Informationen zum Autor Dorina Maria Buda is a Rosalind Franklin Fellow and Assistant Professor in the Department for Cultural Geography at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Her scholarship in geographies of tourism revolves around interconnections between affect, emotion and psychoanalysis. Adopting a critical approach, she particularly focuses on tourism in areas of socio-political turmoil. Klappentext Affective Tourism explores 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 and Iraq. 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 provides in-depth analyses of the interconnections between tourism, danger and conflict, understandings that can lead to more socio-culturally and politically-sustainable approaches to planning, development and management of tourism.
