This article explores the concept of ‘liminality,’ tracing its development from the work of the French ethnologist Arnold van Gennep, to the pioneering theoretical anthropology of Victor Turner, and goes on to consider ways that ideas of liminality have informed more recent discussions and debates, particularly in relation to the anthropology of ex...

This book is a welcome contribution to the study of tourism, particularly in the way in which it brings together and foregrounds in one place issues relating travel and tourism to men, ideas of masculinity and male sexuality.

This book addresses this need by examining intersections between the social scien...

The idea of 'doing' tourism anthropology is one that prompts reflection on a number of issues, not least those that invite us to consider the merits of its negation: of 'undoing' some of the shibboleths that have attached themselves to the subject area. Accordingly, in this paper we argue that there is a need to delineate more clearly a sense of in...

This book addresses some new developments in approaches towards tourism analysis that focus on the interface between the production and consumption of tourist space, the narratives that are created around specific sites and specific forms of tourist activity, and the ways in which these are created, picked up, modified and incorporated into the nar...

The study of the tourist subject has been largely absent from the social science literature in tourism studies. Where discussions of the practice of tourism have taken place these have mainly centred around notions of the gaze. This perspective ignores the embodied and felt nature of the tourist experience and other senses such as smell and hearing...

Wood (1994a) has argued that there have been few attempts to understand what the concept of hospitality actually means.
