Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Multiple-use forestry has gained increasing emphasis in forestry discourse in recent years. This article examines how multiple-use forestry has been perceived among Swedish forest actors. Halsey’s interpretation on ‘modalities of nature’ is used to address the tension and relations among various actors and the unfolding processes of becoming. Drawn on semi-structured interviews, we suggest seeing multiple-use forestry as a site for ideas and ideologies to collide, confluence and collaborate. We draw attention to interview materials that address the ‘modalities of nature’ where vision, naming, speed and affect all contribute to the becoming of multiple-use forestry. We thus show how multiple-use forestry has been used as a political concept and address the potentially creative and constructive relations generated by the forest users.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies of degrowth in tourism have shed light on the phenomenon of lifestyle entrepreneurship, often highlighting these businesses as examples of alternative, non-growth oriented production. This chapter focuses on two examples of lifestyle oriented animal-based tourism in Sweden: horse-related tourism and hunting tourism. It is argued that these enterprises are engaged in decommodification practices, although the individual entrepreneurs do not necessarily identify with an ideologically or politically ‘alternative’ or non-growth position. It is argued that decommodification, or resistance to commodification, is a socially embedded practice. The analysis demonstrates how a non-growth orientation is related to the way passion and responsibility for animals, nature and professional skill is narrated and performed, and how economic valuation and exchange is socially organized and culturally understood within the enterprise and in the operators´ social network. The analysis sheds light on the role of favour exchanges in friendship networks and how gift-economic exchanges are intertwined with market relationships.

Degrowth and tourism : new perspectives on tourism entrepreneurship, destinations and policy
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The sustainability of tourism is increasingly under question given the challenges of overtourism, COVID-19 and the contribution of tourism to climate and environmental change. Degrowth and Tourism provides an original response to the central problem of growth in tourism, an imperative that has been intrinsic within tourism practice, and directs the reader to rethink the impacts of tourism and possible alternatives beyond the sustainable growth discourse.Using a multi-scaled approach to investigate degrowth's macro effects and micro indications in tourism, this book frames degrowth in tourism in terms of business, destination and policy initiatives. It uses a combination of empirical research, case studies and theory to offer new perspectives and approaches to analyse issues related to overtourism, COVID-19, small-scale tourism operations and entrepreneurship, mobility and climate change in tourism. Interdisciplinary chapters provide studies on animal-based tourism, nature-based tourism, domestic tourism, developing community-centric tourism and many other areas, within the paradigm of degrowth.This book offers significant insight on both the implications of degrowth paradigm in tourism studies and practices, as well as tourism's potential contributions to the degrowth paradigm, and will be essential reading for all those interested in sustainable tourism and transformations through tourism.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In recent years, living simply, and sustainably, has become a legitimate, or even trendy, way for individuals to contribute to a better society in the global North. Rural areas in this context are seen as a place for people who seek voluntary simplicity to resettle, for either business purposes or personal reasons. However, few research has examined the phenomenon of voluntary simplicity in quantitative manner and the mobility aspect is often missing from the general discussion of voluntary simplicity and degrowth literature. This chapter therefore looks at holistic simplifiers, as those who seek voluntary simplicity and move to smaller towns, rural areas or other less affluent or urbanized parts of the country, with the help of longitudinal register data (Statistics Sweden). The results show demographic and economic features of holistic simplifiers and some of them are unexpected, challenging some of the assumptions and definitions of voluntary simplicity. We conclude that the number of holistic simplifier is low in Sweden, and while individuals meet the overall criteria for voluntary simplicity they do not necessarily behave accordingly by cutting down on consumption and living a simpler life. Some possible reasons are discussed and questions for future studies are suggested.

Conclusions – degrowing tourism : Can tourism move beyond BAU (Brundtland-as-Usual)?

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This concluding chapter outlines some of the main contributions of the book and provide some potential directions for future research. It does this in the context of the response to COVID-19 and the history of previous challenges to growthism in tourism and broader economic thinking. The chapter highlights that the vulnerabilities, including in relation to global environmental change and global heating, are not necessarily new and that the need for degrowth type responses in various forms has been established for more than 50 years. Unfortunately, the key problem is as much one of political will and the embeddedness of narrow corporate interests in paradigmatic thinking, including tourism studies, rather than potential solutions.

Introduction : Degrowth and tourism: implications and challenges
- 2021

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter provides an overview of degrowth within tourism research and introduces the main themes of the book. It is broadly divided into three parts. The first section provides a broad overview of the degrowth literature via a scoping review of how the notion of degrowth has grown as a research subject in general and in tourism studies in particular. It is noted that the first degrowth oriented studies emerged in the late 2000s in response to both the global financial crisis and concerns over global environmental change. The second section then examines some of the main implications and challenges of employing degrowth in tourism research and the potential link to practice. A strong connection is noted between overtourism and interest in degrowth. However, substantial questions exist with respect to the scale of analysis and the extent to which proposed responses and practices fundamentally challenge the tourism industry’s focus on growth. The final section introduces the reader to the various chapters in this book and how they resonate with some of the identified implications and challenges.

Ordering the Disordered Subject : A Critique Of Chinese Outbound Tourists as New Zealand Seeks to Become China Ready
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Tourism Analysis. - 1083-5423 .- 1943-3999. ; 20:3, s. 343-353
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Currently, expanding Chinese outbound tourism attracts significant practical research effort utilizing various conceptual approaches in many countries. In this Review Article, J. Zhang and Shelton note that this form of tourism to New Zealand is notably increasing and the nature of the experience is accordingly changing from group coach travel to FIT. In their critique, J. Zhang and Shelton argue that despite the increased and careful scrutiny of both the tourism industry and the tourism studies academia on this development, most of the analytic effort (such as that on push/pull factors) is founded upon a dominant and unchallenged Western discourse around self and subject. They maintain that the term "subject position" might be a concept that is common across the broader social sciences but is uncommon in outbound tourism research itself. In this Review Article, the authors are interested in the extent to which, in a Chinese cultural setting, Western formulations of self and subjectivity are actually appropriate, and, they question whether "Chinese outbound tourism to New Zealand" indeed acts to produce the ordered subject. In this light, they critique the very demand that New Zealand becomes China Ready, and they contend that, before their arrival, the Chinese outbound tourist to New Zealand already will have been hailed by a set of subjectivities operating in China, which will act to significantly disorder their touristic performances. Thus, Zhang and Shelton suggest that New Zealand policymakers and tourism product providers must understand these multiple and discursive subjectivities, which are likely to be barriers for any prescriptive reading of the individual tourist. This review is thus intended to help both operational practitioners and field researchers realize that New Zealand-and, indeed, each and every large international destination-must produce compelling/relevant/satisfying supply-side subject positions that may profitably be mapped onto such individual tourists both before and during their visits.
