Performing Tourist Places

Overview

This book looks at the making and the consuming of places in the contemporary world. Illustrated through various case-studies from Denmark, it considers how places, performances and peoples intersect.

Key Themes

It examines the fascinating circumstances through which visitors to a place, in part, produce that place through their performances. Places are intertwined with people through various systems that generate and reproduce performances in and of that place.

Systems and Networks

These systems comprise networks of ’hosts, guests, buildings, objects and machines’ that contingently realize particular performances of specific places.

Emerging Paradigm

The studies featured here develop an exciting ’new mobility’ paradigm emerging within the social sciences.
