| [Call for papers] - Remembering in a Globalizing World: The Play and Interplay of Tourism, Memory, and Place
01 May 2013 > 30 November 2013
Contact name : Dr. Anne Hertzog Geo-cultural area : Asia Pacific, Other Location : Le Chambon sur Lignon France Overview : This conference seeks to uncover the role of tourism in this process of historicisation through diverse epistemological approaches. The aim of this conference is to examine the ways in which memory is appropriated in tourism, both at the individual and collective level, in the articulation of identities, the construction of imaginaries about people and places, the re-invention of the past as an instrument of rule and dominance and as form of resistance. In the context of increasing mobilities - particularly in the forms of neo-nationalism and transnationalism - the conference seeks to confront the rise of memory and its social values in touristic practice. |
