饮食地理与跨地方饮食文化生产

全球化远非一个去地方化的过程,而是一个在全新关系体系中重新定义地方性,并生产出新的地方性的过程.全球化背景下,人和企业的频繁迁移突破了以往的既定边界,形成了越来越多的"跨地方(translocality)".而饮食的地方性是食品之源,是基于全球化背景对"地方身份(place identity)"的最好表征.伴随人文地理的"批判"转向和"文化"转向,饮食地理(Geographies of Food)成为文化地理学的重要议题.Progress in Human Geography杂志曾三次报道"饮食地理学"研究相关进展.

文化旅游景点简介英译的文化缺省与重构策略

文化旅游景点简介的英译研究,对促进中国旅游业发展与中华优秀传统文化对外传播具有重要意义。本文从接受美学视角出发,探究了文化旅游景点简介中的文化缺省现象,并提出了音译加注释法、删除法、意译法和增词法等重构策略,论证了接受美学中两个重要概念“期待视野”和“审美距离”在旅游景点简介英译中的指导意义,以期对未来文化旅游景点简介的英译实践提供借鉴。     

饮食旅游动机对游客满意度和行为意向的影响研究

饮食旅游是近年来发展最快的旅游类型之一,但有关游客动机和行为的研究却很少.文章构建结构方程模型,剖析饮食旅游的推动和拉动动机要素,明确旅游动机对游客满意度和行为意向的作用机制.在澳门进行问卷调查获得368个有效样本后,检验假设模型,发现饮食旅游的推动动机为休闲放松、饮食猎奇和文化探索,拉动动机包括饮食产品和配套服务;休闲放松、文化探索和饮食产品对满意度有正向影响,饮食猎奇要素对行为意向有正向影响.文章从供求两方面明确了饮食旅游的参与原因及其后续效应,为发展饮食旅游、提升游客满意度和忠诚度提供了指导.     

分析中西比较美术学的研究规律及其意义

中西比较美术学传播到我国仅短短的100年左右时间,将我国与西方的比较美术学对比,不难发现其并没有得到一个良好的发展前景。也一直被比较文学所遮掩。中西比较美学有着无可比拟的单一性、独特性。它的基本内涵包括了美术理论、美术研究、美术实践、美术批评。因此其主要的观点是美术研究方法与比较美术学研究的综合。     

海外移民返乡家庭旅游的集体记忆和国家认同建构

对于海外移民返乡的研究,学者们往往聚焦于解析其返乡动机、探访祖国家园的行为,以及返乡旅游对国家认同的影响,而对其返乡旅游过程中形成的集体记忆及其对国家认同的建构的作用却鲜有涉及。该研究选择10个北美华侨家庭就返乡家庭旅游开展联合访谈,运用叙事研究方法,解析其返乡家庭旅游的集体记忆和国家认同建构。研究发现,海外移民返乡家庭旅游集体记忆的信息遵循"地点""活动""感受"三者之间互动影响的逻辑进行建构,通过分享行为来维系;而国家认同随着集体记忆的形成而建构,并通过日常实践体现出代际差异性、传承性和垂直传播性。该研究对海外移民的返乡研究、集体记忆和国家认同研究具有一定的理论和实践指导意义。     

基于生活美学的旅游审美探析——从观光到休闲

生活、旅游、美,都是复杂的概念,其内涵在实践领域不断被拓展,其本质在理论领域不断被重新认识和探究.从马克思主义美学的历史起点“美是生活”,到实践论美学,再到美学的生存论转向,以及美学“生活论”回归,这些都为研究本体论视角的旅游审美提供了理论和现实基础.当代的旅游审美趣味是多元和世俗的.在生活美学视野中,旅游之美在于天人合一,在于能动超越.从观光旅游到休闲度假,反映了人们审美情趣和审美方式的流变.观光旅游审美注重感性认识,休闲旅游审美注重感性存在,是对生命中感性价值的确认.从观光到休闲,审美是感性超越的过程,体现在对时空的超越、对审美主客两分的超越,以及对体验的超越.旅游审美通过活泼泼的生命体验,最终超越感性,能动地从生命存在的意义上获得美,完满生活、成就生命.日常生活既充满着感性的愉悦,也承载着深沉的精神期望.生活本身的丰富性造就了旅游审美的丰富性,生活关学视角的旅游审美是激发、是唤醒、是重新发现.旅游审美本质上是对生命归属和文化价值的寻觅,其本体意义在于成就审美的人.     

