Abstract

Contrary to the common compartmentalization of popular culture and events to specialized forms of fandom-induced tourism (e.g. film-, music-, sport-tourism), event-tourism spaces may also derive from blending different genres that enable symbiotic effects, for example, between sport and art. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of how event-tourism is interwoven and merged with sporting and cinematic popular culture, thereby creating a compound milieu for sport traveling aficionados that we name an “Interscopic Fan Travelscape” (IFT). To ground our analysis, we use the example of a participatory sport event that blends organically sporting and cinematic facets of popular culture. This is a free-diving event, hosted in the Greek island of Amorgos, and commemorating the 1988 “Big Blue” film, which was primarily shot in Amorgos. Our conceptual framework provides a comprehensive understanding of composite popular culture settings and devoted fan-travel by integrating perspectives of neo-tribalism, serious leisure, fan pilgrimage and event-tourism.

Interscope fan travelscape：通过体育和艺术将旅游业融合在一起

与流行文化和活动与粉丝引发的特殊旅游形式（如电影、音乐、体育旅游）的共同划分相反，活动旅游空间也可能源于不同类型的融合，从而实现共生效应，例如体育和艺术之间的共生效应。本文对赛事旅游如何与体育和电影流行文化交织融合进行了理论分析，从而为体育旅游爱好者创造了一个复合环境，我们称之为“Interscope Fan Travelscape”（IFT）。为了支持我们的分析，我们使用了一个参与式体育赛事的例子，该赛事将流行文化的体育和电影方面有机地融合在一起。这是一项自由潜水活动，在希腊阿莫尔戈斯岛举办，纪念1988年主要在阿莫尔戈斯拍摄的《蓝色巨人》电影。我们的概念框架通过整合新部落主义、严肃休闲、粉丝朝圣和活动旅游的视角，对复合流行文化背景和忠实粉丝旅行提供了全面的理解。

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.
