Staging Affect
We are in jail
After the 2011 triple disaster, the Japanese government started the construction of an almost 400 km long and 15 m high seawalls and breakwaters system along the coast of Tohoku. Seawalls are seen by the Japanese government as necessary for the safety of the communities, but their construction has been met with outrage and opposition by local communities all along the coast. This article explores how discourses and protests against seawalls as in…
Spatializing poverty
This article draws together literature on the geographies of poverty and Bourdieu’s concept of symbolic power, investigating the relationship between a rhetoric on poverty portrayed by media and its spatialization within the urban fabric of the French city of the Lille metropolis, an area in which a large amount of people have – both historically and currently – experienced economic difficulties. Using qualitative methodology, we analyze articles…
What Terra are we terraforming? Lessons from the 2011 triple disaster in Japan
The process of terraforming or planetary adaptation- started in sci-fi literature but has recently become increasingly studied by hard sciences, social sciences, as well as popular culture. While terraforming refers to the core idea of making other planets fit for human life, in the times of socioecological crisis of the Anthropocene, marked by unprecedented disasters and accelerated climate change, different stakeholders in and outside of academ…
Dark tourism geographies
In this state of the art piece, we provide an overview of past debates and current trends in dark tourism geographies, and conceptually examine its theoretical intersections with critical issues, emerging ideas, paradigmatic progress and future research directions from three perspectives: ontological, epistemological, and axiological. Axiological trends and concerns in dark tourism geographies involve: the absence of cultural humility; the digita…
Dark tourism and spectral geographies
This paper explores the intersection of dark tourism and spectral geographies, offering a critical examination of how spaces of death, disaster, trauma, and painful memories are shaped by hauntings and spectral presence. Drawing on hauntology and the work of Derrida, as well as on work in spectral geographies, it proposes spectrality not as a metaphor to analyse places connected with literal ghosts and supernatural presence, but as an analytical …
Geographies of mobility justice
This article investigates instances in which mobility justice is highlighted in post-disaster tourism in eastern Tohoku, Japan, a coastal area almost completely destroyed by the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. After this unprecedented disaster, some of these towns have directed their recovery efforts toward the development of post-disaster tourism as a means to counteract outmigration and loss of jobs. By using the broader frame of mobilit…
Cross-cultural Communication Through Affect
The success of tourism encounters can be aided by devising cross-cultural strategies so that conscious feelings (emotions) and subtle impressions (affects) of locals are communicated effectively to tourists. This article investigates how postdisaster tourism narratives, practices, and landmarks can be used to "attune" the feelings of culturally different groups. After the Triple Disaster of 2011 in the Tōhoku region of Japan, the recovering commu…
Framing the sublime as affect in post-disaster tourism
Affective dark tourism encounters
This article discusses the case of Rikuzentakata, a town almost completely destroyed by the 2011 tsunami provoked by the Great East Japan Disaster. It shows how the town has directed some of its recovery efforts toward the development of a specific form of post-disaster tourism. Two main strategies implemented by the local authorities are analyzed in detail: first, the celebration of Ipponmatsu, or the Miracle Pine, a symbol of resilience in the …
Dark tourism and affect
This conceptual article brings to the attention of tourism scholars new possibilities to theorize dark tourism as an affective socio-spatial encounter. To do so, we frame dark tourism within theories of affect and, in particular, geographies of affect. We show how debates around dark tourism terminology and taxonomies, in most cases underlie considerations on felt, affective aspects of the dark tourism experience. We critically debate the concept…
