****************************************************** * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * ****************************************************** Dear Colleagues, > >We are pleased to announce the one-day conference, ‘Gendered meeting grounds: the tourist dates’, that will take place on Wednesday 23rd November 2011 at the FCSH campus of New University of Lisbon, Portugal (Av. Berna 26, Lisboa, Auditório 1, Torre B – 1st floor). > >Please find enclosed a detailed program and the abstracts of the presentations. > >The conference will bring together academics working on the multiple articulations between gender and the relational idioms of travel and tourism. Commerce, hospitality, friendship, love, sex, and charity are among the relational idioms informing the encounters between those who travel and the people they meet during their journey. Each of these idioms has its own grammar of expectations and dispositions as to how the people who engage in them should behave. A key dimension of these expectations and dispositions relates to the gender of the people involved, and brings into play different assumptions on how gendered beings ought to engage with one another. Moreover, we may also argue that once gender is conceived as relationally enacted, different relational idioms may inform its concrete manifestation. Rather than restricting the focus to one type of relationship, the conferences aims to bring together contributions on a range of relational idioms, acknowledging that the boundaries between them remain often ambiguous and contested. The connections between these different idioms, and the role gender plays in the possible transitions from one to the other, informing the mechanisms of their divergence/convergence, overlapping/separation, is another issue that will be discussed. > >The following questions will be addressed: > > - How are gender and relational idioms articulated through travel and tourism? > - When and how are these articulations made explicit (or not) and what are the implications of these processes of explicitation/invisibilization? > - How does gender matter in the various types of relationships that people establish in travel and tourism? In which types of relationships does gender matter most/less? What is the interest, if any, of considering and comparing the articulations of gender across different relational idioms? > - What kind of expectations, dispositions, and normative assumptions do the articulations of gender and relational idioms bring about, and how are they renegotiated through travel and tourism encounters? > - How do institutionalized discourses and imaginaries shape articulations of gender and relational idioms in concrete moments of interaction, and how are they transformed by them? > - How do the articulations of gender and relational idioms in travel and tourism differ, I ever, from those that take shape in other realms of people’s lives? How can we say, for instance, that travel and tourism reproduce / amplify / subvert these other articulations? > >The conference is free of charge and open to anyone interested. We look forward to meeting you in Lisbon next week.
