Concepts of ‘war of position’ and ‘passive revolution’ explain how women create space for agency without direct confrontation, reshaping visibility and legitimacy incrementally.

While scholarship has moved beyond top-down/bottom-up binaries to adopt a relational view of power as co-produced and negotiated, two limitations remain: 1) emphasis on institutional and discursive dimensions over how power materializes through spatial design, and 2) treatment of historical legacies as background rather than active forces shaping resistance. As such, this paper examines the spatially-oriented micropolitics of tourism development on Teshima, a Japanese island transformed from an industrial dumping-ground into an art destination. Drawing on multi-method fieldwork, the study identifies three micropolitics: identity politics, spatial politics, and engagement politics that structure how residents subtly resist or reconfigure the externally imposed “art island” identity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 104037"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145118224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that if the foreign tourist’s demand is highly elastic, then the tourism tax reform exacerbates labor market distortions, and hence decreases overall welfare. We also show that if the reform starts from the situation in which no tourism tax is imposed initially, then it has no harmful spillover effect on the labor market, and hence improves welfare.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104001"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144830139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
