Taylor & Francis City Spaces Tourist Places Urban Tourism
Book SynopsisOver the last decade, commentaries and research on urban tourism precincts have predominantly focused on: their role in the tourism attractions mix; their physical and functional forms; their economic significance; their role as a catalyst for urban renewal; their evolution and associated development processes; and, perhaps more broadly, their role, locality and function within the context of urban planning. City Spaces â Tourist Places both consolidates and develops the extant knowledge of urban tourism precincts into a coherent research driven contemporary work. It revisits and examines the foundational literature but, more importantly, engages with aspects of precinct development that have previously been either underdeveloped or received only limited consideration, such as the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of the precinct experience. Written by an international team of contributors it provides the reader with:* A comprehensive analysis of foundational theory and cutting-edge advances in the knowledge of the precinct phenomenon * An examination of previously underdeveloped topics and themes based on contemporary and ground-breaking research * Typological and theoretical frameworks in which to locate precinct form, function and experienceBrilliantly edited to ensure theoretical continuity and coherence City Spaces â Tourist Places is vital reading for anyone involved in the study or planning of urban tourism precincts.Table of ContentsSection 1 – Foundations; Chapter 1: Urban tourism precincts: engaging with the field by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 2: Evolution of the tourism precinct by Costas Spirou; Chapter 3: Places and people: a precinct typology by Tony Griffin, Bruce Hayllar & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 4: Theorising precincts: disciplinary perspectives by Simon Darcy & Jennie Small; Section 2 - Key themes and issues; Chapter 5: Urban tourism precincts: an overview of key themes and issues by Deborah Edwards, Tony Griffin & Bruce Hayllar; Chapter 6: Precincts within the urban form: relationships with the city by Ian Kelly; Chapter 7: The structure and form of urban tourism precincts: setting the stage for tourist performances by Christopher Krolikowski & Graham Brown; Chapter 8: Precincts and the urban economy by Brent Ritchie; Chapter 9: The tourist experience of precincts by Martin Selby, Bruce Hayllar & Tony Griffin; Chapter 10: Conflicts and politics in precinct development by Glen Searle; Chapter 11: Visitor/host relationships: conviviality between visitors and host communities by Robert Maitland & Peter Newman; Section 3 - Precincts in practice; Chapter 12: Precinct planning and design, management and marketing: an overview by Tony Griffin, Bruce Hayllar & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 13: Precinct Case Study 1 Grote Markt Groningen by Gregory Ashworth; Chapter 14: Precinct Case Study 2 Darling Harbour by Deborah Edwards, Tony Griffin & Bruce Hayllar; Chapter 15: Precinct Case Study 3 London’s ‘south bank’ by Duncan Tyler and Munir Morad; Chapter 16: Precinct Case Study 4 Sheffield City Centre by Kirsten Holmes and Yasminah Beebeejaun; Chapter 17: Precinct Case Study 5 Evora (Portugal) and Hoi An (Vietnam) by Graham Brooks; Section 4 - Lessons for theory and practice; Chapter 18: City places: tourist spaces – a reprise by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin & Deborah Edwards.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Tourism and Identity in Scotland 17701914
Book SynopsisIn the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, legions of English citizens headed north. Why and how did Scotland, once avoided by travelers, become a popular site for English tourists? In Tourism and Identity in Scotland, 1770-1914, Katherine Haldane Grenier uses published and unpublished travel accounts, guidebooks, and the popular press to examine the evolution of the idea of Scotland. Though her primary subject is the cultural significance of Scotland for English tourists, in demonstrating how this region came to occupy a central role in the Victorian imagination, Grenier also sheds light on middle-class popular culture, including anxieties over industrialization, urbanization, and political change; attitudes towards nature; nostalgia for the past; and racial and gender constructions of the other. Late eighteenth-century visitors to Scotland may have lauded the momentum of modernization in Scotland, but as the pace of economic, social, and political transformations intensified inTrade Review'Essential to an understanding of the role of tourism in Scotland, one of the great success stories in the development of tourism. Draws on a fascinating range of visitors' diaries and journals. . . . Thoroughly enjoyable and readable.' Alastair Durie, The University of Stirling, Scotland 'Katherine Grenier's new study is a significant contribution to the expanding recent literature on tourism and identity in Scotland, and raises issues which as she points out still have a significant cultural resonance today, for Scots and for visitors to Scotland.' Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies ’... this book will help to redefine the research focus for anyone interested in the history, or indeed future, of the Scottish nation.’ Studies in Travel WritingTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Mapping North Britain, 1770-1810; The development of mass tourism, 1810-1914; Land of the mountain and the flood: tourists and the natural world; 'Free of one's century': tourism and the Scottish past; 'A fountain of renovating life': tourists and Highlanders; Postscript; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Affect and Emotion in Tourism
