“…In tourism study, Martin Tranberg Jensen proposes attention given to particles, their movements and impact with a perspective he terms 'partigraphy'. This is the 'geography of particles' including their movements and engagements with various bodies (Jensen 2019). Partigraphy was discussed well before Covid-19 but the call for attention to 'small matters that move' seems even more pertinent after Covid-19.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed an unprecedented disruption. The quantitative effects on health, economy, travel, social interaction and almost any walk-of-life imaginable are massive. There is no doubt that this is a deep crisis, with profound effects. As we speak estimations and extrapolations of what this means for the future of cities and societies takes on new heights. This paper is not about these 'big effects'. Rather, it will invite a reflection upon the often taken-for-granted nature of mobilities and the contemporary city. We propose to 'think with' Covid-19 as it were in order to utilize it as a catalyst for bringing about more nuanced and deep descriptions of 'banal' everyday mobilities practices. For example, the standing in line at the bus-shed, the positioning and seating on the subway, the passing of pedestrians on the pavement, and the mobile negotiation of street spaces. The paper treat Covid-19 as a window into the 'politics of visibility'. The paper presents two key concepts as tools for enabling this reflection. One is the notion of the 'extended body' and the other the 'elastic situation'. These are exemplified in three short empirical vignettes of public space activities: queuing, running, and drive-in services.

“…To help address this issue, three theory fields are connected to construct a new trans-disciplinary and ethnographic approach to tourism studies on everyday life and particle issues: partigraphy (Jensen, 2019). In his paper, Jensen (ibid.)…”

“…This short note only promotes the promising links between atmospheric sciences and tourism research, and further research is needed to consolidate this new cross-disciplinary collaboration. Linked together, these theory fields enable both new conceptual and methodical ways of thinking about tourism and particles, and inspired by the four analytical dimensions of partigraphy (Jensen, 2019), I use the remaining paragraphs to reflect on some of the overlooked empirical domains within the current COVID-19 health crisis that could serve as starting grounds for future partigraphic studies.…”

“…Lastly, for tech-savvy scholars, partigraphy can be organized through recent technological advancements. In his research note, Jensen (2019) points to a number of new air monitoring equipment which allows users to monitor and store air quality data over extended periods of time such as AirVisual, Awair Glow, Foobot. The integration of such new mobile air quality monitors combined with the phenomenological understanding of how tourist experience air quality through every breathing of their lungs (Jensen, 2016(Jensen, , 2019, provide an innovative and holistic approach to the study of tourism experiences in light of particle pollutions.…”