国外美食与旅游研究述评——兼谈美食旅游概念泛化现象

饮食作为旅游体验中重要的组成部分,受到不少学者的关注,已积累了丰富的研究成果.21世纪初更是提出了以美食为核心的旅游,成为特殊兴趣旅游中的重要分支.文章对于国外美食与旅游的相关文献从“旅游中的饮食”和“美食旅游”两个方面进行了归纳和梳理.文献研究发现,作为旅游产品组成的饮食和美食旅游,这两个概念在研究过程中存在着相互替代、界限模糊的现象.而美食旅游概念泛化现象将导致研究过程中美食旅游者数量被人为放大,美食旅游对旅游目的地贡献被高估,真正的美食旅游者需求被忽视.文章提出要从美食在旅游过程中的中心性出发讨论美食旅游、美食旅游者和美食旅游者的体验.     

游客对目的地的信任:维度及其作用

近年来,不少旅游目的地存在"失信于民"的现象,典型如"三亚天价海鲜事件",这些现象极大地影响了游客对旅游目的地的信任,并进而影响到其对目的地的旅游体验、目的地的选择,等等。因此,有关游客对目的地信任问题的研究已成为一个迫切而重要的课题。基于此,文章立足于游客对目的地的信任问题,在参考已有旅游信任研究成果的基础上,借鉴社会心理学与营销学中关于人际信任与品牌信任的研究成果,首先探究游客对目的地信任的维度,其次考察其对游客满意度、游客重游意愿与推荐意愿的影响。文章通过对多渠道收集而来的479份实地调查问卷进行分析,发现游客对目的地的信任属于二阶因子结构,其维度包括游客对目的地的感知能力、感知友善与感知正直,进一步分析了3个不同维度对游客满意度、游客重游意愿与推荐意愿的影响。最后,文章对目的地信任形象的建设实践提出了相关建议,并对未来的研究方向进行了讨论。     

The consequences of forty years of tourism growth

Leisure travel has become a major lifestyle in the United States since World War II. This paper describes the social, economic, and technological changes that have been adopted by the industry and society during three eras of travel evolution. A synoptic view of the development of travel is provided by a review of five travel industry components: transportation, attractions, facilities and services, information, and the consumer. Emphasis is placed on the consequences of the adoption of major social and technological innovations that have impacted this vibrant industry and will continue to do so in the future. The paper concludes with eight observations on the present and future status of leisure travel in the United States.     

Liberation wars and tourism development in Africa : The case of Zambia

Development of Africa's immense tourism potential is severely limited for reasons including lack of capital, distance from the large North American and European markets, the cost of travel to Africa, and Africa's poor image abroad. A key factor contributing to this image problem is political instability. Since World War II, almost all African countries have achieved independence. In several countries, this decolonization process has taken the form of long and often bloody liberation wars. This paper examines the impact of Zimbabwe's protracted liberation war on tourism development in Zambia and suggests that a detailed examination of major internal and external political events associated with the decolonization process in Zimbabwe could provide important perspectives on the obstacles to tourism development in other African countries.     

Towards a geography of tourism

This paper traces the development of geographical interest in tourism during the past half century and examines the range and scope of the geography of tourism. The available literature is reviewed and suggestions are made regarding possible research aveneus and theoretical developments. Six major areas of interest are identified: spatial aspects of supply, spatial aspects of demand, the geography of resorts, patterns of movements and flows, the impact of tourism, and models of tourist space. Through an emphasis on spatial interaction an attempt is made to provide some cohesion and synthesis for this body of knowledge which constitutes the basis of the geography of tourism.     

The rediscovery of America: Elite automobile touring

The automobile has radically changed tourist habits this century. In the first decade it was enthusiastically embraced by a small, wealthy elite. In America this elite “rediscovered” the romantic northeastern scenery painted by the Hudson Valley School of artists. This process is documented both in the general elite tourist literature of the period and in a specific case study from an elite summer colony. In the second decade “mass followed class.” Cheaper automobiles allowed the middle classes to follow the elite tourists of the first decade. The elite began to lose interest in the automobile as something exclusive to them, and turned their attention to the possibilities for touring of aviation.     

