*Panel abstract*:
Fieldwork-based anthropology and long-haul tourism share remarkably
similar genealogies. Scholars have analysed in great detail the common
historical roots of anthropology and tourism in romanticism, capitalist
industrialization, colonialism and the like. This partially explains why
mainstream anthropology has, for a long time, despised tourism, both as
a social reality and as an object of study. Today, anthropologists play
active roles in tourism planning and development, as guides,
researchers, consultants, analysts or policy makers. The origins of the
anthropological study of tourism date back to the 1960s. In those fifty
years, dedicated colleagues have produced a rich set of analytical
concepts and theories that have been widely influential within the
interdisciplinary field of tourism studies. Within mainstream
anthropology, however, tourism research still has difficulty shedding
its reputation as being merely applied scholarship and tourism is rarely
at the centre stage of the discipline. This panel of the IUAES
Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism aims at changing this
situation by presenting a set of thought-provoking papers that reflect
critically on the dynamic relationship between tourism and mainstream
anthropology. The participants address the following questions: Which
innovative concepts and theories developed within the anthropology of
tourism are relevant for the discipline at large and can shed new lights
on important disciplinary debates? How can tourism and the
anthropological study of it contribute to the development of
ethnographic methods and methodologies? How can the anthropology of
tourism play a leading role in advancing anthropological theory and
practice?
