Travel, Tourism, and Identity
Author: Gabriel R. Ricci
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135130111X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Travel, Tourism and Identity addresses the psychological and social adjustments that occur when people make contact with others outside their social, cultural, or linguistic groups. Whether such contact is the result of tourism, seeking exile, or relocating abroad, the volume's contributors demonstrate how one's identity, cultural assumptions, and worldview can be brought into question. In some cases, the traveller finds that bridging the social and cultural gap between himself and the new society is fairly easy. In other cases, the traveller discovers that reorienting himself requires absorbing a new cultural history and traditions. The contributors argue that making these adjustments will surely enhance the traveller's or tourist's experience; otherwise the traveller or tourist will be at risk of becoming a marginalized figure, one disconnected from the society that surrounds him. This latest volume in the Culture & Civilization series features a collection of essays on travel and tourism. The essays cover a range of topics from historical travels to modern social identities. They discuss ancient travels, contemporary travels in Europe, Africa and sustainable eco-tourism, and the politics of tourism. Essays also address experiences of Grenada's "Spice Island" identity, and the effects of globalization and migrations on personal identity.

Tourism Safety, Security and Resilience
Author: Rami K. Isaac
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040258786
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
This significant volume critically explores the implications of tourism safety and security and how communities in tourism destinations try to be resilient in the face of these impacts. Written by leading scholars, this book offers new insight into the conceptual and practical knowledge of community resilience due to tourism security and safety issues. Chapters examine these topics through an integrated community perspective to provide comprehensive consideration of the interconnected facets of a community, encompassing social, economic, environmental and cultural dimensions when evaluating and addressing matters pertaining to tourism management, safety, security and resilience. This book is structured around different conceptual, theoretical and practical strategies employed by destinations to foster and sustain community resilience, particularly during periods of crises, as well as communities in the context of tourism recovery. It examines this across geographical borders and in many different contexts (not just locations) of tourism or types of tourism, such as religious tourism, and different types of crises, including natural disasters, pandemics and terrorism. This book is an essential reading for all tourism students, researchers and academics as well as for those interested in conflict and crises recovery.

Danger and Vulnerability in Nineteenth-century American Literature
Author: Jennifer Travis
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498563422
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Nineteenth-Century Americans saw danger lurking everywhere: in railway cars and trolleys, fireplaces and floods, and amid social and political movements, from the abolition of slavery to suffrage. After the Civil War, Americans were shaken by financial panic and a volatile post-slave economy. They were awe-struck and progressively alarmed by technological innovations that promised speed and commercial growth, but also posed unprecedented physical hazard. Most of all, Americans were uncertain, particularly in light of environmental disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, about their own city on a hill and the once indisputable and protective hand of a beneficent God. The disasters, accidents, and social and political upheavals that characterized nineteenth-century culture had enormous explanatory power, metaphoric and real. Today we speak of similar insecurities: financial, informational, environmental, and political, and we obsessively express our worry and fear for the future. Cultural theorist Paul Virilio refers to these feelings as the “threat horizon,” one that endlessly identifies and produces new dangers.Why, he asks, does it seem easier for humanity to imagine a future shaped by ever-deadlier accidents than a decent future? Danger and Vulnerability in Nineteenth Century American Literature; or, Crash and Burn American invites readers to examine the “threat horizon” through its nascent expression in literary and cultural history. Against the emerging rhetoric of danger in the long nineteenth century, this book examines how a vocabulary of vulnerability in the American imaginary promoted the causes of the structurally disempowered in new and surprising ways, often seizing vulnerability as the grounds for progressive insight. The texts at the heart of this study, from nineteenth-century sensation novels to early twentieth-century journalistic fiction, imagine spectacular collisions, terrifying conflagrations, and all manner of catastrophe, social, political, and environmental. Together they write against illusions of inviolability in a growing technological and managerial culture, and they imagine how the recognition of universal vulnerability may challenge normative representations of social, political, and economic marginality.
