Sensing Absence: Everyday Experiences of Ecological Love and Loss
People all over the world are increasingly confronted with ecological loss and rapidly changing landscapes caused by anthropogenic processes. In this paper, we examine how nature volunteers experience and deal with ecological loss in everyday life in the Netherlands. We do this by focusing on intimate human experiences with nature and more-than-human communities. Our ethnographic methods include sensory ethnography and photo-elicitation technique…
Revaluing Gender and Religion in the Anthropological Debate of the Anthropocene: A Critique on the Threefold Culture-Nature-Supernature Divide
This study argues that current anthropological research on human-nature relatedness lacks an explicit focus on gender and religion. It brings to the forefront that most current studies in Anthropocene anthropology that move away from anthropocentrism and towards studying more-than-human relatedness imply a disregard of gender that concerns both the 'human' and the 'non-human' in their mutual relationships. Presuming that the concept of sociality …
Tourism Imaginaries: Anthropological Approaches
It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting inn…
Intersecting journeys of past and present in the 'bush': Unsettling coevalness in the tourist space of indigenous Australia
In Australia there is a persistent stereotypical image on which many touristic cultural experiences rely that entwines Aboriginal people, as members of 'one of the oldest living cultures in the world', into a timeless, 'untouched' wild country. In this paper I discuss a recurring event drawn from my fieldwork in North Australia in which this tourism imaginary is, even if quietly, challenged. I describe the practice of one Aboriginal tour guide wh…
Fifteen minutes in limbo: On the Intricacies of Rapport in Multi-Sited Fieldwork on Tourism
In this article I discuss a revelatory moment that occurred in arguably the 15 slowest minutes of my ethnographic fieldwork on the cultural meeting between Indigenous people and tourists in Northern Australia. The challenge of doing multi-sited ethnography in tourism is to remain aware of our (tacit) inclination to privilege the subaltern perspective while establishing meaningful contacts with tourists, due to their inherently transient nature. I…
