Major Conference
Emotion in Motion: The Passions of Tourism, Travel and Movement
5th - 6th July 2009
This conference will address what we broadly identify as the passions and emotions induced by, or associated with, tourism, travel and movement.
Motion and the passions through which it is cultivated involves important psychological, economic, ethical and political issues. In many ways, motion creates its own frameworks of order and meaning. How does movement set emotions in motion? How do emotions work in travel and other movement based practices? How can different understandings of the concept of passion help to better understand such practices? What are the social consequences?
