Tourism: Ordering, Materiality and Multiplicity
The recent emerging of ANT in tourism studies is linked to a growing interest in understanding tourism as a relational set of practices connecting culture, nature and technology in multifarious ways. Despite the widespread application of ANT across the social sciences no book has dealt with the practical and theoretical implications of using ANT in tourism research.
ANT and Tourism, edited by René van der Duim, Carina Ren and Gunnar Þór Jóhannesson, is the first book to critically engage with the use of ANT in tourism studies. The Cultural Geography Group at Wageningen University has thus organised an international seminar in order to present the book and its main tenets to the wider public.
