Tourists, Signs and the City - The Semiotics Of Culture In An Urban Landscape 2011.pdf

Tourists, Signs and the City
New Directions in Tourism Analysis
Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides, E-TOUR, Mid Sweden University, Sweden
Although tourism is ing increasingly popular as both a taught subject and an
area for empirical investigation, the theoretical underpinnings of many approaches
have tended to be eclectic and somewhat underdeveloped. However, recent
developments indicate that the field of tourism studies is beginning to develop in a
more theoretically informed manner, but this has not yet been matched by current
publications.
The aim of this series is to fill this gap with high quality monographs or
edited collections that seek to develop tourism analysis at both theoretical and
substantive levels using approaches which are broadly derived from allied
social science disciplines such as Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human and
Social Geography, and Cultural Studies. As tourism studies covers a wide range
of activities and sub fields, certain areas such as Hospitality Management and
Business, which are already well provided for, would be excluded. The series will
therefore fill a gap in the current overall pattern of publication.
Suggested themes to be covered by the series, either singly or bination,
include – consumption; cultural change; development; gender; globalisation;
political economy; social theory; sustainability.
