Amid the pandemic, Ukraine-Russia tensions, social shifts, geopolitical changes, and climate concerns, the tourism industry has witnessed significant shifts in travel patterns. The sector now grapples with newfound complexities driven by emerging tourism experiences, niche markets, and technology-driven services. Interestingly, these complexities have paved the way for more sustainable consumption patterns.

Contributors in Volume II, explore sustainable development with topics such as environmental and economic sustainability, as well as governance and ethics covered. Taken together, these collections propose solutions in nine thematic areas that are relevant to the UN Sustainable Development

With a special focus on social and cultural aspects of tourism and travel, this new book brings out the latest in anthropology of tourism by laying the foundations of a new understanding of the intersection between tourism and social science. The volume offers an eclectic selection of topics on the study of tourism in our contemporary and ever-changing world.

This new volume, Anthropology of Tourism: Exploring the Social and Cultural Intersection, begins with the editors’ introduction to the nature and evolution of tourism anthropology over decades. It then goes on to offer an author’s autoethnographic account from 13 years of tourism development by taking Lisbon as a case study, looking at how tourism development affects social change. The book considers tourism’s new problems and old solutions after the new normal created by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the tourism industry. Chapters discuss the influence of sociodemographic characteristics of local community perceptions toward conservation and tourism; tourism destinations that embrace smart technology; the rights and obligations of tour guides; how human rights affect tourism choices; the impact of borders, biopolitics and, travel bans on tourism; the growth of dark and thana-tourism; and more. One chapter provides a unique exploration of the world of philatelic tourism (the study postage stamps and postal history) in different cultural backgrounds and countries.

Employing a multidisciplinary approach and offering new perspectives on tourism anthropology, this book will be of interest to tourism professors and scholars, industry professionals, as well as students and faculty intrigued by the convergence of tourism and social science.

In fact, José Ingenieros was a seminal scholar who contributed directly to the formation of sociology in Latin America. Born in Palermo, Italy, Ingenieros grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He trained in medicine, psychiatry, sociology and philosophy; he devoted much of his life to addressing societal challenges such as mass migration, imperialism, marginality, criminality and social identity. Korstanje takes in turn the key areas of Ingenieros's work and examines how his thinking can be brought to bear on the social challenges of today. In particular his works on mass migration and the "Other" have echoes in the problems facing many countries in the early twenty-first century. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students looking to better understand this key figure in Argentinian-and Latin American-sociology in the early twentieth century.

Hauppauge, Nova Science Publisher, ISBN 979-89530070-1

The terrorist attacks known as 9/11 ignited a new stage of terror that
changed geopolitical relationships as never before. Bush´s
administration, days later, declared (in a bill) the War on Terror, as a
counter-terrorist campaign oriented to eradicate terrorism in the
globe. Needless to say, this campaign not only failed but also gave
origin to new radicalized cells (like ISIS). Terrorism symbolically
operated in the reign of terror which was politically manipulated to
demonize some pressure groups or check and balance powers very
important for liberal democracy. In the name of liberty, liberal
democracy committed its suicide! The present book chapter
discusses critically how the fear-based campaign used by American
presidents is being emulated by Argentina president Javier Milei in
the present.

Today, tourism is not only a leading industry but also a consolidated commercial activity worldwide. Unfortunately, the turn of the century has accelerated a number of global risks, placing the tourism industry in jeopardy. Scholars adopted an economics-based paradigm, which has focused on the commercial nature of tourism as a benefactor of local economies, while terrorists are depicted as the enemies of democracy. This begs the question: are tourists cultural ambassadors of their respective societies?

Tourism, Terrorism and Security explores the current limitations of specialized literature to frame an all-encompassing understanding of tourism and security today. The main thesis of this book explores the idea that while tourists are workers who need to validate their political institutions through the articulation of leisure practices, terrorists are natives from the societies they hate. Terrorism has imposed a climate of mistrust, whereby tourists are targeted and killed to impose a political message.

This book explores the semantics of this message. Tourism, Terrorism and Security is a must-read for students and scholars of tourism, hospitality, security, and cultural studies.

In this book, we explore not only the ebbs and flows of migratory issues but also the lack of global jurisprudence to cope with human rights violations in the world. Although the nation-state is inclined to protect the lay citizens´ rights, under some conditions it acts as a key driver to systematic human rights violations. In our times, a moment of humanity where the “other” is considered as “undesired guests,” a hot debate on the future of human rights and the challenges faced by liberal democracies to manage the current humanitarian crisis is necessary. The selected chapters have been authored by well-versed authors who dedicated their lives to the study of this phenomenon. The book interrogates further the failure of the United Nations to give a firm legal background to be applied contextually in practical terms.

