Pilgrimages, journeys, and outings
This chapter focuses on three areas of Max Weber’s works, including his ideas on religion, bureaucratic organisations, and his methodological use of ‘ideal-type’ analysis, which has already been usefully adapted in segmenting religious travellers. It focuses on perspectives from the newer field of mobilities , first named and theorised within sociological thought in the 1990s. Belief systems are thus top-down articulations that then pass through …
The Palgrave Handbook of Dark Tourism Studies
The study of ‘dark tourism’ may be a relatively recent phenomenon, but the practice itself—including commemorative, educational or even leisure visits to places associated with death and/or suffering—is by no means a new social behaviour (Stone 2007). Scholarly examination of dark tourism has raised fundamental lines of multidisciplinary interrogation, not least issues that focus on notions of deviance and moral concerns of consuming or producing…
Crime, Punishment, and Dark Tourism: The Carnivalesque Spectacles of the English Judicial System
Trial and punishment may seem far removed from the hedonism of travel and tourism, but they have been associated throughout history. The Romans, who ruled Europe for 1000 years, crucified political prisoners, criminals, and escaping slaves along the Via Appia—the main highway that led travellers in and out of Rome. The Crucifixion of Christ was staged by the Romans in Jerusalem, as a recreational spectacle on the feast of the Passover—a Jewish pu…
Qualitative Approaches to the Phenomenology of VFR Travel: The use of Literary and Cultural Texts as Resources
A paradox about visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel is that, although a marginalized category by tourism planners and academics until recently, it has always been, as a domain of behaviour, more central to human experience than leisure tourism. Relationships between relatives and friends have, at all places and times, been forged and sustained by reciprocal visits, a reality borne out by reflection, and one that has been documented widely…
Tales from the haunted South: Dark tourism and memories of slavery from the civil war era
Tiya Miles’ book is a study of slavery heritage in the American south based on case studies of three sites: the Sorrel-Weed House in Savannah; the Madam Lalaurie House in New Orleans; and the Myrtl
Tourism and romantic myths of nature
Travel and Touring in England by Elite Quaker, Industrial Families in the Long Nineteenth Century: The Journeys of Mary-Anne Schimmelpenninck (Nee Galton) of Birmingham (1778–1856)
This article explores the place of travel and tourism in the lives of elite, Quaker families in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, reflected primarily in the memoirs of the author, Mary-Anne Schimmelpenninck, nee Mary-Anne Galton (1778–1856), whose diverse oeuvre included writings on history, religion and aesthetics. It is, however, her autobiography, left unfinished and posthumously edited for publication by her relative, Christ…
Cultivated pursuits: Cultural tourism as metempsychosis and metensomatosis
Metempsychosis and Metensomatosis were concepts introduced in two papers on tourism behaviour published a decade ago (Seaton 2001, 2002). The first paper adapted and adopted the word metempsychosis, a concept originally found in classical myth and ancient religion, to describe a form of cultural tourism in which travellers repeated itineraries made by significant historical others from within their own culture. Such repetitive journeys were taken…
Mixed metaphors: The Danse Macabre in medieval and early modern Europe
The Danse Macabre or Dance of Death was one of the great, iconographic subjects of popular culture across Christian Europe in the later Middle Ages, along with other essentialist visions of the hum
