摘要

在这篇论文中,我探讨了在萨尔瓦多和洪都拉斯招募短期医疗队参与者时的旅行想象。我特别关注旅行领导者和组织网站如何构建志愿者旅游体验,借鉴人们熟悉的、共同的对贫穷、落后的国际环境的想象,以及与白人殖民关系相呼应的相关表演干预。招聘信息几乎没有提供具体或知情的位置感,忽略了接受国的国家历史和社会经济状况。因此,萨尔瓦多和洪都拉斯的健康状况和能力最终被掩盖,取而代之的是游客的英勇表现以及外部驱动的协议和护理。一些旅赞助者和相关组织为改善向当地社区提供医疗保健的情况所作的努力,特别是旅参与者和其他捐助者的筹款,似乎将旅行与志愿服务之间的联系割裂开来。然而,它们继续强化人们对国际贫困和经济落后以及全球北方相关救援的普遍想象。对洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多经济和政治的更现实的理解仍然难以捉摸,需要重新调整自愿参与的方向。

Medical Brigades to El Salvador and Honduras: Travel imaginaries and volunteer tourist recruitment
In this paper, I explore travel imaginaries in the recruitment of participants to short-term medical brigades in El Salvador and Honduras. I look in particular at how trip leaders and organization website frame the volunteer tourist experience, drawing on familiar, shared imaginaries of poor, backward international settings, and related performative interventions that echo white colonial relationships. Recruitment messaging offers little specific or informed sense of place, ignoring the national histories and socio-economic circumstances of the receiving countries. As a consequence, the health profiles and capacities of El Salvador and Honduras are finally obscured in favor of the valorized performance of visitors and externally-driven protocols and care. The efforts of some brigade sponsors and related organizations to improve health-care delivery to local communities, in particular fundraising among brigade participants and other donors, would seem to separate the link between travel and volunteerism. They continue, however, to reinforce broadly-held imaginaries of international poverty and economic backwardness and related rescue by the Global North. A more realistic understanding of Honduran and Salvadoran economies and politics remains elusive and requires a reorientation of voluntary engagement.

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.