Despite its widespread influence, this critical topic remains largely unexplored in academic circles, leaving a significant knowledge gap regarding how AI reshapes human interactions, institutions, and the fabric of a digital society. AI and Emotions in Digital Society, edited by Adrian Scribano and Maximiliano E Korstanje, emerges to address this concern.

In this transformative book, readers embark on an intellectual journey exploring the intricate interplay between society, technology, and emotions. Drawing together the works of researchers in diverse disciplines and cultural backgrounds, the book fosters critical discussions that delve into the philosophical quandaries underpinning AI's influence. By adopting a balanced perspective that acknowledges both risks and opportunities, the book equips postgraduate students, professionals, policymakers, AI analysts, and social scientists with the tools to comprehend the far-reaching effects of AI on human behavior, institutions, and even democratic processes.

As readers engage with this thought-provoking content, they gain understanding of how AI impacts various sectors, including education, travel, literature, politics, and cyber-security. AI and Emotions in Digital Society serves as an indispensable resource for navigating the ongoing AI revolution, inspiring informed decision-making, and fostering critical dialogue. By empowering readers to grasp the complexities of AI's role, the book opens possibilities for a future where humanity and technology harmoniously coexist, shaping the course of our digitally interconnected society.

In New Technologies in Virtual and Hybrid Events. Kulshreshta S K & Webster C (eds). Hershey, IGI Global. ISBN 979-8369322727

The present book chapter discusses to what extent hybridized education can be potentiated in the new normal. PANCOE acts to change negative emotions into joy through gamification. Students were subject to looking at pictures containing islands, beaches, and paradisiacal landscapes. The authors denote the term imagined landscape to create a climate of well-being. The present book chapter reflected on the experience of PANCOE, an experiment conducted by the Joy Labs (University of Palermo, Argentina). The aims of this study were twofold. On one hand, it devotes efforts to introduce pleasure to reduce the current academic dropout rates. On another, it looks to standardise academic performance in low-graded or deprived students. Participants-in PANCOE-came from a neighbouring country and lived far away from their friends and families.

Kulshreshta S K & Webster C (eds). Hershey, IGI Global. ISBN 979-8369322727

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated an unparalleled crisis in the circles of tourism industries and beyond. The overcrowded cities associated with the technological revolution applied on transport has contributed directly to disseminating the virus worldwide. The tourism industry has been the main victim and spreader of COVID19. Though originally the consequences of the pandemic remain obscured or at the best uncertain no less true seems to be that scholars have devoted their attention to describing the economic effects in the tourism industry. The cOVID-19 has interrogated deeply the epistemology of tourism alluding to a world without tourists. In this vein, the present chapter discusses the question of entnography a new ethnographic method based on hybridity and hybridized methods of information gathering.

Unlike other disciplines, anthropology has evolved from ethnography and the concept of alterity as its tug of war. From its inception, anthropology has made efforts to emphasize reflexivity in describing exotic human worlds. In this context, the "Other" was primarily an object of curiosity and reflexivity, if not a mirror for the ethnographer. In line with this, tourism anthropology has focused on the relationships between hosts and guests. The turn of the century has shifted this focus while challenging the concept of alterity like never before. If the "Other" was a subject of curiosity for ethnographers, it is now seen as a potential enemy that needs to be scrutinized-if not eradicated. This essentialized "Other" raises a significant question for the future and the survival of tourism anthropology. The future of tourism anthropology relies on what it has to offer in the "new normal." Just after COVID-19, the "Other" is not only feared but also denied.

This chapter will explore the philosophical quandary of sustainable event management as a main conceptual corpus, at least in reaching a long-lasting, positive economic impact in the community. Although the literature has advanced considerably and firm steps in measuring the economic impacts of event tourism have been taken, less attention has been paid to the problems that the generation of further profits leaves. The chapter offers a model based on factors, which include supra-structure, formed by a set of legal disposition; foreign investment; infrastructure and other material assets organized for the event to take place; power relations; and permeability. These last factors, power relations and permeability, are marked by the capacity of the system to close or remain open to foreign investment with lower or higher levels of conflict.

This chapter evaluates and discusses mapping and managing stakeholder engagement within sustainable event management as one of the most challenging disciplines following COVID-19. The pandemic not only ground the industry of events and festivals into an unparalleled halt but also global trade generally. What is important, in a post-disaster context, is resilience to adapt the new destinations to the celebration of international events. Further, the complex nature of engagement is examined. The events encompass a great diversity of actors, all of them following different interests; therefore, it is very hard to give a precise description of engagement. The different levels of engagement among stakeholders in event management and festivals are examined.

