Within anthropology the body is studied from a variety of perspectives. For example, the body as culture and as text reveals a range of other bodies such as the gendered body, the medical body, the social and the performed body. However, the tourist body remains a neglected area of anthropology generally and particularly so in terms of embodiment, a way of understanding culture and the self in relation to practices of movement, thinking and sensing.
Within the anthropology of tourism questions relating to the body and embodiment have moved increasingly centre stage since Veijola and Jokinen's seminal article (1994) highlighting the absence of the body in tourism. Studies have concentrated on the senses (Merchant 2011, Waitt and Duffy 2010) or adopted a specific focus, for example by interrogating the relationship between tourism, gender and embodiment (Pritchard et al 2007) and also that between the body and the nation (Andrews 2005, Palmer 1998).
As insightful as these studies are there is as yet no sustained, rigorous, examination of the concept of embodiment in relation to tourism. This is surprising as the body of the tourist is a social body, it engages with other bodies, things, and activities, with other places and ways of living. The body is also affected by the experience of and engagement with nature and the natural world. It shapes and is shaped by technology and may be subject to out of body experiences. In addition, there is not one tourist body but a range of bodies, male, female, transgender and transsexual. Given the complexities inherent in the body-tourism relationship this edited collection seeks to go beyond a singular sense based approach by bringing together scholars contributing to theory in the area of Tourism and Embodiment.
Contributions are welcomed that address but are not limited to the following broad areas:
· * Embodiment in relation to specific activities / attractions
· * Food and drink
· * Memory
· * Imagination
· * Materiality
· * Emotion
· * Nature, animals
· * Technology – including the idea of post human
