New Geographies of Citizenship
This paper explores an emerging agenda of the geographies of citizenship. Citizenship studies has become an established multidisciplinary arena of academic study, and in part it has developed a num
Learning Geography Bilingually
A concern with the role of the ‘Other’ in geography in higher education has led to work on the incorporation of marginalized social groups into learning contexts. Recently some authors have discussed the role of language in teaching, and in particular the dominant role of the English language in marginalizing non‐Anglophonic students and subject matter. In this paper an empirical case study of the experiences of bilingual students at the Universi…

The formation of global citizenship: International non-governmental organisations in Britain
Front doors to freedom, portal to the past: History at the Ellis Island immigration museum, New York
Heritage sites and museums play a significant role in the production and legitimization of historical knowledges and social identities. The potential for these institutions to act in ways that maintain deep‐rooted inequalities in the relative power of social groups has long been noted by academic commentators. A critique of the role of museums in reproducing 'official' histories is now well established. In this paper we explore new ways of concep…
The Sensuous in the Tourist Encounter: Introduction: The Power of the Body in Tourist Studies
In this introduction to the theme issue on Sensuous Tourism, we further Tourist Studies’ understanding of the relationships between tourism, the body,subjectivity and space. The article reviews the ways in which the body in tourism hasbeen theorized, including metaphorical mobilizations of performance, the encounterand dwelling. The article then examines three main themes which further develop ourunderstandings of sensuality in tourism. Firstly w…
Localities and the reproduction of Welsh nationalism
Tourism consumption and the imagination of money
This paper supplements exisiting research on tourism consumption through a focus on money. It draws upon recent work in the geography of money and economic sociology, arguing that the understandings of money used by consumers are of importance to the social formation of tourism. Using a theoretical framework that links consumption studies and reconceptualizations of money, the paper develops a qualitative case study of British long‐haul traveller…
Bilingualism and geographical knowledge: A case study of students at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth
This paper explores the role of languages in the constitution of geographical knowledge. We argue that the fact that people speak different languages is significant to the ways in which they engage with geography as a subject. We unpack some of the processes through which languages make a difference to geography through an empirical project based on students at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, where geography is taught bilingually through We…
Geographies of languages/Languages of geography
This themed section is based on a session that took place at the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) annual conference, held in Brighton in January 2000, and draws together the work of a number of authors who explore the signiecance of languages within geography. The inversion of terms in the session title is important, in this respect, since it helps to highlight the broad range of interest of geographers in la…

State tourism institutions and neo-liberal development: A case study of Peru
In this paper recent research on changes in Peru's tourism institutions and the sector's role in the country's development strategy are presented. Peru provides a good case study of the restructuring of tourism institutions, and the realignment of the sector's strategic role in development, under an emerging neo-liberal regime. The paper looks briefly at the role of the state in Peru's tourism sector between 1945 and 1990. It then draws upon rece…
