Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction. Toward an Anthropology of Tourism Imaginaries -- Part I. Imaginaries of Peoples -- 1. Toward Symmetric Treatment of Imaginaries: Nudity and Payment in Tourism to Papua’s “Treehouse People” -- 2. Scorn or Idealization? Tourism Imaginaries, Exoticization, and Ambivalence in Emberá Indigenous Tourism -- 3. Deriding Demand: Indigenous Imaginaries in Tourism -- 4. Myth Management in Tourism’s Imaginariums: Tales from Southwest China and Beyond -- 5. Tourism Moral Imaginaries and the Making of Community -- Part II. Imaginaries of Places -- 6. The Imaginaire Dialectic and the Refashioning of Pietrelcina -- 7. Temporal Fragmentation: Cambodian Tales -- 8. The Imagined Nation: The Mystery of the Endurance of the Colonial Imaginary in Postcolonial Times -- 9. Belize Ephemera, Affect, and Emergent Imaginaries -- 10. Envisioning the Dutch Serengeti: An Exploration of Touristic Imaginings of the Wild in the Netherlands -- Afterword. Locating Imaginaries in the Anthropology of Tourism -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.