Towards Strategic Intent: Perceptions of disability service provision amongst hotel accommodation managers

The tourism sector globally has become increasingly mindful of how an ageing population is reshaping service provision forms and offerings. This being particularly true of accommodation operations where there is a now a growing recognition of the commercial value for providing market groups with exceptional service. With this in mind, this study sought to ascertain the perceptions of managers in the accommodation sector towards disability service provision with a view to identifying any current service gaps or failings. An inductive, qualitative approach was used with the data collection phase incorporating a series of one on one interviews and a focus group. The in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 managers of hotels deemed to have accessible rooms that complied with the relevant building codes and standards. A focus group comprised 22 managers of hotels located in the Sydney central business district, Australia. Study findings revealed five key themes that had not been previously discussed in the literature. They were: inclusive attitudinal approach; safety; the responsibility of people with a disability to communicate their needs to the hotel; perceptions of accessible rooms by the general public; and operational processes. Related themes that emerged from the data analysis that had previously been aligned with the literature included: legislative responsibility, policy and building codes; disability as a market segment; staff awareness/training; and language, marketing, and promotion information. Implications with respect to management of accessible rooms in the accommodation sector are outlined and further areas of research are proposed.     

The failure of ‘control’ in the hospitality industry

This paper explores the relationship between the literature on the issue of control and the realities of the hospitality industry. Management control is related to the unsanctioned entrepreneurial activities of operatives (illustrated by the ‘taxi scam’), the failure of computer systems used to control operatives, and the failure of the hospitality industry to exploit the potential of the new technology. The paper suggests that management's (and a significant part of the literature in this area) failure within hospitality is linked to the perception of the role of the hospitality manager as one of policing the industry.     

A tourist space-time budget in the Shetland Islands

This paper addresses the need to better understand tourist pressure in selected regions of the Shetland Islands, United Kingdom, using measures of space, time, perception, region, and core-periphery. Normally an economic theory, core-periphery was applied in the context of this study as a locational and mental construct in examining tourism group movement (behavior). Respondents were placed into two groups on the basis of their activitybased motivations for visiting Shetland and asked to complete a daily space-time budget regarding their use of attractions, facilities, accommodation, and transportation. It was discovered that both groups differed marginally in their space-time use of the aforementioned variables within the various regions of Shetland.     

The geography of tourism: An introduction

The geography of tourism is limited by a dearth of published research in geographic journals, the relatively few individuals who actively participate in the sub-discipline, and the lack of prestige the subject matter specialty has in geography. Despite these imperfections geographers make important contributions to the study of tourism because of their unique point-of-view. This characteristic perspective is seen in the context of a conceptual frame-of-reference which consists of a matrix based on two trichotomies. An analysis and interpretation of this framework and its application to the nine substantive articles included in the special issue constitute a majority of the article.     

The promise of creative/participatory mapping practices for sport and leisure research

This paper provides an introduction to the concept of creative participatory mapping of human–environment relations. It is identified that within human geography, artistic practice and urban design, biomapping and similar community mapping tools and methodologies are increasingly being embraced. However, within sports and leisure research the concept has yet to gain academic attention. Consequently, this paper provides a basis for thinking about how researchers and research participants in the fields of sport and leisure research might benefit if mapping human–environment relations was to be embraced and integrated into research design practices. Referencing recent turns to studying space and affect within sport and leisure studies, mapping is argued to offer innovative methodological opportunities for studying how people relate to and understand the urban environments in which they practice physical activity and leisure forms of embodiment. The paper concludes by arguing that, along with offering up new avenues for conceptual research, mapping human–environment relations, if readily embraced, can go a long way to fostering community engagement in: the identification of (un)safe urban routes for sport/leisure practice (e.g. running, cycling), the development and site identification of health/physical activity initiatives and the design of urban landscapes of sport/leisure.     

Organized Youth Sport and Parenting in Public and Private Spaces

This article examines the connection of organized youth sport to cultural beliefs, values and practices of contemporary parenting ideologies, specifically the idealization of intensive mothering and involved fathering. It explores how parenting ideologies are constructed by the discourses expressed by individuals in their everyday lives through their children's sport participation. Moreover, the analysis of the parental discourse illustrates how parenting goes beyond the home environment and becomes a public act that is observed by other parents, with these observations creating the basis of what is deemed to be a good parent. Emphasis is also placed on the gendered dimensions of meeting the expectations for being a good parent.
