This collection presents an expanded notion of spectatorship with a more dynamic sense of embodied and performed engagement with places. The approach resonates with ideas in anthropology, sociology, and geography on performance, invented traditions, constructed places and traveling cultures. Contributions highlight the often contradictory, contested and paradoxical constructions of landscape and community involved both in tourist attractions and among tourists themselves. The collection examines many different practices, ranging from the energetic pursuit of adventure holidays to the reading of holiday brochures. It illustrates different techniques of seeing the landscape and a variety of ways of creating and performing the local. Chapters thus demonstrate the mutual entanglement of practices, images, conventions, and creativity. They chart these global flows of people, texts, images, and artefacts. Case studies are drawn from diverse types of tourism and destination focused around North America, Europe, and Australasia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Tables\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJeremy Boissevain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Grounded Tourists, Travelling Theory\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSimon Coleman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMike Crang\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eTHE PLACE OF NATURE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e The Accelerated Sublime: Thrill-seeking Adventure Heroes in the Commodified Landscape\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eClaudia Bell\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJohn Lyall\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Making the Scene: The Poetics and Performances of Displacement at the Grand Canyon\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMark Neumann\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e The Scottish Highlands as Spectacle\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFraser MacDonald\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eBACK TO THE CITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Acing Local: Two Performances in Northern Italy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePaola Filippucci\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"Cose Paesane\"\u003c\/i\u003e: Enacting Ambivalent Identities in the Italian Alps\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eKeith Ridler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Go Athens: A Journey to the Centre of the City\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePenny Travlou\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Adventure Tourists and Locals in a Global City: Resisting Tourist Performances in London's 'East End'\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJohn Eade\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eDISTANCIATED PLACES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Welcome to Flintstones-Land: Contesting Place and Identity in Goreme, Central Turkey\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHazel Tucker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Performing Place: A Hyperbolic Drugstore in Wall, South Dakota\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEve Melzer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Farming, Dreaming and Playing in Iowa: Japanese Mythopoetics and Agrarian Utopia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eCharles Fruehling Springwood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eBRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/b\u003e The Power of Metaphors in Tourism Theory\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDavid Chaney\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/b\u003e Surrounded by Place: Embodied Encounters\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDavid Crouch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041428898135,"sku":"9781571817457","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571817457.jpg?v=1750950244","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/tourism-between-place-and-performance-9781571817457","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
