In this third of three cousin manuscripts on the call for disruptive qualitative research approaches, further treatment is proffered on the concerns and irritations that ‘soft science’ / 'subtle science' social scientists (and humanists, and posthumanists) are troubled by today. While the opening paper (by Hollinshead, Suleman, and Nair here in Tou...

This manuscript covers the commonplace restrictions of institutional thought within 'tourism' and 'the field of Tourism Studies'. It critiques Deleuzian ideas concerning the contretemps between emergent and open forms of nomadic conceptuality and established (or dogmatic) images of dominant understanding. In providing a synthesis of the Deleuzian c...

This manuscript applies a cross discilinary cum post disciplinary approach to scrutinising some of the metaphysical insights of French philosopher Deleuze on knowledge-production in the arts, film, literature, and science to like matters of authorial thinking within Tourism Studies. It seeks to translate his expansive thoughtlines on non-representa...

In general, this manuscript critiques the contemporary dynamisms of the formation/deformation of the cultural sphere under the increased mobilisations of globalization. In particular, it inspects the symphysis [ SYMPHYSIS] between 'tourism' and 'culture', where the latter stands as an immense portmanteau phenomenon embracing many different things (...

In this second of three related articles on the adoption of disruptive qualitative cum interpretive research approaches, further coverage is given to the contexts and issues that "soft science" social scientists (and humanists, and posthumanists) face today. While the first artricle (by Hollinshead, Suleman, and Nair here in the previous issue of T...

Recent years have witnessed the rise of many new and/or corrective approaches across the social sciences that have challenged the received assumptive frameworks through which the world is inspected and interpreted methodologically. Late decades have brought the rise of a new generation of scholars who work through "resistance politics" approaches i...

This chapter inspects the representation and projection of Aboriginal Australia in and through tourism. In examining the LONELY PLANET 'ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA GUIDE' (2001), the manuscript examines the ways in which Aboriginality / Aboriginalia is symbolised and presented today as a worldmaking force (after Hollinshead) and as a form of 'intelligent...

Starting with an inspection of Quinn's (2009) recent condemnation of 'Event Studies' as a rather 'disengaged' domain of research, the authors summarize what is known today about the declarative power of tourism in the coding and emplotment of spaces and places. In endeavoring to generate a working glossary to article how tourism indeed variously ma...

in a book on the paradoxes of tourism and tourism studies, this chapter introduces the hidden and unexpected truths of our time as they are and are not recognized in the field of tourism studies and related fields; principally deleuzian i[after deleuze and guattari] in force, the chapter backgrounds the ideas of deleuze on 'the dogmatic images of t...

DEFINITION OF WORLDMAKING [WORLDMAKING, TOURISM] prepared for the revised ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TOURISM: Springer 2021 = FIRST DRAFT Author: KEITH HOLLINSHEAD Independent Scholar: Chester & Nuneaton: England Worldmaking consists of that mix of projections/activities that institutions, interest-groups, individuals engage in to variously 'make', 'remak...

THE CRITICAL AND CREATIVE POWER OF TOURISM [AND TOURISM STUDIES] TO MAKE PEOPLES, PLACES, PASTS, AND PRESENTS ... ESPECIALLY IN POSTCOLONIAL SETTINGS / CONTEMPORARY CONTEXTS.

This manuscript from Hollinshead and Vellah calls for researchers in Tourism Studies and Related Fields to reflect upon their own role in refreshing the social imaginaries of "after-colonialism" under the nomadisms of our time. Deleuzian in outlook, it positions the "post" of postcolonialism not as an end to colonialism's imperatives but as a gener...

This synopsis covers the opening twenty-pages of the1993 dissertation, undertaken in the Department of Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Sciences at Texas A&M University.

[ abstract included with the document SeemDoxi-Cod.docx ]

This chapter applies some of the metaphysical insights of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) on the arts, film, literature, and science to matters of international tourism. It seeks to translate his thinking on non-representational geophilosophy to the acts of travel and tourism in terms of not what tourism is but what it does, notab...

OBITUARY FOR PROFESSOR GRAHAM DANN Former President of The International Sociological Association's Research Committee on INTERNATIONAL TOURISM and Founder Member of The International Academy for the Study of Tourism Obituary written by Prof. Keith Hollinshead (England) and Prof. Jens Jacobsen (Norway) on 4th Dec. 2018 Date of Funeral: Fri. 6th...

In this article the authors trace the development of attention that has been given to renovated constructions of Goodman's old concept of "worldmaking," as had been originally used in the arts and aesthetics in the 1970s. They reveal how the subject of worldmaking entered the lexicon of Tourism Studies at the turn of century through the transdiscip...

This chapter tracks its companion chapter on ‘ontology’ by scrutinising epistemological concerns in advanced qualitative research (or rather in critico-interpretive inquiry) in Tourism Studies in Asia. It labels epistemology as the metaphysical endeavour to inspect the manner by which (within a society or institution) knowledge is procured, i.e. ho...

