Affective Tourism: Dark routes in conflict

By Dorina Buda

Book Overview

Affective Tourism explores how and in what ways affects, emotions and drives are felt and performed in tourism encounters in places of socio-political turmoil such as Jordan, Palestine/Israel and Iraq. It offers a new way of theorising tourism encounters bringing together, critically examining and expanding three areas of scholarship: affective and emotional geographies, psychoanalytic geographies and dark tourism. It provides in-depth analyses of the interconnections between tourism, danger and conflict, understandings that can lead to more socio-culturally and politically-sustainable approaches to planning, development and management of tourism.
