Download or read book The Cultural Moment in Tourism written by Laurajane Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a response to the burgeoning interest in cultural tourism and the associated need for a coherently theorized approach for understanding the practices that such an interest creates. Cultural tourism has become an important and popular aspect of contemporary tourism studies, as well as providing a rich seam of upscale product development opportunities in the industry as a whole. Much of the related literature, however, focuses upon describing and categorizing cultural tourism from a supply-side perspective. This has prompted the taxonomizing of cultural tourists on the basis of their level of involvement and interest in cultural tourism products and/or their economic worth as a sought after market segment. There have been few recent attempts at a rigorous re-theorization of the issues beyond conventional representational theories; this book aims to fill that void. This groundbreaking volume provides a theoretical and empirical account of what it means to be a cultural or heritage tourist. It achieves this by exploring the interactions of people with places, spaces, intangible heritage and ways of life, not as linear alignments but as seductive ‘moments’ of encounter, engagement, performance and meaning-making, which are constitutive of cultural experience in its broadest sense. The book further explores encounters in cultural tourism as events that capture and constitute important social relations involving power and authority, self-consciousness and social position, gender and space, history and the present. It also explores the consequences these insights have for our understanding of culture and heritage and its management in the context of tourist activity. In capturing the ‘cultural moment’, this book provides a better understanding of the motivations, on-site activities, meaning constructions and other cultural work done by both tourists and tourist operators. The volume confronts and explores the cultural, political and economical interrelations between culture, heritage and the tourism industry. In so doing, it also investigates how this co-mingling of identity, representation and social life may be better apprehended with the wider shift in critical thought towards notions of affect and performativity. The book is a fundamental and influential contribution to research in this field. It will be of significant value to students, academics and researchers interested in this broad topic area.

Download or read book Toad in the Mud written by Ronald L. Conkle and published by Ronald Conkle. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Happens When You Wake Up 65 Years Late- And Are No Longer a Second-Class Citizen? In 1932, Emma Mae Brown-a young, pregnant Southern black woman-thought she was signing up for some quick cash. The task seemed simple: Go to sleep for a couple weeks as part of a government-funded research project. It was all part of a secret contingency plan designed to keep key Americans alive for an indefinite period of time without undue hardship on the body-like frogs hibernating in the mud during long drought periods. But policies shift. Projects get canceled. And what was supposed to last five weeks ended up taking 65 years. Fast forward to 1997. Some young medical students are about to discover what remains of this long-forgotten experiment in an old abandoned research facility in Los Angeles County. Their shocking finding will cause a sensation-and rewrite the rules of science. Now, a resuscitated Emma Mae Brown finds herself in a very different place at a very different time. After a long rehabilitation, she's faced with a culture and a lifestyle she knows nothing about. Then there's the challenge of raising children-fathered by a man she had met only the day before the experiment. And when her 1930s, Jim Crow-era survival skills clash with the 1990s, the government decides to get involved-and tries to take away the one thing that Emma knows she can count on...
