“…Not only do they tend to speak different languages, but culture has a more vested social position than tourism. The relationship between tourism and culture is therefore sown with issues of power, as Cousin (2008) indicates. The policy and linguistic gap between tourism and culture creates a space for public sector actors to fill, with a mixture of appeals to identity and market failure.…”

In the final chapter we look towards the future, sketching emerging research agendas relating to a practice approach. We also pay attention to the issue of interrupted practices: drawing on the experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, which suggests the future of cultural tourism might not be so routine as suggested by traditional practice analysis.The structure of the text is shown in Figure 1.1, with a progressive focus on different elements of the cultural tourism practice, from actors in Chapter 2, to the contexts of practices in Chapter 3. The interaction of actors and context in the practice serve to generate consequences or effects, which are analysed in Chapter 4. One of the important consequences is the development and maintenance of the practice itself, which are dealt with in the context of Collins' interaction ritual in Chapter 5.

Discursive contradictions in regional tourism marketing strategies: The case of Fryslân, The Netherlands

a b s t r a c tDiscourses in tourism destination marketing play an important role in constructing and consuming tourism destinations. However, various discursive contradictions can emerge, potentially limiting or facilitating tourism development. This paper has two objectives. First, it aims to identify discursive contradictions embedded in the positioning statements of regional tourism marketing strategy documents. Second, it intends to highlight how such contradictions simultaneously prioritize and destabilize certain destination identities. Employing the case of the Dutch province of Fryslân, discourse analysis of tourism marketing documents was conducted. Findings revealed contradictions emerging along five themes: place branding, identity claims, target groups, roles and collaboration. Regional Frisian tourism marketing appears to prioritize external orientations and homogenizing identities, with limited consideration of geographically proximate markets and a selective perception of internal stakeholders' roles in tourism. Possible implications of such destination positioning are discussed and suggestions are made to balance various positioning orientations in regional place branding.

From Middle Ground to Common Ground: Self-Management and Spaces of Encounter in Organic Farming Networks

This article deploys the anarchist notion of self-management to critically investigate the global organic farming network WorldWide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) as an initiative that offers insights into the possibilities and challenges of encounter. WWOOF facilitates the giving of food, accommodation, and hands-on learning experiences for volunteers, in exchange for their labor on organic farms. It operates as a moneyless sharing economy, designed as a site of mutual learning and cultural exchange. Literatures on encounter divide between brief tourist encounters of difference and everyday encounters in diverse, usually urban, communities. In linking these two bodies of work, I argue that the principle of self-management, as conceived by anarchist thinkers, can help develop a unified, critical framework for making sense of encounter event-spaces. This adds important nuance to theorizations of encounter by recognizing the entwinement of the intimate and the structural, while foregrounding the capacity of people to autonomously create shared spaces of interdependence. The case study indicates that structural contradictions and inequalities in voluntary relationships within statist-capitalist modes systems can seriously undermine otherwise promising interpersonal encounters. By articulating self-management as a tool for both analyzing and producing spaces of encounter, this essay offers new possibilities for a more holistic and unified analytical framework.
