Document Summary
Introduction, review of discussion of tourism as embodied experience (not just visual experience) Distant space that we gaze upon (representational geography) Surrounding space in which we see, touch, smell, and interact (non- representational geography/space) Ppt: non-representational geography - the act of doing tourism is from 2 perspectives. Awareness of surrounding space (received feelings), awareness of sensation, being engulfed in space of tourist performance. Not only coming from receiving feelings but also animating those feelings themselves (below) When we enter spaces as tourists or as hosts, we interact in social relations and interacts with our bodies. We know places bodily through active inter-subjectivity. As a shared understanding that isn"t just conceptual, its corporeal (comes from animating bodily feelings) Crouch argues that shifting our focus from non-rep does not mean abandoning representational strategies. Crouch is suggesting us to shift our focus to include non-rep not to exclude rep geo. Gaze and body experience interact, understanding of one informs the understanding of other.
