- This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the neoliberal production of anxiety in academic faculty members in universities in Northern Europe. The paper focuses on neoliberalization as it is instantiated through audit and ranking systems designed to produce academia as a space of economic efficiency and intensifying competition. We suggest that powerful forms of competition and ranking of academic performance have been developed in Northern Europe. These systems are differentiated and differentiating, and they serve to both index and facilitate the neoliberalization of the academy. Moreover, these audit and ranking systems produce an ongoing sense of anxiety among academic workers. We argue that neoliberalism in the academy is part of a wider system of anxiety production arising as part of the so-called “soft governance” of everything, including life itself, in contemporary late liberalism.

- The Arctic is affected by global environmental change and also by diverseinterests from many economic sectors and industries. Over the last decade,various actors have attempted to explore the options for setting up integratedand comprehensive trans-boundary systems for monitoring and observing theseimpacts. These Arctic Observation Systems (AOS) contribute to the planning,implementation, monitoring and evaluation of environmental change andresponsible social and economic development in the Arctic. The aim of thisarticle is to identify the two-way relationship between AOS and tourism. On theone hand, tourism activities account for diverse changes across a broad spectrumof impact fields.Onthe other hand, due to its multiple and diverse agents and farreachingactivities, tourism is also well-positioned to collect observational dataand participate as an actor in monitoring activities. To accomplish our goals, weprovide an inventory of tourism-embedded issues and concerns of interest toAOS from a range of destinations in the circumpolar Arctic region, includingAlaska, Arctic Canada, Iceland, Svalbard, the mainland European Arctic andRussia. The article also draws comparisons with the situation in Antarctica. Onthe basis of a collective analysis provided by members of the International PolarTourism Research Network from across the polar regions, we conclude that thepotential role for tourism in the development and implementation of AOS issignificant and has been overlooked.

The Anthropocene and tourism destinations

- The concept of the Anthropocene includes the spontaneous minima moralia of the current age. It implies concern regarding the cohabitation of the citizens of the Earth in human and non-human form. It calls upon us to cooperate in the network of simple and higher-level life circles, in which the actors of today’s world generate their being in the modes of co-immunity.

Tourism and the Anthropocene

- Abstract The Anthropocene is a proposed term for a new phase in the history of both humanity and the Earth - a geological epoch in which their respective forces intertwine on a planetary scale. As a concept, the Anthropocene has recently gained momentum also in the humanities and the social sciences, but not yet in Tourism Studies. The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of the Anthropocene to Tourism Studies and to explore and outline scientific, political, and ethical challenges. In the context of the Anthropocene, tourism becomes a geophysical force censoriously interrelated with the capacity of the Earth to sustain the human species.

- Tourism is inherently an earthly business, whether it is conceptualized in terms of the spatial movement of people to and from destinations or as an all-embracing ubiquitous part of contemporary social life; tourism always takes place on Earth. As self-evident as this premise is, its implications have nevertheless so far rarely been explicitly considered. Merely to place tourism and the tourist squarely on the Earth offers nothing more than traditional tourism geography. In this chaptera tourism geography research agenda is outlined around tourism as an earthly endeavour, premised upon a recognition that humans are all co-extensive with the planet Earth in a new geological era called the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene entails the prospect of facing profound changes in the global political, economic, environmental and social order, along with a widerange of possible consequences for individuals, includingin the domain of tourism. The research agenda outlined entails a need for developing alternative ways of assembling for example Nature, Society, the tourist and tourism. Building on the on-going theorization of the Anthropocene, the agenda is to develop a science and a politics for re-assembling those collectives of humans and non-humans. This assembling is about developing responsibilities and attuning to more than human rhythms of life as afforded to those travelling. These affordances and tourism encounters inform storytelling which allows for a minimal geo-ethics for the Anthropocene. One of the absolutely most central, and difficult, of issues for that political and scientific assembling and composing of collectives is about tourism in relation to our common future on the Earth.

Tourism theory and the earth

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Given that tourism is an " earthly business" , why is it that the Earth rarely explicitly appears in tourism studies and tourism theory? In an attempt to grapple with this paradox, this paper seeks to contribute to a conceptual re-cognition of the Earth in tourism theory by probing some theoretical obstacles and possibilities. The paper demonstrates how the Earth has been conceptually erased in tourism theory by a privileging of the mapping of tourism and tourists onto the reference plane of the social. As an alternative the paper seeks to provide a geo-philosophically informed conceptualisation of the Earth as a primary plane of reference of which tourism is a particular form of de/re-territorialisation. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The socio-spatial articulations of tourism studies in nordic geography
- 2022

Ingår i: Socio-spatial theory in nordic geography. - Cham : Springer. - 9783031042331 - 9783031042362 - 9783031042348 ; , s. 169-190

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter will focus on geographical contributions to tourism studies in Nordic scholarship. The chapter provides a thematised overview of the ways in which tourism dynamics and developments have been understood and researched by Nordic geographers. The themes are drawn from a bibliometric analysis and are arranged around the key geographical concepts of place, space and time. As such the chapter is not aspiring to provide a comprehensive listing of, or detailing all Nordic geographers who have addressed issues of tourism, nor exhaustively cover all topics, but to gauge the socio-spatial articulations of tourism studies in Nordic geography. Part one will look at how places are articulated as sites of tourism experiences, social relations and tourism industry dynamics in Nordic geography. Part two will look at how spatial flows and global ideas constitutive of tourism destinations are understood. Part three will focus on how Nordic tourism geography scholarship has developed through and on what looks to be promising future oriented studies therein. As such the chapter will contribute to the theorisations of geography and the development of socio-spatial theories within Nordic geography from a tourism studies perspective.
