*Panel title:*
*Anthropologies of tourism: An epistemological reality or mere wishful
thinking?*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Panel short abstract:*
Inspired by the world anthropologies framework, this panel reflects on
variously situated theoretical and/or methodological anthropological
takes on tourism, including key concepts that are being developed and
used across the world to make sense of tourism in all its complexity.

*Panel Text:*
The idea of world anthropologies was developed to remind anthropologists
of the plural landscape of anthropological knowledge production. Arturo
Escobar describes world anthropologies as an approach intended to
de-essentialize anthropology and to pluralize anthropological inquiry by
building on non-hegemonic anthropological practices. Indeed, the world
anthropologies framework is deeply influenced by the awareness of
hierarchical relations in knowledge production marked by the historical
construction of canons of expertise established by the anthropological
powers and authorities that be. Inspired by this perspective, this panel
aims to explore critically how various anthropological traditions from
around the globe are contributing (if at all) to our understanding of
tourism, making it justified to speak of anthropologies (plural) of
tourism instead of a unified (mostly western-dominated) anthropology of
tourism canon. In 2015, for example, the Spanish journal Pasos published
a special issue that gave an overview of anthropologies of tourism ‘from
the South’. Instead of presenting a loose assemblage of case studies,
each paper in this panel reflects on variously situated theoretical
and/or methodological anthropological takes on tourism, including key
concepts that are being developed and used across the world to make
sense of tourism in all its complexity.
