This book brings together, explores and expands socio-spatial
affect, emotion and psychoanalytic drives in tourism for the first
time. Affect is to be found in visceral intensities and resonances
that circulate around and shape encounters between and amongst
tourists, local tourism representatives and places. When affect
manifests, it can 'take shapes' in the form of emotions such as
fun, joy, fear, anger and the like. When it remains a visceral
force of latent bodily responses, affect overlaps with drives as
expounded in psychoanalysis. The aim of the title, therefore, is to
explore 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, with a detour to Iraq.
Affective Tourism is highly innovative as 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 has relevance for tourism industries in places in the proximity
of ongoing conflicts as it provides in-depth analyses of the
interconnections between tourism, danger and conflict. Such
understandings can lead to more socio-culturally and
politically-sustainable approaches to planning, development and
management of tourism. This ground breaking book will be of
valuable reading for students and researchers from a number of
fields such as tourism studies, geography, anthropology, sociology
and Middle Eastern studies.
