Hi all
This is just a pre-Christmas break reminder about the call for papers for this session at the IGU in Dublin next August. (This is one of the 25 tourism sessions at the IGU.)
Re-envisioning the mobilities of in/hospitable work?
Tara Duncan, David Scott, Susanna Heldt Cassel, Maria Thulemark, Dalarna University, Sweden
Taking as a starting point Duncan et al.’s (2013) paper on the mobilities of hospitality work and McMorran’s (2012) methodological work on embodied labour, this session seeks to re-envision how mobility and in/hospitable work can be viewed, researched, and understood as entwinned, performed, and/or constituted. Re-envisioning encourages deliberations about potential challenges of robotization or AI, or how global crises have and are changing the ways in which society functions. Here, questions might begin with what we define as in/hospitable work and end with how in/hospitable work and mobilities intertwine. In trying to open up the multiplicity of understandings of both terms – for instance and somewhat simplistically, we might discuss the physical mobility of tourism workers, the embodied performance of sex workers, or the nature of care work – the aim of this session is to open spaces for dialogue. As such, we welcome papers that include discussions about, but are not limited to:
• Performance, performativity, and work
• Understandings of in/hospitableness in workspaces
• Tensions between being mobile and being hospitable
• Mobile workers – the leisured nature of tourism work
• Space(s) and scales of mobilities and in/hospitable work
• Challenging hospitalities: technology as host/ile
• (Re)placing hosts and guests
• Contested moorings - reconfiguring migrant workers identities
• In/hospitable spaces of work in the circular economy
