*The Production of Location*
The Eighth International Tourism and Media (ITAM) Conference
University of Liverpool, 5-7 July 2018
/*Added/: Keynote from the Liverpool Film Office and tour of Liverpool
film & TV locations*
The eighth ITAM conference aim is to continue the network’s
exploration of new ideas and debates sprung from the intersection
between tourism industries and practices and those that broadly
relate to the fields of media and communication. In this vein, the
conference will aim to provide a forum where, taking their lead from
Rodanthi Tzanelli’s concept of ‘global sign industries’ (2007),
interdisciplinary research conversations gather pace around what are
increasingly convergent fields of study and practice. While trends
in scholarship on tourism and media are often reflective of discreet
disciplinary dispositions, particularly those linked to perspectives
in marketing and business, the necessarily open and ‘undisciplined’
terrain that defines the critical landscapes of media and tourism
today demands a similarly open and undisciplined approach to keep
pace with what is an ever-shifting and multi-stranded field of study.
The overarching theme of this conference is /The Production of
Location/ and we invite contributions that critically addresses
questions of cultural brokerage in media tourism whilst continuing
to welcome submissions from the inter- and cross-disciplinary
traffic that informs the research on media and tourism and addresses
a range of topics pertinent to both areas.
