICES
Open Anthropology Cooperative /Tourism Contact Culture Research Group 2nd
Conference
Sion, Switzerland, 2-4 July 2012
Value
is a highly controversial concept and debates about value and regimes of value
are usually transpired by political projects, disciplinary approaches and
ideologies. The aim of this conference is to explore different concepts of, and
approaches to, value that emerge in the social field of tourism. It will bring
together academics from different social sciences (anthropology, sociology,
psychology, geography, economics, political sciences, etc.), tourism and
heritage policy, and the emerging fields of heritage and environmental
economics. Its objective is to create a workshop-like atmosphere that favours
exchanges and debates among scholars both in the formal settings of the actual
event and in the social spaces created at its fringes.
A
full list of accepted abstracts is now available at the conference site. Late
abstracts will be considered at the discretion of the conference conveners.

TOPICS
- How is value in tourism and travel
conceptualized, normalized and measured, according to different disciplines and
social actors (tourism and heritage planners, cultural policy makers, tourists,
local populations, anthropologists, sociologists, economists, geographers)?
- What values are mobilized and experienced by
tourists? To which emotional cultures and morals do they pertain? What are the
values inherent in concepts like nature, god, world heritage, or humanity? How
have they been historically formed? What kinds of society do they reflect? What
political projects and which humanities do they articulate?
- How is value produced in tourism and for
tourists? How is this production of value governed? Who owns such value? Who
derives an economic or symbolic remuneration of it? How are values and their
remuneration regulated? What systems of value accountancy and redistribution
are in place? How are tensions, contradictions and controversies over values
constructed and negotiated when touristic referents are invoked?
- Why, and how (through which processes), are
such regimes of value maintained? What kind of social order and forms of
participation do they reflect and help to reproduce in the construction of
tourism? How do different actors construct and cope with contradictions between
value regimes? And how do they function as devices for social inclusion and
exclusion? What ethical claims do they imply, and how do they translate these
in social life?
