Wake, You Sleepers From Your Sleep!, and: No One's Loves, No One's Wives

Responsive and responsible methodologies. Emplacing care with collaborative filmmaking
This paper is a response to the call for more caring kinds of scholarly transactions that acknowledge our interdependencies. We delve into collaborative filmmaking as a method that emplaces care in a range of different ways and that highlights researcher responsibility in the fieldwork. Recognising that discussions on care and responsibility often remain abstract, we ground our exploration in a recent collaborative filmmaking research project to …
Sex, Tourism and the Postcolonial Encounter: Landscapes of Longing in Egypt
Illustrated by revealing interviews with women and men in the tourist resorts in the Sinai, Egypt, this book is ostensibly about western women who sleep with 'native' men while on holiday. Broadening the scope of issues involved, it examines the link between these holiday romances and a much wider romanticism of place and people - of the landscapes of paradise, deserts and the lure of the Bedouin sheikh - that are used to sell these destinations.…
Visualising the visceral: Using film to research the ineffable
While cheaper technology, wider training availability and the online digital learning environment have broadened the opportunities for geographers to use film and video, it has also led to calls to improve the discipline's media literacy. This need is made even more urgent by the shift in qualitative research to practice‐based methods targeted towards how we experience our lived environment. Other shifts in empirical and conceptual focus are also…
Filmic geographies: The Rise of Digital Film as a Research Method and Output
The advent of digital has led to the proliferation of moving image data, signalling a shift not only in what we research, but in the way research is carried out and reported. The subsequent increase in interest in the use of digital film in the discipline is therefore not surprising, but critical reflections on the possibilities and limitations of the medium are lacking. In this special section of Area, I have drawn together a series of papers fr…
Listen with Your Eyes; Towards a Filmic Geography
The use of film-making as a research method and film as publication currently sits rather awkwardly in the social sciences. While some disciplines situate film (and video) production within a visual sub-discipline, this approach risks diminishing the non-visual and 'more than visual' elements of film. Filmic publication has also been hampered by the assumption that it is less theoretical than text and incompatible with the peer and editorial revi…
Re-branding the Levant: Contested heritage and colonial modernities in Amman and Damascus
Western understandings of ‘heritage’ have long-shaped efforts to promote historical conservation and forms of cultural tourism in the Middle East and North Africa. In recent years, however, new localised ‘rediscovereries’ of urban heritage and a restorative building boom have emerged across many formerly colonised regions and the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean. These efforts are now engaging with, and beginning to compete against, Western im…
Have sex will travel: Romantic ‘sex tourism’ and women negotiating modernity in the Sinai
Since the 1970s, studies on western women's ethnosexual tourist–local relationships have tended to focus on the beaches of the Caribbean and have come to one of two main conclusions – either they are no different from the overtly exploitative relationships of heterosexual male sex tourists or they are different because they involve a softer, caring element of romance. This article proposes that both positions have led to constrictive, circular re…
