The theme of this book is the phenomenon of tourism and knowledge
construction in tourism. Adopting a broad understanding of the
paradigmatic field of tourism as the evolution and relationship
between established and emergent schools of thought, this book
explores the dynamics between tourism knowledge and the phenomenal
world of tourism. It addresses contemporary epistemological debates
and examines what constitutes tourism knowledge and how tourism
knowledge is acquired. Issues examined in the chapters of this
volume include: the nature and conceptualization of paradigms; the
historical evolution of tourism knowledge production; embodiment,
positionality and situated knowledges; paradigmatic proposals such
as critical theory, feminism, humanism, cosmopolitanism,
post-political theory and constructivism; a critical exploration of
the power relations, contradictions and fragmentation in tourism
research; ontologies and conceptualization of tourism and the
tourist. This volume invites a critical evaluation and discussion
of the anchorage of tourism as a knowledge domain and of tourism as
science.
