90 reviewsTourism is a characteristically modern phenomenon, yet modern thinkers have tended to deride the tourist as a figure of homogenizing globalism. This philosophical study considers the tourist anew, as a subject position that enables us to redraw the map of globalized culture in an era increasingly in revolt against the liberal intellectual worldview and its call for the welcome of the "Other."
Why has the tourist proved so resistant to philosophical treatment, asks Hiroki Azuma. Tracing the reasons for this exclusion through the work of Rousseau & Voltaire, & subsequently in Kant, Carl Schmitt, Alexandre Kojève, Hannah Arendt, & Hardt & Negri, Azuma contends that the figure of the tourist has been rendered illegible by becoming ensnared in a series of misleading conceptual dichotomies & a linear model of world history.
In the widening gap between the infrastructure of globalization & inherited ties of local & national belonging, Azuma’s retheorization of the tourist presents an alternative to the choice between doubling down on local identity & roots, or hoping for the spontaneous uprising of a multitude from within the great networked Empire.
For the tourist is the subject capable of moving most freely between the strata of the global and the local. With explorations of the connection between tourism & fan fiction, contingency & "misdelivery," cyberspace and the uncanny, & dark tourism, Azuma’s inventive & optimistic philosophical essay sheds unexpected new light on a mode of engagement with the world that is familiar to us all.