Book SynopsisBringing affect and emotion to the forefront of tourism studies, this book presents a new generation of scholars who consolidate emerging affective approaches and establish a route for scholarship that examines the roles of emotion and affect in tourism.Attuning to affect and emotion, this book steers the affective turn to encompass touring bodies and tourism places. Engaging the concept of affect as a constitutive element of social life often leaves academics grasping for terminology to describe something that is, by its very nature, beyond words. For this reason, as evident in the four interconnected sections of this volume, studying affect poses a significant and fruitful challenge to the status-quo of social scientific method and analysis. From African-American emotional labour while travelling, to visiting Banksy''s Dismaland park, to affective heritagescapes, self-love, and travelling mittens, and across socio-spatial theories of emotions, decolonial feminist theory, anTable of ContentsIntroduction: Attuning to affect and emotion in tourism studies Part 1: Emotion, Work and Power 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mobility
Book SynopsisMobility aims to take the pulse of this enormously expanded and energetic field. It explores the breadth of the disciplinary areas mobility studies now encompass, examining the diverse conceptual and methodological approaches wielded within the field, and explores the utility of mobility to illuminate a cornucopia of mobile lives: from the mass movements of individuals within global processes such as migration and tourism, to homelessness and war; from the entangled relations caught up in the movement of disease, people and aid across borders, to the inability of someone to cross over a road.The new edition explores the more sustained elaboration of mobility studies within a wide variety of disciplinary approaches and subject matters. It echoes the growing internationalization of mobility research, reflected in diverse case studies from the Global South, South Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and so far under-represented perspectives from China, Australasia,Trade Review"The revised edition to Mobility offers a clear and thorough introduction to the field of mobility studies. This indispensable overview takes readers on an expertly guided tour through the key concepts and crucial topics of study that have defined this vibrant field. Adey brings into conversation a wide range of historical and contemporary theorists from many disciplines and draws on a rich array of illustrative examples. Whether exploring the politics of mobility, urban infrastructures, borders and citizenship, mobile media or cultural meanings, he opens our eyes to the significance of differential mobility in shaping every aspect of life today."Professor Mimi Sheller, Department of Sociology, Director at Center for Mobilities Research and Policy, Drexel University, USA"Meticulously researched and updated to showcase the leading edge of contemporary mobilities scholarship, Mobility is truly a field-defining book. At a time when understanding the complexities of why and how things move or stay where they are is more vital than ever before, this book remains one of the most compelling travel guides to navigate this exciting, rapidly expanding field." Dr David Bissell, School of Sociology, The Australian National University, Australia"Mobility is a fantastic travel guide for anyone analyzing contemporary life. Peter Adey has a special talent for enabling a simultaneously philosophical and empirical appreciation of mobility that showcases how the study of im|mobilities can be richly productive of insight. As he embarks on a wide-ranging exploration of the movement of ‘little’ things like bacteria or CO2, and ‘big’ data, business and power, he connects tourism with offshoring, migration with securitization, elite mobilities with extraordinary rendition, everyday life, and the ideological and infrastructural moorings that differentially enable or constrain mobilities. An extremely useful book."Professor Monika Büscher, Director Centre for Mobilities Research, Associate Director for the Institute for Social Futures, Department of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK"Peter Adey’s Mobility has been the go-to reference work for students and researchers in our field. In this expanded second edition he continues to track the growing reach and consolidation of mobilities scholarship around the globe. Adey achieves what most of us can only aspire to. He manages to map the wealth of research this broad theoretical perspective has inspired, while maintaining a sense of the dynamism that has enabled the field to move on and surprise us. Mobility is a must-read for everyone interested in contemporary thinking in the Humanities and Social Sciences."Associate Professor Georgine Clarsen, School of History and Social Inquiry, The University of Wollongong, AustraliaTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgements1.
