“…Over the years, the summer visitors were consolidated as the distinctive trait that the new productive cycle of El Puerto revolved around. With tourism, the modification of social, cultural and ecological rhythms transform towns into tourist destinations (Boissevain, 1982;Nogués-Pedregal, 2012b). The Council made this clear at the end of the nineties: At present, it is the most dynamic activity of El Puerto de Santa María.…”

“…A type of tourism management that reveals an approach to memory not as a receptacle of collective identity rooted in the past, but rather as an instrument at the service of the idea Development, its present order of “words and things” and its projection onto the future. In some recent work, we have maintained that this process produces a new chronotope that smashes the collective conscience because it fractures the expressive-symbolic continuity that links the past, present and future (Nogués-Pedregal, 2012b; Nogués-Pedregal et al , 2017). This dissolution of the expressive-symbolic dimension on instrumental rationality results in what Max Weber quite rightly called “disenchantment of the world” (Die Entzauberung der Welt ).…”

Purpose This paper aims to show that tourism is one of the most perfect creations of the capitalist mode of production insofar as not only does it consume places and territories and perpetuate dependency relations, but in the expressive dimension, it also produces feelings and meanings and generates a new relationship of the past with the present and future (chronotope). Design/methodology/approach The study was carried out using a socio-anthropological approach with participant observation over several decades. Findings The modes of time are described and how the tourism chronotope shapes the historic centre of a consolidated tourist destination. The case study, analysed with the model of the “conversion of place through the mediation of tourism space”, illustrates the prevalence of instrumental and commercial values over one’s own aesthetic-expressive values in tourism contexts. This fact encourages the emergence of local political projects and the incorporation of uniformities outside the local place. These processes end up uprooting the anchors from collective memory. The definition of territories according to visitors’ imaginaries and expectations encourages the abusive occupation of public space and the adoption of new aesthetic attributes of urban space. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen research approach and methodologies, the research results may lack generalisability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test both the model and the propositions further. Originality/value This study approaches the relationship of the idea Tourism with the idea Development based on the anchors of memory.

“…Also foreign arrivals who speak Spanish and live in areas inhabited mainly by Spanish people may not necessarily become “integrated” because they are regarded as temporary residents, “strangers”, who might leave soon (Simmel, 1908/1968). In this global set of processes, tourism appears as a force (Higgins-Desbiolles, 2006) that frames social practices within a tourism chronotope: the connectedness of temporal and spatial relationships (Nogués-Pedregal, 2012). Examples include “tourismscapes” that order people and material objects (van der Duim, 2007) or “leisurescapes” (Jansen-Verbeke et al , 2008), areas inducing spare time consumption of place by visitors with few or no relations to (earlier) local meaning structures (Cartier, 1998; Law, 2001).…”

“…The many forms of part-time and impermanent residence in Mediterranean Spain have raised questions about tourism and migration and their boundaries (Nogués-Pedregal, 2012). Researchers have thus been pursuing alternative understandings of current temporary residential forms at the national and transnational levels (Gustafson, 2001; Helset et al , 2004; Hui, 2008; O’Reilly, 2003), as internationally mobile individuals may confront a dual sense of insideness and outsideness (Relph, 1976).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline and interpret social circles and networks of long-term visitors to Costa Blanca (Spain) and to analyse how the long-termers relate to Spanish nationals and compatriots in their (temporary) residence areas. Design/methodology/approach En route airport questionnaire survey to departing passengers. Findings The study indicates a presence of translocalism among many of the polyglot long-termers not tied to their native soil and having manifold links across national borders. Most of them socialise within compatriot leisurescape settings. Language skills are determinant. Many long-termers are “dual citizens”, feeling at home both here and there. Research limitations/implications Airport surveys can reach a broad range of people but must be kept simple because of time constraints. The different labels used by researchers to describe international mobility might not be comprehensive. Practical implications The paper is of interest to local authorities, planners, property developers and tourism destination service providers. Social implications The study confirms that some persons may be physically “in” a foreign culture while socially “outside” of that culture, or in society but not of it. Originality/value The research uniquely encompasses all types of long-termers in various locations, based on an airport survey. It offers new insights into patterns of social circles and language proficiencies of diverse international long-term arrivals in Mediterranean Spain.

“…Desde la calle, desde la experiencia de los y las visitantes o residentes que acudían a diferentes actividades del evento, un todo diverso se reducía a un solo nombre, fuese el de World Pride o el de Orgullo de Madrid. El carácter holístico de la experiencia turística se condensa o muestra como un todo solo a los ojos de quienes lo consumen, alejándose o enmascarándose la diversidad inherente al complejo sistema que es el turismo (Gotham, 2005;Pike, 2008;Nogués Pedregal, 2012). Esta experiencia de la totalidad del evento, sobre todo bajo la óptica de la promoción turística, fue el objetivo de la investigación etnográfica que nutre este artículo: un proceso de investigación de cara a una tesis doctoral que llevó a quien escribe a realizar más de un año de observación participante en torno al World Pride, así como entrevistas a las personas más destacadas en la promoción y gestión del evento y del entorno activista.…”

El Orgullo LGTBI —lesbianas, gais, trans, bisexuales, intersexuales— de Madrid es uno de los mayores eventos de la ciudad, e incluye una de las manifestaciones más multitudinarias del mundo por la diversidad sexual y de género. En 2017 el evento fue aún más relevante al acoger la ciudad el World Pride 2017, un Orgullo a nivel global bajo una marca propiedad de una oenegé multinacional. AEGAL, la principal asociación empresarial LGTBI madrileña, fue la titular directa de la marca-evento, apoyándose en oenegés activistas y en administraciones públicas para organizar un Orgullo sin precedentes, que llevó a una pluralidad de agentes a relacionarse. En este artículo se presenta un análisis de dichas relaciones desde la óptica de algunos de los conceptos clave de la obra de Pierre Bourdieu, como son campo social y, sobre todo, capital. Las diferentes especies de capital en el seno del evento son analizadas para comprobar la utilidad del marco conceptual bourdiano para el estudio de eventos y, en general, de relaciones asimétricas entre agentes.
