Apologies for cross posting
Dear Colleagues,
With the deadline for abstracts fast approaching just a gentle reminder about the following call for abstracts:
You are invited to submit abstracts for consideration for inclusion in a book proposal for the Routledge Advances in Tourism and Anthropology series. The book will be co-edited by Dr Hazel Andrews, Dr Laura Dixon, and Dr Takamitsu Jimura, all of Liverpool John Moores University, UK.
Abstracts of 250 words in the form of a word processed email attachment should be sent to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by Friday 11th March 2016.
The book will address the following:
The anthropological study of tourism has taken place in a multiplicity of contexts around the world and proves a valuable seam to mine in relation to questions that pervade anthropological enquiry in general. At the same time, the opening-up of places and exposure of peoples once considered the preserve of the anthropologist - the hard to access 'exotic other' - to those from outside the discipline contributed to the scrutiny of the production of anthropological knowledge in which the boundaries between tourist and anthropologist were argued to be blurred, in part due to the ludic nature of both roles (Crick, 1985). Crick was writing at a time when there were comparatively few tourism ethnographies. The situation has since changed and ethnography, including ethnographic film-making, has increased as a means of data collection in the study of tourism. Despite associations with fun, ethnography in a tourism setting is as challenging and potentially rich as it is in relation to any other field of anthropological enquiry. This edited collection explores the experience of undertaking fieldwork to investigate tourism and welcomes contributions that address issues such as, but is not limited to,
* 'Being' in the field of tourism
* The ethics of ethnography in tourism locations
* The nature of fieldwork relations
* Ethnographic film-making in tourism
* Representing and writing the field
* The idea of the tourist-anthropologist continuum
* The diversity of tourism fieldwork
* Applied anthropological fieldwork in tourism
* The spaces of tourism ethnography
Best wishes Hazel, Taka and Laura
