Abstract

This study makes an original contribution to tourism literature by providing a new animistic conceptualisation of light events as created through conversational entanglements with non-human persons, including flora, fauna, terrain, geos and stories. In doing so, the work highlights the potential for future ecological multivocality. The methodology combines semi-structured interviews with the creators of light events with mindful writing practice journaling. The findings identify an ecosystem of seven conversational entanglements that take place between human and non-human persons, including those that are: researcher-based; about non-human persons; with light forms; with stories; with non-human persons; between non-human persons; and pre-existing. It can be concluded that new animistic exchanges may be more prevalent in the tourism industry than previously assumed.
