El Cronotopo del Turismo: Espacios y Ritmos

Abstract

According to the World Tourism Organisation, international tourism will reach one billion in 2012. This complex compound of practices and devices that we name ‘tourism’ is a distinctive way to use space (territory, landscape) and time (rhythm, occurrences). Tourism is an important globalising agent because it contributes to extend globalization to where new information and communication technologies have not reached yet. Bakhtin’s concept of ‘chronotope’ is valuable to characterize the way spatial and time elements are combined in tourism contexts. The data induce that Tourism is the most perfect and sophisticated elaboration of Capitalism for it consumes places and territories, shapes landscapes and perpetuates dependency relationships. Besides, it also produces sense and meanings, it mediates place through tourism space and update spaces and rhythms according to the guiding principles of Global Market. To conclude some notes on the distinctiveness of anthropological practices as carried out in tourism environments are made.

E s profesor titular de antropología social, director del departamento de ciencias sociales y humanas, e investigador principal del grupo de investigación ‘Culturdes’ (http://culturdes.umh.es) en la Universitas Miguel Hernández de Elche, que estudia las relaciones entre la cultura, el turismo y la (cooperación al) desarrollo. Sus estudios sobre las manifestaciones del poder, los procesos de significación y los procesos socio-culturales en contextos turísticos han sido traducidos a varios idiomas. Ha realizado numerosas estancias en centros de investigación europeos y americanos y, desde hace años, es profesor visitante en el departamento de etnología de la Universidad de Ljubljana (Eslovenia). Ha coordinado la edición de los volúmenes Cultura y turismo (Signatura ediciones 2003) y, de pronta aparición, el volumen Culture and society in tourism contexts en la serie Tourism Social Science dirigida por Jafar Jafari (Emerald Group Publishing Limited).
