Homo Touristicus Digitalis and the Philosophical Imagination
In this Critical Review, Mekonnen Tesfahuney and Richard Ek depart from and extend their earlier work on the need to take the tourist seriously as a philosophical figure. Following Peter Sloterdijk's work, they argue that tourism studies must address the question of what it means to be a tourist in the digital age anew. There is a need for both ontological and epistemological revaluations of the tourist subject's condition of "being in the world.…
Quo Vadis Europe
The present article offers a trenchant criticism of the imaginative geographies of ‘Europe’ using a Pred inspired methodology. The essay strikes at the mythos of Europa as the vanguard of humanity, and enumerates many of the ‘dirty tricks’ that project the singular as confirmation of the universal. It aligns with the critique of the present in the manner of Allan Pred’s critical takes on Europe and deconstruction of the mythos of Europe. With Nie…
Pilgrimage mobilities
Post-secular constructions of space and re-configurations of traditional sacred places are examined inspired by de Certeau’s conceptual quadrant of space, place, strategy and tactics. De Certeau’s theorization enables us to draw out the subversive or disruptive spatial practices of post-secular pilgrimages as instances of pedestrian rhetorics, pilgrimage as a space of enunciations and as the double other of both secular and sacred terrains, as we…
Topologies of tourism enclaves
Research on tourism enclaves has relied mainly on topographical understandings of the phenomenon. The focus has been on the ontic, that which is or exists instead of the relational qualities or properties of tourism enclaves. Topographical conceptions thus tend to simplify enclavic processes and attributes that are much more complex than meets the eye. In this article, we make the case for topological understandings of tourism enclaves, based on …
What Space for Female Subjectivity in the Post-Secular
This article heeds previous calls for revitalized feminist accounts of gender and religion. Having identified post-secular female pilgrimages as practices that actuate a 'third space', we claim that it is a space that cannot be adequately theorized from within secular feminist perspectives and attendant conceptions of subjectivity, agency and autonomy. Nor do perspectives from religious studies and its conceptions of piety as expressions of subje…

Revolution and the Critique of Human Geography. Prospects for the Right to the City After 50 Years’ is the paper that Don Mitchell read for the plenary lecture at the 7th Nordic Geographic Meet, held in Stockholm in June 2017. The paper was the Geografiska Annaler B Lecture, at the invi- tation Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography and the conference organizers. Proceeding from the premise that ‘revolution is a geographical act’, Mitchel…
Geomedia Studies
This book introduces and develops the concept of geomedia studies as the name of a particular subfield of communication geography. Despite the accelerating societal relevance of 'geomedia' technolo
The post-secular tourist
The coming of post-secular society has opened up interesting transdisciplinary research and perspectives. Research and academic debates on the post-secular have yet to make inroads into the discipline of tourism studies, which is ironic since there is an intrinsic religiosity to tourism. We table that tourism lies at the core of the post-secular turn and should be studied as such. Likewise, academic debate on post-secularism has not accorded tour…

Everyday Life Mobilities of Older Persons - A Case Study of Ageing in a Suburban Landscape in Sweden
This paper describes the changing everyday life mobility of an older couple living in a suburb in Sweden. The methods used are longitudinal interviews and time-geographical diaries. The results show a pronounced dependence on car use. Representations of suburbia – as places of freedom, independence and mobility enabled by private cars – devolve into a harsh reality, i.e. disabling lock-in effects for people gradually losing locomotion, and experi…
