Worldmaking & Worldmakers: In Memory of Keith Hollinshead
Rodanthi Tzanelli & Claudia Melis
What the paper says
In this article, we provide a comprehensive genealogy of Keith Hollinshead’s thesis of “worldmaking” in tourism, as this appeared and developed in his individual and collaboratively published work (S1). We then proceed to present some research that was influenced by this thesis in critical tourism analysis and in cognate areas (S2). Our discussion in these two sections (S1 & S2) allows us to identify the presence of “worldmakers” in tourism analysis, both as “ideal types” (tourism experts working with state institutions and tourism business) but also as critical tourism scholars developing methodological, epistemological, and ethnographic/netnographic agendas in the academic field. The article concludes with an organized presentation of individual full-length article contributions to this special issue.
