The onslaught of post- and de-colonial questions in the heart of academic fields and the critical practice of these paradigms raise major epistemological, theoretical and methodological issues for the humanities and social sciences. The numerous debates around these new directions, as well as the virulent hostilitytowhich they can be subjected, notably in France, must not curb but rathershould encourage rigorous andsite-specific analyses of long-term social, economicand mentalprocesses led by colonial regimes, of which tourism is a stakeholder. Through this appeal, we encourage workwhich allows the rethinkingof touristic situations at the heart of societies historically caught inthe colonial system.Indeed, tourism, as an economy of alterity, constitutesa great laboratoryfor thinking aboutthe historical and contemporary articulations of power relations (Boukhris, Chapuis, 2016).

Tourism in Indonesia and Southern Countries

A vector of sustainable development?

The objective of the conference is to analyze the effect of tourism, questioning more specifically in this second edition its potential for becoming a vector of sustainable development, understood in its more general sense. Within this framework, we will question its economic impact, as well as its social effects, on Indonesia and Southern countries. We are interested in knowing how extra income is redistributed to the local population and whether it affects, or on the contrary, strengthens the traditional organizations of the communities, bringing new actors, investors, decision-makers in the traditional social organization.

Forever higher, forever faster, the same commitment? Climbing the Als from the 19th century to the present day

Practices, emotions and images

Le colloque invite historiens, historiens de sciences, géographes, ethnologues, sociologues (etc.) à se pencher sur l'évolution de l'alpinisme sportif – compris au sens large en incluant l'escalade et les pratiques récentes comme le ski alpinisme ou l'alpinisme de vitesse notamment – en ce concentrant sur l'espace alpin. Il s'attachera à questionner la « culture de l'alpinisme » et les profondes mutations qu'il a connues au niveau des ses pratiques et leurs finalités en privilégiant une approche transnationale et en mettant en valeur la richesse des matériaux qui servent à l'écriture de cette histoire. Le colloque se tiendra à Salvan-Les Marécottes (Suisse) les 22-24 septembre 2016.

Education and travel: awareness, learning and tourist production

Sensibilisations, apprentissages et productions touristiques

Ce colloque entend questionner de manière pluridisciplinaire les liens unissant tourisme et éducation, afin de mieux comprendre la construction et la circulation des savoirs en situation touristique. Qu’apprend-on dans le tourisme de si intéressant pour en (re)faire autant ? Se faisant, ce sont les injonctions normatives structurant la production du tourisme que nous encourageons à interroger, ce qu’elles signifient en termes de rapports de pouvoirs, d’inégalités et de dominations.

Understanding self and others: new touristic, domestic, international practices and touristic promotion of the heritage in East Africa

This symposium will gather researchers and professional actors of the tourism with different events (symposium, exposition, public conference, field day) around the theme of the new practices and forms of touristic and patrimonial promotion in East Africa. The touristic studies are fast growing in the main universities in East Africa with the emergence of new forms of tourism. Those countries are in their national construction and decentralization phase that vivify feeling of national belonging with territorial, regional or even ethnic resilience. Therefore the developing tourism of the natural and cultural heritage becomes a serious challenge for national and regional public policies.

Tourism in Indonesia

The beginning of the XXI century is characterized by the development of international tourism practices. This activity, that has deeply changed the relation to time and space in the western world since the XVIII century, is now conquering the expanding countries of Asia. This specific moment of adoption of an activity and its practices, give the opportunity to analyze the various aspects of its growth. Are we observing a phenomenon of transfers, mutations or creations? If the development of tourism inChina and India has been studied for several years, its development in Indonesia still requires an in-depth analysis. How is this new activity appropriated in the fourth most populous country in the world? What are the effects on the Indonesian society, whose distinctiveness comes from the diversity of its people, cultures, and religions, throughout its 17,000 islands, from Sumatra to Papua?

Critical tourism studies seminar

Season five: the images issue

Séminaire « Tourisme : recherches, institutions, pratiques », EHESS, Maison des sciences de l'homme de Paris, séminaire associé au IIAC, équipe LAIOS. Des cartes postales du XIXe siècle aux vidéos postées par les voyageurs sur Internet, les images sont omniprésentes dans l’histoire du tourisme, l’invention des lieux et la transformation des pratiques. Qu’elles soient fixes ou animées, produites par, pour ou sur les touristes, les sociétés d’accueil ou les intermédiaires, c’est donc la question des images qui sera au centre de la cinquième saison de notre séminaire.

Conference, symposium - Urban studies

Tourisme urbain, patrimoine et qualité urbaine en Europe

Ces journées sont organisées par la Conférence nationale permanente du tourisme urbain et l’Alliance de villes européennes de culture. Elles interviennent en partenariat avec la Communauté d’agglomération et l’Office de tourisme de Rennes métropole, avec l’appui technique de Maison de la France et ODIT France. Les Assises du tourisme urbain, mises en place par la conférence à Bourges en 2005, avaient déjà prouvé l’intérêt de cette problématique. Il paraissait opportun de prolonger cette réflexion en l’ouvrant aux expériences européennes sur le tourisme dans la ville, en matière de patrimoine et de qualité urbaine.
