-----------------------------------------------



Tourism researchers have begun to focus more intently on tourists’ embodied
performances, affective attunements, and multisensuous encounters with
people and places while on the move (Bialski, 2012; Birenboim, 2015; Buda
2015; Crouch & Desforges, 2003; Picard & Robinson, 2012; Saul & Waterton,
2018).  Our Special Issue seeks to further this interest considering
connections between emotions, feelings, affects and senses in tourism. The
increasing popularity of various forms of experiential tourism has brought
scholars’ attention to the crucial role emotions play in tourism. These
studies reveal that tourists often travel to feel certain feelings, such as
the adrenaline rush produced by adventure tourism (Buckley, 2016), the
sense of grief or anger that accompanies slum tourism (Holst, 2018),
feelings of intimacy, hope, or guilt kindled through volunteer tourism
(Mostafanezhad, 2011; Everingham, 2016; Germann Molz, 2016; Guiney, 2018),
or sentiments like shock, sadness or outrage that can be catalyzed by dark
tourism (Buda, d’Hauteserre & Johnston, 2014). So, too, have the emotional
labor of tourism work (Heimtun, 2016; Veijola & Jokinen, 2008) and the
affective dimension of doing tourism research (Pocock, 2015) sensitized
tourism researchers to the significance of emotion in understanding tourism
in all its complexity. These studies offer rich insights into the
ambivalent desires, affective flows and emotional geographies that shape
and are shaped by tourism, and provide a foundation for further advancement
into this emerging theoretical and empirical terrain. This special issue
invites papers that will contribute to a deeper understanding of emotional,
affective and sensuous phenomena in tourism studies.

The major questions that we want to address in this Special Issue center on
ways that travel and tourism are connected to the affective/affectual,
emotive/emotional, and/or sensuous. Moreover, what can be gleaned from
disciplines such as geography, sociology, tourism, mobility and cultural
studies that may provide analytic traction or generate conceptually and
empirically productive transformations in tourism studies? Following Sara
Ahmed (2013), we encourage paper submissions to address the question: *What
do embodied emotions, feelings, senses and affects do in tourism?*
Submissions can examine individual emotions (fear, joy, happiness, pride,
shame and the like), or senses working, consciously or at other than
conscious levels, alone or in concert. They can address more broadly
theoretical and methodological co-creations and co-performances of
emotions, feelings and senses in tourism studies. Potential themes we seek
to address in this special issue include:

   - The interplay between personal and public emotions in tourism contexts;
   - Affect and emotion as forces in tourism place making;
   - Emotion in tourism work;
   - Emotion as destination, i.e. traveling to feel certain feelings;
   - Mixed feelings and ambivalent desires in tourism, including negative
   and positive emotions such as fear, shame, discomfort, guilt, relief, or
   happiness;
   - Emotional, affective and pre-cognitive geographies of tourism;
   - The affective dimension of tourism research, including emotion as a
   way of knowing or feeling our way through research;
   - Politics of emotion in tourism places;
   - Passion and dispassion in tourism encounters;
   - The role of structure and agency in affect and emotional creations and
   encounters;
   - Mediated emotions at the intersection between technology and tourism.
