Place is integral to tourism. In tourism, almost all issues can
ultimately be traced back to human-place interactions and
human-place relationships. Sense of place, also referred to as
place attachment, topophilia, and community sentiment, has received
significant attention in tourism studies because it both
contributes to, and is affected by, tourism. This book, written by
notable authors in the field, examines sense of place and place
attachment in terms of a typology of sense of place/place
attachment that includes genealogical/historical,
narrative/cultural, economic, ideological, cosmological, and
dynamic elements. Dimensions of place attachment such as place
identity, place dependence, and affective attachment are discussed
as well as place marketing, place making, and destination
management. Complete with a range of illustrative international
cases and examples ranging from Santa Claus to the importance of
place in indigenous and traditional cultures, this book represents
a substantial addition to knowledge on the inseparable relationship
between tourism and place and will be of great interest to all
upper-level students and researchers of Tourism.

However divergent their analyses may be in other ways, some
prominent anti-capitalist critics have remained critical of
contemporary debates over reparative justice for groups
historically oppressed and marginalized on the basis of race,
gender, sexual identity, sexual preference, and/or ability, arguing
that the most these struggles can hope to produce is a more
diversity-friendly capital. Meanwhile, scholars of gender and
sexuality as well as race and ethnic studies maintain that, by
elevating the socioeconomic above other logics of domination,
anti-capitalist thought fails to acknowledge specific forms and
experiences of subjugation. The thinkers and activists who appear
in Totality Inside Out reject this divisive logic altogether.
Instead, they aim for a more expansive analysis of our contemporary
moment to uncover connected sites of political struggle over racial
and economic justice, materialist feminist and queer critique,
climate change, and aesthetic value. The re-imagined account of
capitalist totality that appears in this volume illuminates the
material interlinkages between discrepant social phenomena, forms
of oppression, and group histories, offering multiple entry points
for readers who are interested in exploring how capitalism shapes
integral relations within the social whole. Contributors: Brent

This edited text, intended to support a research-informed approach
to learning and teaching, presents an array of concepts,
collaborations and in-depth cases related to managing events,
festivals and the visitor economy. Authors offer an array of
philosophical, political, cultural, and ethical perspectives on how
to achieve this across a range of contexts, from Cambodia, China,
Egypt to the British cathedral city of Lincoln. Though recognising
individual difference, each chapter unites in their common pursuit
of supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(UNSDGs). This is significant as utilising the UNSDGs as a
normative organising framework for how we all think about, plan,
and manage a 'good' visitor economy is increasingly ubiquitous. It
is with this in mind that each chapter provides explicit links to
the UNSDGs and policy and/or practical implications, along with a
series of critical self-assessment questions to reflect on the
chapter's key arguments. This collection aims to satiate what
appears to be an increasing appetite of readers and students alike
who seek exposure to rigorous debate in and out of the classroom.
