Présentation Tourism, Magic And Modernity de David Picard Format Broché
- Livre Science humaines et sociales, Lettres
Résumé :
Drawing from extended fieldwork in La R?union, in the Indian Ocean, the author suggests an innovative re-reading of different concepts of magic that emerge in the global cultural economics of tourism. Following the making and unmaking of the tropical island tourism destination of La R?union, he demonstrates how destinations are transformed into magical pleasure gardens in which human life is cultivated for tourist consumption. Like a gardener would cultivate flowers, local development policy, nature conservation, and museum initiatives dramatise local social life so as to evoke modernist paradigms of time, beauty and nature. Islanders who live in this 'human garden' are thus placed in the ambivalent role of 'human flowers', embodying ideas of authenticity and biblical innocence, but also of history and social life in perpetual creolisation....
Biographie: David Picard is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA) at New University of Lisbon, Portugal. He holds a PhD in anthropology from the University of La Reunion, Indian Ocean and has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.
Sommaire:
A comprehensive ethnographic study of tourism and tourism development An innovative re-reading of different uses of concepts of magic in the contemporary world An approach of tourism to study the ideological underpinnings of modernity A uniquely accessible writing style based on long reportage model...
...an excellent and engaging commentary on the tourism industry, postcolonial societies and environmental governance. Its strength lies in the nuance and intricacy of its portrayals of social life and the way that it opens up a difficult yet much needed theoretical space in which to contemplate issues such as how we should investigate tourist subjectivity, how collective imaginaries are formed and sustained, and how dynamics of affect and desire constitute tourism as a social practice. Its readability and the vividness of characterisations in Picard's accounts of his ethnographic observations will make the book an accessible and appealing text to students of tourism studies and social anthropology, and to these fields it makes a notable contribution. * Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change Picard re-thinks basic tourism theory through the lens of the garden as a metaphor and of magic as a guiding concept. Original, innovative, scholarly, often unsettling, and deeply ethnographic. * Edward M. Bruner, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Author of The Anthropology of Experience(1986, ed. with Victor W. Turner) and Culture on Tour: Ethnographies of Travel (2005) ... a brilliant reading of the key metaphors of 'magic', the 'garden', and 'paradise',... a rare, psychoanalytically informed examination of the intimate contours of tourist experience and the types of society it brings about in destinations. * Dean MacCannell, University of California, Davis. Author of The Tourist (1976) and The Ethics of Sightseeing (2011) - a very competently crafted book - the author should be congratulated - [a] wonderfully fluent, evocative writing style. * Jan Harwell, Oxford Brookes University
