TL;DR: In this article, the value of dichotomous approaches, from either production or consumption perspectives, is addressed, and the concept of hegemony is presented as a key theoretical framework that lays a foundation for stepping beyond binary logic.
Abstract: The current blurring of the boundaries between economic and cultural geog raphies raises many issues within the geographical study of tourism. This paper addresses the crucial question of the value of dichotomous approaches, from either production or consumption perspectives. The neo-Gramscian concept of hegemony is then presented as a key theoretical framework that lays a foundation for stepping beyond binary logic. Critical theorists within cultural studies maintain that by creating a new Gramscian terrain based on negotiation between the production and consumption processes, both can be simultaneously considered, as each is interconnected through reproduction. These assertions then, lead to a framework that conceptualizes tourism as a nexus of circuits operating within production-consumption dialectics enabled by the processes of negotiated (re)production. Discussion reveals that geography lies at the heart of these processes, as tourism is inseparable from the spaces and places in which it is created,...

TL;DR: In this article, a reflexion sur les acquis de la recherche dite '' qualitative '', acquis qui ne sont pas independants du contexte general qui oriente le developpement des sciences sociales and humaines.
Abstract: Cet article amorce une reflexion sur les acquis de la recherche dite « qualitative », acquis qui ne sont pas independants du contexte general qui a oriente le developpement des sciences sociales et humaines. Plus particulierement, il vise a montrer que les approches qualitatives ont consolide leur dimension epistemologique et leur legitimite scientifique. Les choix methodologiques de saisie des donnees et des modes d’interpretation et d’analyse se sont aussi stabilises donnant a la communaute scientifique des points de reperes solides. Ce bilan, nous amene a reflechir sur ces acquis car les approches qualitatives, preoccupees de comprendre une pluralite de formes d’expression humaine (arts, danse, litterature, et autres formes esthetiques.), souffrent actuellement d’un eclatement des manieres de faire la recherche et de legitimer la connaissance produite.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined accounts of travelers in terms of Erving Goffman's front versus back distinction and found that tourists try to enter back regions of the places they visit because these regions are associated with intimacy of relations and authenticity of experiences.
Abstract: The problem of false consciousness and its relationship to the social structure of tourist establishments is analyzed. Accounts of travelers are examined in terms of Erving Goffman's front versus back distinction. It is found that tourists try to enter back regions of the places they visit because these regions are associated with intimacy of relations and authenticity of experiences. It is also found that tourist settings are arrenged to produce the impression that a back region has been entered even when this is not the case. In tourist settings, between the front and the back there is a series of special spaces designed to accommodate tourists and to support their beliefs in the authenticity of their experiences. Goffman's front-back dichotomy is shown to be ideal poles of a continuum, or a variable.

TL;DR: Casey as discussed by the authors explored the effects of contemporary practices of work on the self and found that changes currently occuring in the world of work are part of the vast social and cultural changes that are challenging the meta trends of modern industrialism.
Abstract: Despite recent interest in the effects of restructuring and redesigning the work place, the link between individual identity and structural change has usually been asserted rather than demonstrated. Through an extensive review of data from field work in a multi-national corporation Catherine Casey changes this. She knows that changes currently occuring in the world of work are part of the vast social and cultural changes that are challenging the meta trends of modern industrialism. These events affect what people do everyday, and they are altering relations among ourselves and with the physical world. This valuable book is not only a critical analysis of the transformations occurring in the world of work, but an exploration of the effects of contemporary practices of work on the self.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors interpret critical urban theory with reference to four mutually interconnected elements: its theoretical character; its reflexivity; its critique of instrumental reason; and its emphasis on the disjuncture between the actual and the possible.
Abstract: What is critical urban theory? While this phrase is often used in a descriptive sense, to characterize the tradition of post‐1968 leftist or radical urban studies, I argue that it also has determinate social–theoretical content. To this end, building on the work of several Frankfurt School social philosophers, this paper interprets critical theory with reference to four, mutually interconnected elements—its theoretical character; its reflexivity; its critique of instrumental reason; and its emphasis on the disjuncture between the actual and the possible. On this basis, a brief concluding section considers the status of urban questions within critical social theory. In the early 21st century, I argue, each of the four key elements within critical social theory requires sustained engagement with contemporary patterns of capitalist urbanization. Under conditions of increasingly generalized, worldwide urbanization, the project of critical social theory and that of critical urban theory have been intertwined a...

TL;DR: The authors provide an overview of the key images of identity in organizations found in the research literature, including self-doubters, strugglers, surfers, storytellers, strategists, stencils and soldiers.
Abstract: This article provides an overview of the key images of identity in organizations found in the research literature. Image refers to the overall idea or conceptualization, capturing how researchers relate to — and shape — a phenomenon. Seven images are suggested: self-doubters, strugglers, surfers, storytellers, strategists, stencils and soldiers. These refer to how the individual is metaphorically understood in terms of identity, that is, how the researcher (research text) captures the individual producing a sense of self. The article aims to facilitate orientation — or encourage productive confusion — within the field, encourage reflexivity and sharpen analytic choices through awareness of options for how to conceptualize self-identity constructions.
