Séminaire croisé ESTHUA – Axe 5 "Tourism capitalism and “epochal crisis” – is it the end of tourism as we know it ?"

L’ESTHUA Faculté de Tourisme, Culture et Hospitalité propose, avec le soutien de l'axe 5 “Tourisme, territoire, solidarités” de la Structure Fédérative de Recherche - SFR Confluences (Université d'Angers) et du GIS Études Touristiques, un cycle de séminaires de recherche en tourisme.

• La prochaine séance est intitulée :
  Tourism capitalism and “epochal crisis” – is it the end of tourism as we know it ?

Synopsis

Drawing on Nancy’s Fraser’s radical historical materialist epistemology this talk will think through the systemic dynamics of tourism capital accumulation and its entanglement within multiple, intersecting crisis or – ‘polycrisis’.  In the light of what the author considers to be a continuing vacuum within critical tourism studies, the talk argues for a rigorous political economy inspired interrogation of the structural drivers of tourism capitalism and institutional configurations of power through which the origins of the current conjuncture can be traced.
