Example text
The questions we were asking, however, required a present time engagement with tourism as it happened. If, as Auge´ (1995: 18) suggests, ‘anthropological research deals in the present with the question of the other’, then it is closely allied in form, and in the premise of its object, to tourism itself Á/ which also, we argue, deals in the present with the other. Ethnography, as anthropology’s defining research method, therefore suggested itself. An unusual, though by no means unique, aspect to this research, was its joint nature.
What follows is a discussion of these questions drawing on the transcriptions of our talk. Reflexivity as Relational Form Anthropological convention suggests that the ethnographer has been the central human (research) instrument, the key ‘receptacle’ for the collection of data during the process of fieldwork. In accordance with this convention, methodology can be regarded as an ‘activity’ which is experienced, enacted and embodied in a sovereign ethnographer who is dependent upon the field, upon the ‘Other’ for the provision of research material, whilst wholly dependent upon the privileged ‘Self’ for the subsequent construction of knowledge.
Fourth, and related to this latter point, in terms of thinking about the act of tourism itself, such narratives provide a limiting cartographical view of tourist movement. This is important if, as Meethan (2001) argues, the defining feature of tourism is the commodification of space. In this regard, Lury (1997: 75) perceptively suggests that: Tourism has (. ) been considered in terms of people travelling to places, or perhaps more specifically people travelling to places as cultures in mapped space.
