Ecocultural or Biocultural? Towards Appropriate Terminologies in Biocultural Diversity

Biocultural diversity has made notable contributions that have furthered our understanding of the human culture-nature interrelationship. However, the usage of the term ‘biocultural’ is not unique to biocultural diversity. It was first used in biocultural studies within anthropology decades ahead of biocultural diversity. The existing literature on biocultural diversity does not acknowledge the prior existence of biocultural studies, or provide a clear demarcation between usages of the two terms. In this article, I discuss the varying contexts in usage of the term ‘biocultural’ between biocultural diversity and biocultural anthropology. While biocultural diversity deals with the linkages between biological, cultural, and linguistic diversity, biocultural studies in anthropology deal with the deterministic influence of physical and social environment on human biology and wellbeing. In biocultural studies, ‘biocultural’ refers to the integration of methodically collated cultural data with biological and environmental data. ‘Bio’ in biocultural anthropology therefore denotes biology, unlike biocultural diversity where it refers to biodiversity. Both biocultural studies and biocultural diversity apply ‘biocultural’ as descriptor to generate overlapping terminologies such as ‘biocultural approach’. Such a confusing scenario is not in the interest of biocultural diversity, as it would impede theoretical advancements. I propose that advocates of biocultural diversity explore its harmonies with ecoculturalism and the possibilities of suitably adapting the term ‘ecoculture’ in lieu of ‘bioculture’. Using ‘ecocultural’ instead of ‘biocultural’ as a descriptor to coin terminologies could solve confusions arising from the expanding usage of the term ‘bioculture’.

“…Achieving these ends will require concerted, collaborative action on policy and practice in tourism, as well as a paradigm shift toward a more caring, just, and ethical tourism, as we have highlighted as the principal theme of this article. Crucial agenda items include engaging diverse worldviews and biocultural ethics (98,117) and pluralistic knowledge systems including traditional and Indigenous knowledge and methodologies (116,118), with greater inclusivity and collaboration with the Global South, to address the global threats that face tourism in the Anthropocene. A key responsibility of tourism researchers thus lies in facilitating engaged learning and praxis to advance carbon-neutral goals, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health in tourism destinations, and enable just transitions, climate justice, community resilience, and sustainable futures.…”

This article undertakes a comprehensive review of tourism's impacts on social-ecological systems and the use of the local to global commons. It examines a wide range of issues from climate change and air travel to biodiversity loss, pollution, and overtourism. It reinforces that tourism in modernity has pursued a dominant growth-driven paradigm of development and market expansion that is unsustainable. The review raises critical questions about how to move forward in the Anthropocene, where climate change is an existential threat to which travel and tourism must adjust. We offer directions for knowledge creation to develop nature-positive tourism that decouples from greenhouse gas emissions and seeks the regeneration of natural capital and communal health and well-being. This direction includes rethinking the purposes and values of tourism by addressing equity and ethical issues. It also calls for inclusivity of diverse worldviews and knowledge systems, including traditional and Indigenous knowledge. Such a pluralistic paradigm replaces the unsustainable modernist tourism paradigm that has dominated its evolution. We conclude with suggestions for research to advance nature-positive tourism. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Volume 47 is October 2022.

“…Jamal and Guia (2021) eschew Climate Leviathan in favor of a more situated Deleuzian posthumanism and a non-dualist, relational approach that some might argue would be sympathetic to Climate X (Gibson, 2021). Good governance and active, democratic participation, pluralistic knowledge systems and inclusive worldviews, are integral to addressing global threats and structural injustices related to climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as historically embedded exploitation and cultural appropriation (Santafe-Troncoso and Loring, 2021). A tourist elsewhere is a resident somewhere, and the "tourist" of the future is by necessity a responsible and transformative visitoran active participant in facilitating ecological and cultural flourishing, community resilience, and the well-being of human and non-human inhabitants.…”

Purpose The aims of this Editorial are twofold: (i) synthesise emergent themes from the special issue (ii) tender four theoretical frameworks toward examination of crises in tourism. Design/methodology/approach The thematic analysis of papers highlights a diversity of COVID-19 related crises contexts and research approaches. The need for robust theoretical interventions is highlighted through the four proposed conceptual frameworks. Findings Crises provides a valuable seam from which to draw new empirical and theoretical insights. Papers in this special issue address the unfolding of crises in tourism and demonstrate how its theorization demands multi and cross-disciplinary entreaties. This special issue is an invitation to examine how global crises in tourism can be more clearly appraised and theorised. The nature of crisis, and the extent to which the global tourism community can continue to adapt remains in question, as dialogues juxtapose the contradictions between tourism growth and tourism sustainability, and between building back better and returning to normal. Originality/value The appraisal of four conceptual frameworks, little used in tourism research provides markers of the theoretical rigour and novelty so often sought. Beck’s risk society reconceptualises risk and the extent to which risk is manmade. Biopolitics refers to the power over the production and reproduction of life itself, where the political stake corresponds to power over society. The political ecology of crisis denaturalises “natural” disasters and their subsequent crises. Justice complements an ethic of care and values like conative empathy to advance social justice and well-being.
