Informationen zum Autor Jillian Rickly is Assistant Professor of Tourism Marketing and Management in the Nottingham University Business School at the University of Nottingham! UK.Kevin Hannam is Professor of Tourism at Edinburgh Napier University! UK! and a research affiliate at the University of Johannesburg! South Africa.Mary Mostafanezhad is Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Zusammenfassung This book reframes tourism! as well as leisure! within mobilities studies to challenge the limitations that dichotomous understandings of home/away! work/leisure! and host/guest bring. A mobilities approach to tourism and leisure encourages us to think beyond the mobilities of tourists to ways in which tourism and leisure experiences bring other mobilities into sync! or disorder! and as a result re-conceptualizes social theory. The proposed anthology stretches across academic disciplines and fields of study to illustrate the advantages of multi-disciplinary conversation and! in so doing! it challenges how we approach studies of movement-based phenomena and the concept of scale. Part One examines the ways in which mobility informs and is informed by leisure! from everyday practices to leisure-inspired mobile lifestyles. Part Two investigates individuals and communities that become entrepreneurial in the face of changing tourism contexts and reflects on the performance of work through multiple mobilities. Part Three turns to issues of development! with attention to the cultural politics that frame development encounters in the context of tourism. The varied ways that people move into and out of development projects is mediated by geopolitical discourses hat can both challenge and perpetuate geographic imaginations of tourism destinations.
