Dear colleagues,
Please find attached (also below) a CfPs on behalf of the International Sociologist Association (ISA)- Research Committee (RC50) a conference on
TOURISM PARADOXES: CHALLENGES TO SCHOLARSHIP & PRACTICE in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in early April of 2016.
Call for Papers
Conference of the ISA RC50
THEME: TOURISM PARADOXES: CHALLENGES TO SCHOLARSHIP AND PRACTICE
LOCATION: Chiang Mai, Thailand
DATES: 6-9 April 2016
During its course of nearing four decades tourism studies has covered much disciplinary, thematic and methodological ground. Whilst the field has forged significant practical and conceptual benchmarks, international tourism is said to be entering something of a 'new era', and so scholarship in tourism now stands at a philosophical and ethical crossroads. The "International Tourism" Research Committee (RC50) of the International Sociological Association thus proposes an opportunity to reengage with these salient issues in tourism studies and thereby develop possible pathways for its future. By identifying the often incongruent and paradoxical dyads in tourism studies, the conference aims to consider what is needed, conceptually and methodologically, in order to equip tourism studies to interpret this new era.
We invite papers which engage a social / cultural studies approach to tourism in the following subfields:
Dyads identified (but not limited to):
(i) Colonization ---- Post-colonization & De-colonization
(ii) Political Prowess ---- Peoples' Empowerment
(iii) Production ---- Consumption (Continuum )
(iv) Symbolism ---- Signification Dynamics
(v) Formal Sector ---- Informal Economies (incl. Entrepreneurs)
(vi) Assimilation ---- Diversity
(vii) Globally Standardized ---- Locally Stylized
(viii) Singular ---- Multiple Identities (Ethnic, National, Trans)
(ix) Borders ---- (De)Militarized Zones
(x) Anglo-Western Centrism ---- Decentering tourism studies
Methodology Matters:
(i) Modes of Knowledge: ontological and epistemological pluralism
(ii) Key turns of social science (constituents, rejections, advances)
(iii) Realist/neo-positivist approaches and methods
(iv) Soft science/Interpretive approaches and methods
(v) Discourse ---- Praxis
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

When submitting abstract please indicate which area of the conference theme / dyad(s) your paper addresses.
