Abstract
ABSTRACT As the closing article of the Special Issue of TRR, ‘Vulnerabilities and Viabilities in Tourism Studies’, the paper takes each one of the articles in the issue as reference and looks in them at concurrences and diffractions concerning claims of vulnerability and viability proposals for the field of tourism studies. The paper problematizes current practices of tourism research, and focuses on the vulnerability of tourism scholarship; postdiciplinarity in tourism studies; onto-ethico-epistemological enrichments for the field and futuring as worldmaking in the search of new viabilities. As a result, the meaning and placement of the field’s vulnerability is overturned and new viabilities for a ‘more-than-tourism’ field of tourism studies are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Tourism Recreation Research is a multidisciplinary international journal now published quarterly; it focuses on research problems in various tourism and recreational environments — ecological, economic, and socio-cultural — and attempts to seek solutions for sustainable development. Contributions are also encouraged on fundamental research concepts and theories. The journal carries regular features such as Research Note, Post-Published Reviews and Book Reviews. The ‘Research Note’ provides opportunity for scholars who have attained sufficient maturity to establish reliable findings in their field of research. The ‘Post-Published Review’ section has been introduced to capture deep insights into the papers that have already been published in Tourism Recreation Research to fill in gaps in the received information. Strong emphasis is laid on original research and readable prose.
