CFP: IUAES2019: Mediating Travel: Digital Media, Tourism, and the Cosmopolitan Self in a Hyperconnected World
Apologies for cross-posting!
Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite paper submissions to the IUAES 2019 panel on
"Mediating Travel: Digital Media, Tourism, and the Cosmopolitan Self in a
Hyperconnected World", co-convened by Regev Nathansohn (Department of
Communication, Sapir Academic College) and Christian Ritter (MEDIT, Tallinn
University).
Panel title:
Mediating Travel: Digital Media, Tourism, and the Cosmopolitan Self in a
Hyperconnected World [Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism]
Short abstract:
Digital media technologies have transformed the relationships between hosts
and guests in tourist places. Inviting theoretical and empirical
contributions from the global south and north, this panel seeks to gain new
understandings of the mutual shaping of cosmopolitan selves and digital
media.
Long abstract:
Digital media technologies have profoundly reshaped travel practices and
tourist places. The Internet and digital platforms created a new realm of
experience within the global tourism industry, transforming the complex
relationships between hosts and guests. On the one hand, tourist blogs
disseminate travel narratives and visual representations of tourism sites
while reconfiguring the manifold tourism imaginaries. On the other hand,
tourism organizations adapt to the ubiquitous use of mobile devices in
everyday life by circulating more audio-visual content about tourist
destinations. In addition to tourism agencies, mobile applications mediate
among tourism actors at the global-local nexus. The authenticity of tourism
actors, services and objects is increasingly staged on the screens of
mobile devices, changing tourism culture in unprecedented ways. From Airbnb
to augmented reality apps new possibilities for solidarity between hosts
and guests and for the discovery of tourism sites are enabled, and
sometimes prevented. Bringing together tourism scholars who
ethnographically explore the digitalization of tourism, and digital
ethnographers who study the field of tourism, this panel seeks to gain new
understandings of the mutual shaping of cosmopolitan selves and digital
media.
We invite theoretical contributions and empirical case studies on the
different roles of digital media in contemporary tourism in the global
south and north. In what ways does digitalization reshape cosmopolitan
selves and solidarities between locals and tourists? How is the
authenticity of subjectivities digitally mediated and interpreted in a
context of widening dissemination of fake information? What are the
epistemological consequences of studying digitized tourist places?