This chapter inspects qualitative research pedigree in Tourism Studies in Asia ontologically. It provides an explanation of what ontology is (in focussing on matters of being and becoming), distinguishing it from epistemology (which focuses upon matters of knowing). In examining the received but scant literature on qualitative research (in general)...

HOLLINSHEAD AND CATON EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CONCEPT OF WORLDMAKING TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHO IS DOING WHAT TO WHOM, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, AND HOW THROUGH TOURISM. STARTING WITH HOMAGE TO GOODMAN'S ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF WORLDMAKING (TO DESCRIBE HOW REALMS OF THE ARTS AND AESTHETICS ARE 'VERSIONED'), THEY COVER HOLLINSHEAD'S INSIGHT INTO THE EV...

MANY COMMENTATORS ON TOURISM AND TRAVEL HAVE REGISTERED THE BELIEF THAT THERE IS SCARCELY ANY SUBJECT AS INHERENTLY POLITICAL AS TOURISM. INCREASINGLY, TOURISM IS FOUND TO BE A PRINCIPAL DEFINING INDUSTRY THAT INSCRIBES AND THEREBY MAKES PLACES AND SPACES. HOLLINSHEAD AND SULEMAN DISCUSS HOW TOURISM IS INEVITABLY A CONFLICTUAL PHENOMENON AT EACH OF...

This article draws from the work of recent commentators in Tourism Studies like Coles, Hall, and Duval (calling for much more prevalent adisciplinary/extradisciplinary cognition in Tourism Studies), like Franklin (demanding much more commonplace critique of the ways in which different societies are ordered), and like Hollinshead (bemoaning the gene...

In this article—which is based on my keynote presentation at the "Welcoming Encounters: Tourism Research in a Postdisciplinary Era" 2013 conference at the Institute of Ethnology, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland—I maintain that postdisciplinarity is a form of painstaking (in time and effort) inquiry that makes considered use of academic and non...

Definition of WORLDMAKING vis-à-vis Tourism / Tourism Studies. Commissioned by the publishers, Springer (Switzerland) Author = Prof. Keith Hollinshead Editors: J. Jafari +.

This companion article by Ivanova and Hollinshead seeks to show how “the changing same of the diasporic imaginal” (after Leroi Jones, via Gilroy) often conceivably constitutes “a wicked problem” (after Brown, Harris, and Russell) that is often so complex in its characteristics that hard and fast definitions about it (and solutions for its problemat...

This article is the first of a pair of manuscripts based on the assumption that different diaspora constitute various sorts of imagined communities that each comprise a dispersed association of ethnically and/or culturally and/or historically connected populations. These imagined but spread peoples appear (on the surface) to exhibit—to various degr...

Transformational tourism is about a change in thinking and behaviour through travel and tourism. In contrast to the first volume which focuses on tourist perspectives, this second volume focuses on host community perspectives of transformational tourism. This volume shows that through the tourist-host relationships, interacting with other people an...

This paper covers the recent widening of options in human inquiry in general and in Tourism Studies in particular. It argues that, as the epochal unity of the Western worldview currently de-classifies around the world, so should the normalizations of Tourism Studies research. Comparing the strengths of postpositivist (i.e., neopositivist), critical...

This book addresses the social and cultural side of events and explores the role they have in fostering change and community development. It examines the transformatory function of events in the context of development studies - as phenomena that can promote and facilitate human development, including social, societal and individual change. The book...

Each discipline / domain should regularly examine its effectivities regarding the representation and making of the socio-historical world . In inspecting the so-called global provocations of tourism, this presentation advances the view that the increasing dominion of tourism / Tourism Studies over matters of culture, heritage, and nature has not on...

In 2011, Heffernan produced Wilful Blindness, a text inspecting "why we [in our institutions] ignore the obvious, at our peril" as she examined the structures of both our brains and our institutions to see why we --- within our instrumentalities / corporations / organisations --- act with such sustained blindness and such deliberate indifferance to...

This book is about host-guest encounters in tourism, and specifically focuses on the host gaze. It identifies the aspects of the host gaze that distinguish it from the tourist gaze and from the conventional gaze encountered. It also identifies different types of host gazes and roles associated with them, as well as various categories of visitor tha...

In recent years, tourism has been increasingly posited as not just that set of ordinary promotional processes by which destinations are projected to visitors from afar (and by which those holiday-makers/trippers are managed there) but also as that mix of political and aspirational activities through which institutions and interest groups variously...

Recently, in Current Issues in Tourism, Coles, Hall, and Duval produced a very well-received inspection of the state of Tourism Studies/Tourism Management and acutely stated the case for the much more frequent and rigorous use of postdisciplinary forms of research in the (above) twin fields. This succeeding review article in Tourism Analysis is an...

Tourism increasingly has an important role to play not only in the interpretation of distant/removed populations for tourists, and in the fresh projection (i.e., in the enunciation) of populations who have been subjugated or suppressed by another "colonial" or "dominant" population of some kind. In recent years, for instance, a number of Aboriginal...

