    Book SynopsisAccording to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), international tourists engaging in cultural activities accounted for more than 500 million of international tourist numbers in 2017. City tourism relies on culture as a major product, providing benefits not only for interested visitors, but also for the local resident population. New trends in tourism include experiential tourism, where the interactions between tourists and residents become a key part of the tourism experience and overall customer satisfaction. New technologies and IT applications allow tourists to design their own trip, given the presence of global companies like Trip Advisor, Booking.com and AirBnB.This comprehensive volume explores new trends in cultural tourism, demonstrating how and why culture has become a central factor in tourism. The authors analyse a wide range of relevant issues, including: how heritage-based and cultural tourism could contribute to the sustainability of destinations; the Table of ContentsPreface Andres Artal-Tur and Metin Kozak Introduction: Culture and Cultures in Tourism Andres Artal-Tur Part I: Cultural and Heritage Tourism 1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd From PostIntersectionality to Black Decolonial

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn this accessible and yet challenging work, Shirley Anne Tate engages with race and gender intersectionality, connecting through to affect theory, to develop a Black decolonial feminist analysis of global anti-Blackness. Through the focus on skin, Tate provides a groundwork of historical context and theoretical framing to engage more contemporary examples of racist constructions of Blackness and Black bodies. Examining the history of intersectionality including its present post-intersectionality', the book continues intersectionality's racialized gender critique by developing a Black decolonial feminist approach to cultural readings of Black skin's consumption, racism within body beauty institutions' (e.g. modelling, advertising, beauty pageants) and cultural representations, as well as the affects which keep anti-Blackness in play.This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students in gender studies, sociology and media studies.Table of Contents1 Black skin affections: Black feminist decolonial reading into freedom; 2 Feeling our way: Black skin’s affective politics and intersectionality; 3 Racialized fascination: Modelling and skin shade; 4 White fear-hate of Black men’s bodies: Masculinity and skin affective politics; 5 Beauty pageants: The global politics of skin shade; 6 Conclusion: Intersectional skin still matters: Thinking in Black

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies is a key reference work in contemporary scholarship situated at the intersection between Gender and Fat Studies, charting the connections and tensions between these two fields.Comprising over 20chapters from a range of diverse and international contributors, theReader is structured around the following key themes: theorizing gender and fat; narrating gender and fat; historicizing gender and fat; institutions and public policy; health and medicine; popular culture and media; and resistance. It is an intersectional collection, highlighting the ways that gender and fat always exist in connection with multiple other structures, forms of oppression, and identities, including race, ethnicity, sexualities, age, nationalities, disabilities, religion, and class.The Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies is essential reading for scholars and advanced students in Gender Studies, Sexuality Studies,Trade Review"Fatness is highly intertwined with gender, given that fat stigma affects women and so do appearance norms. I was delighted to see a book devoted to this intersection with an impressive array of scholarly articles."Esther Rothblum, Editor, Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society"A must read for insurgent activist-intellectuals working for fat liberation and the radical change that involves, imagines, and incites. Authors in The Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies, yet again, with rigour, courage, originality, and a commitment to the collective, raise the bar for engaged scholarship."Lucy Aphramor, Associate Professor Gender, Power, and the Right to Food, Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience, Coventry University UK Table of ContentsPart I: Introduction; 1 Connecting Gender and Fat: Feminism, Intersectionality and Stigma; Part II: Discourses of Gender and Fat; 2 Undesirably Different: Hyper(in)visibilty and the Gendered Fat Body; 3 Gendered Fat Bodies as Neoliberal Bodies ; 4 To Have and Not to Hold: Queering Fatness; 5 Antiblackness, Gender and Fat; Part III: Narrating Gender and Fat; 6 Embodied Narration; 7 Fat Stories; Part IV: Historicizing Fatness; 8 The Politics of Fat and Gender in the Ancient World; 9 Historicizing Black Women’s Anti-Fatness; Part V: Gender and Fat in Institutions and Public Policy; 10 Public Policy and the Repercussions of Fat Stigma on Women and Children; April Michelle Herndon ; 11 Anti-fat and Anti-Latina Discourse and Policy in the United States; 12 Fatness, Gender, and Academic Achievement in Secondary and Postsecondary Education; Part VI: Gender and Fat in Health and Medicine ; 13 Eating Disorders, Gender, and Fat: Theorizing the Fat Body in Feminist Theories of Eating Disorders; 14 Immovable Subjects, Unstoppable Forces: Bariatric Surgery, Gender, and the Body; 15 Gender, Fat, and "Reproductive" Healthcare: Negotiating Fat Pregnancy in the Context of Eugenics; Part VII: Gender and Fat in Popular Culture and Media ; 16 Sexy, Docile Bodies: The Objectification and Paternalistic Management of Plus-Size Models; 17 Big-Gay Men Entering the Twenty-First Century: Global Perspectives on Fat-Affirming Subcultures and Imagery; 18 From Hattie McDaniel to Queen Latifah: Examining a New Mammy and other Fat Black Women Representations in Contemporary Media ; Part VIII: Gender, Fat and Resistance ; 19 Coming Out as Fat; 20 Fat Community; 21: Belle di Faccia: Fat Activism in Italy; 22 "Your belly is a heap of wheat:" a Torah of Fat Liberation; 23 Don’t Forget to Be Yourself; Part IX: In Memoriam Chapter 24 Friend of Cat
