A sensory framework for studying tourist practices in the heat
Sport mobilities: A Framework and Agenda for the Study of Sport in Mobilities
Sport moves people physically, emotionally, socially (Eichberg and Loland 2010) and movement is central to sport. Yet, engagement with sport in mobilities studies is rare. This paper outlines an agenda for sport mobilities approaches to catalyse greater engagement in the field with the world of sport and to strengthen dialogues with, and mobilities’ position within, interdisciplinary sport studies. We first establish the promise of sport mobiliti…
Practices of urban walking: Ethnographies of Walking 'In Action
Drawing on practice theory and non-representational geography, this article advances the literature on embodied walking by analysing the often-overlooked mundane micro-actions, activities, and things that enable and make up practices and spaces of walking. This article gives a lively non-representational empirical account of how walking activities take place in specific locations, thus trying to unpack how this ‘almost instinctively performed’ pr…
Domesticating a redesigned public square: An ethnography of Enghave Plads, Copenhagen
This paper argues that it is in the intersection between design affordances and diverse domestication practices that squares come to life. Contributing to discussions about social infrastructure and the domestication of public spaces, I explore, ethnographically, the domestication of the newly redesigned Enghave Plads in Copenhagen. I also contribute to this literature with a novel, thick ethnography of how infrastructure enables social life and …
Geographies of running cultures and practices
Running is inherently geographical, with spaces, places, movement and bodies central to the practice. Running has captured the geographical imagination over the last decade and this paper reaches across such work to provide a state-of-the-art synthesis of the geographies of running. The review is structured around six key themes that characterise contemporary running geographies and demonstrate the value geography and running bring to each other:…
Urban Marathons: Rhythms, Places, Mobilities
This original social science text approaches marathon running as an everyday practice and a designed event, to draw upon and contribute to the literature on practice theory, urban events, rhythmanalysis and mobility. It bridges sport studies and discussions within sociology and geography about practice, movement and the city. Inspired by theoretical debates about embodied and multi-sensuous mobilities, social and material practices, and urban rhy…
Bubble-wrapped sightseeing mobilities: Hop on–hop off bus experiences in Copenhagen
This article explores the staging of the Hop On–Hop Off buses, bus-tour and actual embodied performances enacted by tourists on the move. We draw on a performance-inspired terminology to explore the co-production of mundane tourist experiences. Following calls for not making moral judgements or belittling sightseeing tourists and understanding the mundane dimensions of tourist practice, we conduct empathetic research with and about them. We also …
Rail tourism transitions: A sociological framework
Ordinary tourism and extraordinary everyday life
Much tourism theory used to define tourism as the antithesis to ‘everydayness’. In this chapter, I unsettle and reverse this claim by arguing that the everyday is not necessarily ordinary and tourism not necessarily extraordinary. I discuss empirical trends, concepts and theories that allow us to understand and reassess the intertwinement of tourism practices and everyday practices, and how locals and tourists live closely together, in cities. In…
Running together: The social capitals of a tourism running event
Running on sandcastles: Energising the Rhythmanalyst Through Non-Representational Ethnography of a Running Event
This article conducts an analysis that is informed by rhythmanalysis and non-representational ethnography of a five-day seasonal running event – Etape Bornholm – that takes place on the Danish holiday island of Bornholm during the summer school holiday. Firstly, I argue that rhythmanalysis in practice pays lip service to biological rhythms and is insufficiently corporeal, mobile or sensuous. In contrast, I energise the rhythmanalyst by outlining …
Rhythmanalysing marathon running: A drama of rhythms
This paper draws on Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis to investigate the multiple rhythms of the Berlin Marathon, exemplifying and expanding understandings about the rhythms of places and mobilities. First, we discuss how isorhythmic order is imposed on the city and event by race organizers. Secondly, we show that a marathon depends upon the preparatory training or 'dressage' performed by the thousands who have made themselves 'race-ready'. Thirdly, we e…
Commuting, exercise and sport: An Ethnography of Long-Distance Bike Commuting
The uniqueness of this article is that it deals with long-distance bike commuting in pro-cycling Copenhagen and its environs. Informed by practice theory and sensuous studies of urban and sport practices, I discuss the ‘things and environments’, ‘meanings’ and ‘competences and biological bodies’ that typify long-distance commuter cycling. This article develops cycling literature and the ‘mobilities paradigm’ in the following ways: by outlining a …
Performing Tourist Places
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. 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 p…
Bicycle Parking and Locking: Ethnography of Designs and Practices
Cars, trains, and bicycles are designed to be on the move. Mobilities studies have theorized and analyzed these modes of transport as powerful entities slicing through, and speeding-up, cities. Yet they also stand still, being parked and locked, immobilized and secured, until their next trip. This article contributes with new insights into parking and locking - ‘moorings’ - to cycling literature. It presents an ethnography of ‘design moorings’ an…
The making of a pro-cycling city: Social practices and bicycle mobilities
This article explores the contemporary co-production of bicycle practices in Copenhagen and the heterogeneous work involved in making a city pro-cycling. Attention is given as much to the sayings and doings of everyday commuters, as to planners, physical designs and campaigns. I ask: why, and how, are cycling practices continually (re)produced in Copenhagen and how can they attract so many practitioners? The first section discusses and employs pr…
The Unstable Lives of Bicycles: The 'Unbecoming' of Design Objects
A predictable byproduct of any 'successful' mobility system is the breakdown and destruction of once desired, fashionable, shiny, and useful objects, yet mobilities scholars have largely ignored such issues. In this paper we document and analyze ethnographically neglected and 'half-dead' bikes in Copenhagen as we encounter them in racks, on the pavement, and when the municipality attempts to clear them out or recycle them. We are theoretically in…
The tourist gaze and “Family Treasure Trails” in museums
Museums are largely neglected in the tourist research literature. This is even more striking given that they are arguably designed for gazing. There is little doubt that “graying” of the Western population adds to the number and range of museums. And yet, even in adult museums, there will be children who are “dragged along.” Museums are increasingly aware of such conflicts and dilemmas. Many museums offer printed booklets with “treasure trails.” …
Experiencing spatial design
A central feature of the experience economy is that places are designed for experience. Place is a commodity for consumption and it is designed to stimulate growth (Urry, 1995). There is an attempt to boost cities and regions in development strategies' investment in cultural events and institutions while multinational firms construct dazzling brandscapes to provide an entertaining and seductive environment for selling their products. The touristi…
(Auto)Ethnography and cycling
This article discusses the formation, salience and reformation of everyday bodily routines and resources in relation to cycling; it also examines how we can study them ethnographically in different places. I discuss forms of embodied, sensuous and mobile ethnography that can illuminate how routines, habits and affective capacities of cycling are cultivated and performed. The article argues that autoethnography is particularly apt at illuminating …
The Tourist Gaze 3.0
Preface Preface to the Second Edition Preface to 3.0 Theories Mass Tourism Economies Working under the Gaze Changing Tourist Cultures Places, Buildings and Design Vision and Photography Performances Risks and Futures
Gazing and Performing
The Tourist Gaze [Urry J, 1990 (Sage, London)] is one of the most discussed and cited tourism books (with about 4000 citations on Google scholar). Whilst wide ranging in scope, the book is known for the Foucault-inspired concept of the tourist gaze that brings out the fundamentally visual and image-saturated nature of tourism encounters. However, some recent literature has critiqued this notion of the 'tourist gaze' for reducing tourism to visual…

