Abstract

The research at hand experiments with the communication that occurs in the encounters and entanglements between human and more-than-human agencies. It builds on the emerging debates on qualitative methodologies informed by new materialism, which help us recognise how more-than-humans can communicate and participate in producing and sharing knowledge. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the approach of sensitive communication with human and more-than-human others in tourism settings. The article explores and tests sensitive reading as a way of conducting research on sensitive communication in proximate surroundings by presenting two empirical examples from Iceland and Sweden. The research is driven by curiosity about the different ways of communicating with and about mundane and ordinary places in the context of proximity tourism. The idea of proximity refers here to curious and caring relations toward our proximate surroundings, beings and thoughts. This approach to proximity tourism re-opens ideas of nearness and farness and offers an alternative approach to current quantitative macro-level discussions and inquiries of the Anthropocene.

与最亲近的人进行敏感的沟通

手头的研究实验了在人类和非人类机构之间的遭遇和纠缠中发生的交流。它建立在新唯物主义关于定性方法论的新兴辩论的基础上，这有助于我们认识到超越人类的东西是如何交流、参与生产和分享知识的。本文的主要目的是介绍在旅游环境中与人类和超越人类的人进行敏感沟通的方法。本文以冰岛和瑞典的两个实证为例，探索和检验了敏感阅读作为一种近距离环境中敏感交际研究的方式。这项研究是出于对在邻近旅游的背景下与世俗和普通地方交流的不同方式的好奇。亲近的概念在这里指的是对我们接近的环境、存在和思想的好奇和关心的关系。这种近距离旅游的方法重新打开了近和远的概念，并为当前定量宏观层面的讨论和人类世的调查提供了另一种方法。

期刊介绍： Tourism, Culture & Communication is the longest established international refereed journal that is dedicated to the cultural dimensions of tourism. The editors adopt a purposefully broad scope that welcomes readers and contributors from diverse disciplines and who are receptive in a wide variety of research methods. While potential cultural issues and identities are unlimited, there is a requirement that their consideration should relate to the tourism and hospitality domain. Tourism, Culture & Communication provides readers with multidisciplinary perspectives that consider topics and fields extending beyond national and indigenous cultures as they are traditionally understood and recognized. Coverage may extend to issues such as cultural dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender and tourism, managing tourists with disabilities, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism. Contributions that draw upon the communications literature to explain the tourism phenomenon are also particularly welcome. Beyond the focus on culture and communications, the editors recognize the important interrelationships with economies, society, politics, and the environment. The journal publishes high-quality research and applies a double-blind refereeing process. Tourism, Culture & Communication consists of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies. A reports section covers specific initiatives and projects, “hot topics,” work-in-progress, and critical reviews.
