Cultivating Catastrophe
Thinking Through Tourism
Like a fish in water
This article investigates possible pathways of habitus change by informal tourism entrepreneurs in Thailand. Bourdieu's concept of habitus is depicted as a person's understanding of the world. Do people adapt their worldview in response to only external stimuli? Through ethnographic fieldwork including participant observations and active semi-structured interviews with 53 participants, this paper identifies a classification of four modes of habit…
Landscapes of Separation
This chapter reflects on regimes of separation and movement regulation in occupied Palestine, and on the landscapes that support these regimes. It focuses upon the network of by-pass roads bisecting the West Bank, which connect up Israel with the Israeli settlements in that territory, and the prime interest is in the symbolic function of these roads. The chapter argues that they tell a particular kind of narrative about the relationship between I…
Informal tourism entrepreneurs’ capital usage and conversion
This article examines informal entrepreneurs’ capital usage and conversion in the Thai tourism sector. On the Bourdieusian assumption that people perpetually transform tangible and intangible forms of capital, this study seeks to answer how informal tourism entrepreneurs transform intangible capital into tangible capital, and vice versa, at different stages of their development process. A visual dataset of 78 filmed interviews and of 426 photogra…
Brexit, Grenfell, Windrush, and the mooring, un-mooring, and re-mooring of home
The article argues that three events presently shaping the consciousness of British people - the 2016 Brexit referendum and its continuing fallout, the fire at Grenfell Tower in June 2017, and the ‘Windrush Scandal’ of 2018 – derive from closely related sources deep in the foundations of British political culture, one (of many) source being contempt by the British ruling class for the working class and migrants (especially Muslims). The three eve…
Travelling Towards Home
As we grapple with a growing refugee crisis, a hardening of anti-immigration sentiment, and deepening communal segregation in many parts of the developed world, questions of the nature of home and homemaking are increasingly critical. This collection brings ethnographic insight into the practices of homemaking, exploring a diverse range of contexts ranging from economic migrants to new Chinese industrial cities, Jewish returnees from Israel to Uk…
Tourism, Travel, and Pilgrimage
This entry places the contemporary field of anthropology of tourism, travel, and pilgrimage (ATTP) within a tradition, established for two millennia, concerned with the relation between travel and social thought. It argues that this tradition played a substantial role in the emergence of social anthropology as a discipline and that, as a subfield of the discipline, ATTP today is making significant contributions to anthropological theory
Peter Pan in South-East Asia
This chapter presents two alternative readings of tourist brochures advertising holidays in South-East Asia. Two sets of brochures are used: the first collected in 1990 from travel agents in Camden Town, London; the second drawn from the World Travel Mart at London’s Olympia exhibition hall in 1991. The chapter focuses on the innovative work on tourist brochures by Dann. The change in emphasis from ‘structuralism’ to ‘post-structuralism’ in the a…
The Rise and Fall of Orientalism in Travel, Tourism, and Pilgrimage
Inspired by Edward Said's Orientalism , this article recollects and reflects on various aspects of both historic and contemporary Orientalist thinking in general and in the context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine in particular. Following Said himself, Derek Gregory Rana Kabbani, and others, the early parts of the article prefigure the place of travel, tourism, and pilgrimage (TTP) in both the construction of Orientalism and resistance to i…

Ghettoizing a matriarch and a city
The paper uses the case of the walling up and sequestration by the Israeli authorities of a religious site in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem commonly known as Rachel's Tomb to discuss a variety of questions that bear upon the conflicts in the region. At their broadest, the political questions raised by the fate of Rachel's Tomb today concern the nature and meanings of states, borders and borderlands, ‘security’, and some of the determining ide…

Landscapes of Liberation and Imprisonment
For several generations of lsraelis, ideas about landscape have supplied some of the most potent metaphors sustaining the will to establish and maintain the modern State of Israel. While, assuredly, these have helped to shape attitudes and policies towards the land itself, their scope has always been more extensive, and the purpose of the present chapter is to consider ideas about landscape in relation to those ideological processes associated wi…

Talking Straight
In modern Israel, the 'sabra', or native-born Israeli Jew, is held to be the mythic New Jew. A major symbolic vehicle for the affirmation of this identity is the use of 'dugri', or straight speech. Combining a sociolinguistic and a cultural-anthropological perspective, Tamar Katriel explores the 'dugri' idiom as a cultural form. She shows that while appeal to shared cultural meanings mitigates the blunt edge of 'dugri' speech for members of the c…