Mathews and Richter – amongst many – have condemned the paucity of political analyses in Tourism Studies, while Hall and Meethan have likewise bemoaned the field's related privileging of prescriptivist studies of policy making at the expense of longitudinal, descriptivist interpretations. Responding to such calls, this paper (on the under-suspected...

This review article is the second of a pair of articles that introduce the field of Tourism Studies/Tourism Management (hereafter Tourism Studies) to the concept of worldmaking as an operational construct to help critically describe the creative/inventive role and function of tourism in the making of culture and place. In the first article—the comp...

In 2001 Meethan produced a short but dense examination of tourism as a global phenomenon, investigating the political economy of tourism per medium of the so-called problem of cultural commodification. This article now attempts to distill Meethan's much-needed commentary on the complexities of the production of place, culture, and consumption, and...

This presentation seeks to encourage the more commonplace adoption of Foucauldian lines of inquiry in Tourism Studies. It seeks to render Foucault's important continental philosophy on the governmentality of things less 'distant' and more 'accessible'. It comprises a reflexive translation of Foucault's conceptual vocabulary to 'the order of things'...

This commentary on the state of the art of qualitative research in Tourism Studies is prompted and inspired by the recent appearance of Phillimore and Goodson's valuable coverage of the ontological and epistemological issues involved in the conduct of the enlarging body of qualitative research that has lately emerged in the field. It also stands as...

This paper covers the recent widening of options in human inquiry in general and in Tourism Studies in particular. It argues that, as the epochal unity of the Western worldview currently de-classifies around the world, so should the normalizations of Tourism Studies research. Comparing the strengths of postpositivist (i.e., neopositivist), critical...

Recently, Kirshenblatt-Gimblett authored a transdisciplinary text on the manufacture of culture and heritage, examining the politicized manner in which "locations" are turned into "destinations." While her book is not exclusively about tourism, it is loaded with insight on the role of tourism/travel as an agent of display, and as a highly performat...

In October 2002, the monstrous bombing of the Kuta Bay entertainment district in Bali was a climacteric wake-up call for all who work in Tourism Studies/Tourism Management. The al-Qaida attack on tourists in Indonesia starkly underlined the fact that tourism considerably matters as a realm of symbolism in the contemporary world. Many believe that t...

The canons of good praxis in the social sciences are changing. Along with the linguistic and hermeneutic (interpretive) challenges to ontology and epistemology exerted by continental philosophers and social theorists in the 20th century, have come dynamic changes in travel and tourism. We start this paper by tracing five important dynamisms in the...

According to Deleuze and Guattari (1987), too much of our understanding in and of the world, today, comes from fixed, static, and sedentary points of view, and we need new nomadic thoughtlines to understand how peoples, places and pasts are conceived, constructed, and valued. Drawing from Deleuze and Guattari, Featherstone (1995, p. 126) suggests t...

In 1992 Donald Horne–respected Australian author of The Lucky Country, The Great Museum… and The Public Culture…–produced an entertaining but enlightening work (The Intelligent Tourist) on the role and function of tourism as the modern form of secular pilgrimage. In this text, Horne perceptively explored tourism as public culture –the fashions by w...

During the last decade, particularly following the publication of Urry’s (1990, TheTourist Gaze: Leisure and Travel in Contemporary Society. London: Sage) text, the perspectival concept of the institutional/professional “gaze” has come into currency in tourism studies. while few reviews of Urry’s important work on the place and significance of tour...

This paper critiques the contribution which Bhabha (1994) has recently made to cultural theoretical thought on historical and temporal forms of ethnicity under the post-colonial moment. Since tourism is frequently dubbed the business of 'difference' and 'the other', par excellence, it synthesises not only what tourism researchers can learn from Bha...

This paper offers a critique of the theoretical insight on representation and signification in the making of culture which is contained within Stephen Fjellman's work on commodification Vinyl Leaves: Walt Disney World and America - a book which strangely is not yet frequently cited in the literature of cultural tourism or heritage tourism research....

Includes bibliographical references. Vita. Thesis (Ph. D.)--Texas A & M University, 1993. "Major subject: Recreation and Resources Development."

Is tourism another round of Western colonialism? This paper considers tourism's role in introducing travellers to the supposed ‘Red Indians’ of North America, who in Foucaultian terms, are increasingly coming under the powerful objectifying gaze of the tourist system — essentially, a ‘White’ gaze. Travel practitioners and tourists tend to absorb se...

Callicott, J. Baird (Ed.). Companion to “A Sand County Almanac”: Interpretive and Critical Essays. Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press. 1987. 293 pp. $12.95 (paper).

This paper develops the view that an essentially international field like Tourism Studies should have a high proportion of researchers defamiliarising themselves with both hard domain boundaries and closed disciplinary (and even closed interdisciplinary) systems of analysis. It argues that in a panoramic domain like Tourism Studies --- which has to...
