| Tóm tắt: | This collection of chapters represents a further set of moves that will transform in
far-reaching ways the relations between ‘tourism’ and ‘mobilities’. Such a transformed
relationship coincides with my own trajectory. I came to mobilities through a
long and circuitous pathway that began in Morecambe, a once proud but now
run-down seaside resort in north-west England.
Some two decades ago I began to examine, initially in Morecambe, how
various places can only be understood as centres for the complex production
and consumption of tourist services. Further, such tourist services are not insignificant
or simply reflective of broader economic and social processes. They are
important or constitutive in their own right. The development of such services is
part of a process of structural differentiation, as ‘tourist times and spaces’ separate
themselves off as distinct organized systems with their own rules and dynamics.
Part of that differentiation is to generate new professional forms of expertise,
including tourism degree programmes.
But as that modern process of structural differentiation gathered pace it
came to be countered by what I saw as postmodern de-differentiation. There
was the implosion of ‘tourism’ into a wide range of other systems, of shopping,
entertainment, migration, sport, leisure, friendship, business, conferences, sex,
family life and so on. There is the end of ‘tourism’ per se. |
