摘要

本文采用批判性这一体现了各种智力价值观的概念,来评估目前在酒店高等教育中表现出的批判性的形式和程度。作为一个学术主题,批判性与好客的学术幸福感有关。对在英国九所大学工作的55名学者进行了半结构化访谈,了解他们如何解释与教授酒店课程和进行酒店研究相关的关键性。研究表明,与好客这一学术主题相关的批判性概念在很大程度上占据了一个不具批判性的概念空间。酒店业被限制性地理解为其商业表现,即“酒店业”,而对酒店业和酒店产品的其他理解基本上缺失。教学关键性的主要目的被认为是对毕业生就业能力至关重要的基本能力。批判性研究被认为是与“酒店业”相关和适用的研究。批判性的概念化揭示了一个不受欢迎的学术界,人们对好客研究的替代方法表示轻蔑。随着新自由主义对高等教育的普遍影响,不加批判的酒店概念空间引发了人们对酒店作为高等教育学术学科未来发展的严重担忧。

Exploring critical conceptual space in hospitality higher education
This article employs criticality, a concept that embodies various intellectual values, to evaluate the forms and degree of criticality currently manifested in hospitality higher education. Criticality is discussed in relation to the academic well-being of hospitality as an academic subject. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 55 academics working in nine universities in the United Kingdom, capturing how they interpret criticality in relation to teaching hospitality courses and conducting hospitality research. The study revealed that conceptualizations of criticality in relation to the academic subject of hospitality largely occupy an uncritical conceptual space. Hospitality is restrictively understood with its commercial manifestations, namely ‘the hotel industry’, with alternative understandings of hospitality and hospitality offerings largely missing. The primary purpose of teaching criticality is perceived as an essential competency crucial for graduate employability. Critical research is perceived as studies that are relevant and applicable to ‘the hotel industry’. The conceptualizations of criticality revealed an unwelcoming academic community, whereby a dismissive attitude was expressed towards alternative approaches to the study of hospitality. With the prevalent neo-liberal influences on higher education, an uncritical conceptual space of hospitality raises serious concerns regarding the future development of hospitality as an academic subject in higher education.
