Opis

Affective Tourism explores how and in what ways affects, emotions and drives are felt and performed in tourism encounters in places of socio-political turmoil such as Jordan, Palestine/Israel and Iraq. It offers a new way of theorising tourism encounters bringing together, critically examining and expanding three areas of scholarship: affective and emotional geographies, psychoanalytic geographies and dark tourism. It provides in-depth analyses of the interconnections between tourism, danger and conflict, understandings that can lead to more socio-culturally and politically-sustainable approaches to planning, development and management of tourism.