Tourism, Performance and the Everyday: Consuming the Orient
Tourism has become increasingly ‘exotic’, a process made possible by low-cost charter tourism and cheaper air tickets. Faraway and evermore ‘exotic’ holidays are becoming widespread and within reach as destinations make their entry into the mass tourism market. Strolls through the bazaars of Istanbul and cruises on the Nile are packaged into the sea, sand and sun culture of traditional forms of organized mass tourism. At the same time new technol…

Families Seen Sightseeing: Performativity of Tourist Photography
Ideas of embodiment and performance have been crucial in destabilizing the visual hegemony of images, cameras, and gazes in tourist studies. This article discusses how a practice-inspired performance perspective potentially allows a more satisfying account of tourist photography’s “nature” than conventional “representational” ones in which tourist photography is dismissed as “all eyes and no bodies and sometimes no brain.” The author writes a new…

Material Cultures of Tourism
Despite the fact that tourists constantly interact corporeally with things and physical places, tourist studies have failed to understand the significance of materiality and objects in modern tourism. Like much theory and research influenced by the ‘cultural turn’, tourist (and leisure) studies have melted everything solid into signs. This article is inspired by current calls for a renewed engagement with the ‘material’ in social and cultural geo…

Despite the fact that taking photographs is an emblematic tourist practiceand that tourist studies have been dominated by a visual paradigm of gazing, littlesustained research has explored the general connections between tourism andpopular photography. We have virtually no knowledge of why and how touristsproduce photographic images. This article reframes the study of visual culture bystressing the sociality, reflexivity and embodied performances…

De‐exoticizing Tourist Travel: Everyday Life and Sociality on the Move
Tourism is traditionally treated as an escape from everyday life and tourism theory is concerned with extraordinary places. Tourism and everyday life are conceptualized as belonging to different ontological worlds. The former is the world of the extraordinary while the latter is one of the ordinary. This interdisciplinary review article argues that this separation is flawed by examining research that shows how leisure travel, tourism and everyday…
Practices and Flows of Digital Photography: An Ethnographic Framework
This article develops a methodological framework for undertaking empirical studies of practices and flows, of doings and circulations, of digital tourist photography. The article outlines what might be termed a non‐representational approach to photography concerned with affordances, actor‐networks, hybridized practices and networked flows of photographs. The article falls in three parts. It begins with rethinking photography theory. Traditional d…
Geographies of Social Networks: Meetings, Travel and Communications
The past decade has seen striking increases in travel and in communications at‐a‐distance through mobile phone calls, text messaging and emailing. People in prosperous societies are both travelling and communicating more to connect with absent others. People can travel, relocate and migrate and yet still be connected with friends and family members ‘back home’. So, increasingly, people who are near emotionally may be geographically very far away;…

Tourism Mobilities and the Travel Glance: Experiences of Being on the Move
This article seeks to bring a cultural analysis of experiences of motorized - train and car - mobility into tourism studies. The tourist body senses landscapes as it is moved through them. First, it discusses how, in their early years, the train and the car were perceived as shocking speed machines that radically changed people's experiences of distance, movement, time and landscape and became discursively associated with various bodily pleasures…
