Abstract

Considering recent calls for change towards a more liveable tourism academia, we combined critical participatory action research with duoethnography to develop The Academic Line—a humorous comic project about academic life. We used traditional theories of humour to leverage the effectiveness of comics as communicative devices and explored how and to what extent our project promoted solidarity, reflexivity, well-being, and change. This study reveals our concrete commitment to fostering change within and potentially improving academia, and to experiment with a form of communication, which is still underexplored in the scholarly sphere but fruitfully applied in other contexts to raise awareness of and prompt discussion about crucially important issues.

幽默和漫画促进学术变革和福祉

最近，人们呼吁改革，使旅游学术界更加宜居，有鉴于此，我们将批判性参与式行动研究与双人人种学相结合，开发了 "学术线"--一个关于学术生活的幽默漫画项目。我们利用传统的幽默理论来发挥漫画作为交流工具的功效，并探讨了我们的项目如何以及在多大程度上促进了团结、反思性、幸福感和变革。这项研究揭示了我们对促进学术界内部变革和潜在改进的具体承诺，以及对一种交流形式的尝试，这种形式在学术领域仍未得到充分探索，但在其他背景下却得到了富有成效的应用，以提高人们对至关重要的问题的认识并促进相关讨论。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
