OP 126. Mobilities of disaster: tourism and disaster in anthropological investigation
Jonathan Skinner (Convenor, Roehampton)
Paulo Daniel da Silva Mendes (Convenor, CRIA-IUL)
This is a joint panel between the Tourism and Risk & Disaster commissions. It represents the growing interest in an applied anthropological understanding of disasters and the nature of mobility to and from them. This incorporates the evacuations away from the sites to the attraction of these unfortunate places made by the dark tourist. Who visits a disaster site and why? Is it ethical, appropriate and safe? And how is the scenario to be researched by anthropologists? This panel explores the mobilities of disaster and how culture impacts on the viewing of the on-going disaster and rehabilitation work post-disaster, let alone the movement of relief work in, out and around the disaster. The relationship between tourists and locals is often fraught whether from cultural, social or psychological perspective taken to examine disasters relationships from 9/11 New York to post-Katrina New Orleans; commuters, semiotics and viewing the Grenfell Tower disaster. Are these approaches Eurocentric and anthropomorphic as the Western world labels the disaster and characterises its features?
In terms of key topics we are looking for papers that engage with topics such as the following:
+ Human movement around disasters and their relief
+ Tourist visits to on-going and post-disaster sites
+ Theoretical papers on mobility and tourism/disasters, ethical and methodological practice
We would also welcome other submissions that engage with the mobilities of disasters.
