Abstract

Human intentionality forms just one aspect in understanding the tourist’s engagement with food, and yet tends to dominate food tourism research; whilst food itself tends to remain somewhat ‘passive stuff’. A focus on the active presence of food we argue is rare in food tourism scholarship. This paper thus explores how tourist scholars offering insights into the practices and experiences of eating in tourism contexts have taken to spatial and relational approaches to explore what it means to eat during travel. We argue that tourist studies literature on food holds the potential to unlock the complexity of what tourists eat, and why. We do this by discussing two broad ‘spatial turns’ relating to tourism geographies of eating as relational. In doing this we attend to questions of how things become food through attunement to sociospatial-material relationships, experiences and situated practices. We show how these two relational approaches offer exciting research agendas that rethink food tourism not as a predetermined, structured human experience or touristic agenda – but as something that is ongoing, and made through individuals’ sensorial engagement with the social and material world.
偶然的和情感的中断:关于什么使事物成为食物的关系旅游地理
人的意向性只是理解游客对食物的参与的一个方面,但往往主导着食物旅游研究;而食物本身往往还是“被动的东西”。我们认为,在美食旅游学术中,关注食物的活跃存在是罕见的。因此,本文探讨了旅游学者如何深入了解旅游环境中的饮食实践和体验,并采用空间和关系方法来探索旅行中的饮食意味着什么。我们认为,关于食物的旅游研究文献有可能解开游客吃什么以及为什么吃的复杂性。我们通过讨论与旅游地理有关的两个广泛的“空间转向”来做到这一点,即饮食作为关系。在这样做的过程中,我们关注的问题是,事物如何通过适应社会空间物质关系、经验和情境实践而成为食物。我们展示了这两种关系方法是如何提供令人兴奋的研究议程的,这些议程将食物旅游重新思考为一种预先确定的、结构化的人类体验或旅游议程,而不是一种正在进行的东西,并通过个人对社会和物质世界的感官参与来实现。

期刊介绍: Tourist Studies is a multi-disciplinary journal providing a platform for the development of critical perspectives on the nature of tourism as a social phenomenon through a qualitative lens. Theoretical and multi-disciplinary. Tourist Studies provides a critical social science approach to the study of the tourist and the structures which influence tourist behaviour and the production and reproduction of tourism. The journal examines the relationship between tourism and related fields of social inquiry. Tourism and tourist styles consumption are not only emblematic of many features of contemporary social change, such as mobility, restlessness, the search for authenticity and escape, but they are increasingly central to economic restructuring, globalization, the sociology of consumption and the aestheticization of everyday life. Tourist Studies analyzes these features of tourism from a multi-disciplinary perspective and seeks to evaluate, compare and integrate approaches to tourism from sociology, socio-psychology, leisure studies, cultural studies, geography and anthropology. Global Perspective. Tourist Studies takes a global perspective of tourism, widening and challenging the established views of tourism presented in current periodical literature. Tourist Studies includes: Theoretical analysis with a firm grounding in contemporary problems and issues in tourism studies, qualitative analyses of tourism and the tourist experience, reviews linking theory and policy, interviews with scholars at the forefront of their fields, review essays on particular fields or issues in the study of tourism, review of key texts, publications and visual media relating to tourism studies, and notes on conferences and other events of topical interest to the field of tourism studies.
