“…Rather than ‘Chinese backpackers’ for example (cf. Kimber et al, 2019; Zhu, 2009), they may be equally be identified as post-modern ‘post-tourists’ (Feifer, 1985; Li, 2017). That is not to say that Chinese backpackers do not exist, but if researchers apply only certain type/form backpacker characteristics, given the constraints and limitations they perceive in the discourse, they may instead be undermining the discourse rather than decentring backpacking discourse from its Western articulations, which historically formed out of the 1960s/1970s counterculture (Hellum, 2010).…”

While the label ‘backpacker’ didn’t originate in 1990 when first presented at an academic conference by the late Philip L. Pearce, its usage rose within an emerging academic discourse community that established shared interests, sources of information, terminology, and methods of communication, along with a certain level of expertise and knowledge on the subject. While the community internationalised and embraced interdisciplinary approaches, a review of the academic scholarship points to the communities increasing instability, as differential authoritative voices conflict over discursive conventions that regulate our understanding of backpacking. While once conceptual and theoretical developments in backpacker research were built through subject level consensus, distinctions within the community point to new hierarchies, with their own particular schools of thought and reinterpretations. As disparities, incongruities and deviations in backpacker research output emerge, this overview explores current research directions and identifies paradoxes, challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
