Dark tourism - visitation, understanding and education (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Dark tourism is now established as a term to designate those sites and locations of genocide, holocaust, assassination, crime or incarceration that serve to attract visitors. The phenomenon exists across a range of global destinations and demonstrates commonality and differentiation across a range of societies and political regimes.This ebook opens with articles about German contexts. Colin Philpott presents the massive legacy of the Nazi regime and the debates concerning conservation whilst practitioner inputs from Hans-Christian Jasch, Alex Driscoll and Wolfgang Aschauer provides reflection on the challenging contexts of education and visitation.What is celebrated, interpreted and developed is often selective and dilemmas of commemoration of the unacceptable and acceptable are reflected in the politicisation of these sites as the Cypriot context explored by Anna Farmaki and Katerina Antoniou demonstrates. The contemporary context of our increasingly unstable world plagued by terrorist incidents and disasters suggests limitations of the phenomena (see the contribution of Hugues Seraphin) and the possibility of regeneration as explored by DeMond Miller, Christopher Gonzalez and Mark Hutter.The changing context of a digitally connected world where tourist experiences are photographed, filmed and recorded, uploaded and shared, is also explored (see J John Lennon) and finally some of the early researchers of the dark tourism examine evidence relating to progress in the field (J John Lennon, A V Seaton and A C Wight).
