Tourism, Power and Space: Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility

Autor Andrew Church, Tim Coles
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2011
This is the first volume to explicitly consider how leisure and tourism acts as a major focus by which power may be understood in a geographical context.
Key thinking and major approaches to unravelling the complexities of power are outlined in this collection and their relevance to current and future tourism studies is discussed. Tourism, Power and Space blends theoretical perspectives from leading power theorists such as: Parsons, Foucault and Clegg.
Exploring the intricacies of the relationships between power, tourism and leisure, this stimulating volume combines theoretical and empirical writings to illustrate the extent to which power, in its various forms and guises and at various scales of operation, impacts on the unfolding structures, practices and organization of tourism and leisure on both the demand and supply sides.
Divided into three sections: Power, Performance And Practice, Power, Property And Resources and Power, Governance And Empowerment; this text will be a useful resource for students and academics alike.
