    Tourist practices, discourses and representations around the contemporary recreative uses of the countryside

    Les universités d’Angers (France) et de Ningbo (Chine) proposent une manifestation scientifique autour des phénomènes de tourisme et de loisirs dans les espaces ruraux, afin de saisir les rapports entre ces deux objets considérés comme sources privilégiées de réflexions et d’échanges. Le tourisme dit rural a déjà fait l’attention de nombreux chercheurs et depuis longtemps, Michel Bonneau proposant dès 1984 un « bilan de trente année de recherches géographiques » sur la question. Il n’est donc pas tant question de proposer ici un nouveau colloque sur les manifestations contemporaines de ce phénomène, que de réfléchir aux discours et représentations autour des usages recréatifs de la ruralité. Trois axes d'analyse sont privilégiés : les représentations et discours sur la campagne ; les logiques entrepreneuriales et les stratégies de mise en tourisme des espaces ruraux ; ce que le tourisme dans les espaces ruraux veut dire aujourd'hui.
