Dwelling and tourism: embracing the non-representational in the tourist landscape

Abstract

The dwelling perspective outlines that landscapes are the product of embodied actions and practices. Landscape scholars studying tourism and tourism scholars studying landscapes have neglected to apply this perspective to local realities. Tourism most often represents an activity to integrate to the landscape, rather than a complex socio-spatial phenomenon. When embodiments are studied, it is generally to speak of the tourist experience. I propose using the dwelling perspective to infuse tourist landscapes with the non-representational ethos of materiality and embodiment. My proposition acknowledges the socio-cultural complexities that the tourist system imposes on local people, and addresses landscape as a material realm where there is constant interplay between localised practices and tourism dynamics. This perspective centres scientific conversations on the complex, yet mundane, experience of inhabiting tourist landscapes. Scholars should consider the impacts of tourism on living spaces as they contribute to the formation of language influencing planners and politicians.
