Abstract

This article explores how guides negotiate uncertainty in a risky mountain environment based on three years of participant ethnography with Norwegian ski guides. This study makes two primary contributions. First, we introduce the literature on organizational routine dynamics to adventure tourism research; this helps to explain how guides perform and adapt routines to socio-ecological uncertainty. Second, our socio-ecologically informed approach highlights how social interactions impact the ‘more-than-human’ post-materialist discourse in adventure tourism research. These two contributions, in combination, suggest that negotiating uncertainty is dependent on the evolving nature of socio-ecological entanglements.

灰色地带的谈判：指导日常动态的 Ski

本文以三年来对挪威滑雪向导的参与式人种学研究为基础，探讨了向导如何在高风险的山区环境中应对不确定性。本研究有两个主要贡献。首先，我们在探险旅游研究中引入了有关组织常规动态的文献；这有助于解释导游如何执行和调整常规以适应社会生态的不确定性。其次，我们从社会生态角度出发，强调了社会互动如何影响探险旅游研究中 "非人 "的后物质主义论述。这两项贡献结合在一起，表明不确定性的谈判取决于社会生态纠葛的演变性质。

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.
