Call for Papers
British International Studies Association Conference
June 12-14, 2019 in London
Panel Title: Global Tourism and Power
Abstract Deadline: 31 October 2018
Chairs: Sarah Becklake (Lancaster University) and Elisa Wynne-Hughes (Cardiff University)
Panel Abstract:
Despite being one of the largest industries in the world, widely touted as the tool of global sustainable development, and an immense form of cross-border human spatial mobility, tourism is often overlooked by international studies scholars.
This panel provides a space to theorize the historical, contemporary, and projected role of tourism in the world. It focuses on global tourism to appeal to those studying touristic performances, practices, and systems, at local, international, and/or global scales. It foregrounds power to emphasize how tourism is produced through and entangled in processes of governance, violence, inequality, and inclusion/exclusion. In acknowledging different forms of power, the panel will appeal to those employing critical political economy, gender and feminist, postcolonial, poststructural, and practice/performance approaches.
The panel invites papers on the following themes: the political economy of tourism; tourism and security; the touristification of institutions; tourism representations and encounters; touristic boundaries and identities; and, theoretical/conceptual advancement. By bringing together diverse scholars working on the power of/in global tourism, the panel will contribute to a scholarly network that can collaboratively contest the lack of critical attention given to tourism and the advance of an increasingly touristic future.
Submissions: Please send your abstracts of no more than 200 words to both Sarah (s.bec...@lancaster.ac.uk) and Elisa (Wynne-...@cardiff.ac.uk).
