*Travelling landscapes: tourism and leisure mobilities*
Session convenors: Maarja Kaaristo, Steven Rhoden (Manchester Metropolitan
University)
Abstract
Travelling is simultaneously functional and meaningful, experienced in
embodied ways that include being co-mobile and interacting with other
humans, non-humans as well as various materialities. This session explores
landscapes as touristic and leisurely ‘place-events’ (Pink, 2009) that
occur through various mobile practices: sensory and embodied, but also
discursive, narrated and imagined. We intend to look at various mobile
practices such as cycling, walking, hiking, train travel, canal boating,
sailing, coach travel, canoeing, hiking, campervan travel, and others, in
order to discuss the landscapes of travelling and the travelling of
landscapes.
Potential contributions may include (but are not limited to):
- Embodiment and sensory experiences
- Rhythms and tempo
- Affect, emotion and atmospheres
- ‘Large-scale’ materialities of travel (infrastructures, water,
etc.)
- Politics and power-relations of travel
- Gendered landscapes of travel
- Artefacts of travel (guidebooks, equipment, etc.)
- Engagement with the environment, space and place
- Everyday practices of tourism and leisure
- Representations and narrations of various mobile tourism
practices
