Abstract

This paper explores quests for silence in tourism in English-language online media. We offer a reading of media forms all articulating a soundscape of silence: a preferred sonic environment for tourists’ health and well-being. A relational and reflexive approach allows us to interrogate these taken-for-granted desired silences, and to emplace ourselves in the analysis. Using critical discourse analysis, we try to listen to the sounds produced in the texts, and to write with, and about, the sounds that resonate with us, to disrupt the naturalization implicit to the silent tourism soundscapes. Such calls for silent tourism use vocabularies that reproduce a universalistic aurality and binaries of wanted/unwanted, silence/noise, nonhuman/human, good/bad that moralize and objectify. Relational ontology and feminist critiques of “soundscape” help us to rethink silent tourism as ways of knowing. Ultimately, in the media we reflect on and are not separate from sonic ways of knowing seem very much entangled with wealth, privilege, individualism, and settler positionalities.

聆听:从“无声旅游”的音景到特权的声音认知方式

本文探讨了英语网络媒体对旅游沉默的探索。我们提供媒体形式的阅读，所有这些形式都表达了一种沉默的声景：一个为游客的健康和福祉提供的首选声音环境。一种关系性和反射性的方法使我们能够审问这些理所当然的期望沉默，并将自己置于分析中。通过批判性话语分析，我们试图倾听文本中产生的声音，并与我们产生共鸣的声音一起写作，以打破无声旅游声景所隐含的自然化。这种对无声旅游的呼吁使用了再现普遍氛围的词汇，以及道德化和物化的想要/不想要、沉默/噪音、非人/人类、好/坏的二元对立。关系本体论和女权主义对“声景”的批判有助于我们重新思考无声旅游作为一种认识方式。最终，在我们反思的媒体中，我们并不脱离声音的认知方式，似乎与财富、特权、个人主义和定居者的立场纠缠在一起。

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.