This dilemma opens the doors to discuss the current crisis of identity the Western civilization is facing. The "other," above all the stranger, is seen as an undesired guest, a potential threat to the public order. In this vein, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated a stage of moral decomposition mainly marked by hostility against strangers, geopolitical tensions, as well as the crisis of the tourism industry. The present book chapter discussed part of Marc Auge and Zygmunt Bauman´s text to understand the future of tourism in a world without tourists. From different angles, both authors have shed light on the socioeconomic effects of global capitalism in daily life.

associated with the technological revolution applied to transport has contributed directly to the spreading of the virus worldwide. The tourism
industry has been the primary victim and spreader of COVID-19. Though initially, the consequences of the pandemic remain obscured or, at
best, uncertain, no less accurate seems to be that scholars have devoted their attention to describing the economic effects on the tourism industry.
For some reason, the sociological effects are unexplored in the specialized literature, which is very hard to precise here. These consequences
include geopolitical tensions, cultural hostility against strangers, or even the rise of new forms of consumption associated with virtual tourism and
IA. This paper discusses the host-guest encounters while basing conclusions on netnography. Since the sample was not statistically represented,
the obtained results cannot be extrapolated to other universes. Netnography has received some criticism in recent years, but it remains a fertile
ground for understanding certain discrimination-related issues.

COVID-19), the present book chapter has critically interrogated further on the changes
and challenges posed over mankind in what experts dubbed as the virocene. The chapter
explores the differences and commonalities between 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although extensive literature has been populated over the recent decades, little attention
has been given to the interplay between the bio-power and the disciplinary mechanism
of control exerted by states during the War on Terror and the COVID-19 pandemic.
This suggests a more than interesting question, may we imagine or plan a safer future
through the introduction of preemptive methods? It is important to discuss part of the
problems formulated by the net of experts during the War on Terror and the Pandemic

As a result of this, one might speculate that the future of industry is uncertain. This essay review explores the already existent literature in risk perception applied on tourism fields as well as introduces the theory of attachment to explain how the world is constructed.

Military powers often call those who resist invasion, 'terrorists'. Similarly, owners of capital and their functionaries typically blame workers and their unions when consumers are inconvenienced. In this regard, tourists and the tourism industry provide a fruitful heuristic. What this paper explores is more than the commonalities between terrorism and tourism, this focuses on the fact terrorist has learned its tactics from West. Worker union organization coupled to management theories provided to many terrorists, educated in the best western universities, of a modus operandis.

In this chapter, we discuss the interconnectedness between religion and terror in the context of religious tourism. We examine the nature of security that provides safety for the religious tourist without adulterating the spiritual experiences of worshippers. Religious faith is known to provide the social trust necessary for a society to function systematically, but touristification of places of worship is often the cause of distress in many communities. Historically, religions have inspired useful leadership practices, and we conclude the chapter with a discussion on crisis leadership ideas that are apt for religious tourism management.

Dark tourism not only has captivated the attention of many visitors annually, but also from Academy. Although some interesting studies have been published recently respecting this theme, little attention was given to the intersection of death with Smart Tourism. This chapter introduces the concept of Smart Tourism to promote the attractiveness of death sites, i.e. Trunyan cemetery. The discussion includes issues around Smart tourism perspectives coupled with the philosophy of slowness. Equally important, it fosters the idea of personification of space as an individual negotiation. How to apply the philosophy of Smart tourism on dark sites indicates implementation of ICT as for not only as individual information system but also expected for enrichment of value-added of place attachment which would generate the personification on the dark sites’ identity and images.

At first glance, it seems to emulate the situation during Swine flu outbreaks, radicalizing the political discourse in two directions. On one hand, China, a new emerging but undemocratic superpower, is portrayed as dangerous, disordered, and the Chinese as lazy. In the movie, the United States government intervenes to maintain the security of world health. The US intervention entails restricting the rights of democratic life such as mobility, trade, connectivity, and the distribution of food. The implication is that mobility and tourism facilitate virus outbreaks. This movie presents an ethnocentric discourse because it assumes that only mobility in the First world is safe. Global connections which enable the introduction of Third World from presumed uncivilized cultures lead to the possibility of apocalyptic pandemics.

On this, the social sciences identified an anchor in practices commonly known as reciprocity, which are based on gift exchange or giving -while -taking. As the argument goes, hospitality derives from our social propensity towards reciprocity as an exchange of intangible gifts (cultural habitus). One of the social contexts in which the theory of gift exchange can be implemented concerns the role that the visa and other migratory requirements play in the (temporary or permanent) acceptance of any human subject by a nation -state. As a disciplinary mechanism imposing control over free movement, the passport produces certain types of subjectivity at ‘borderline’ spaces such as airports. We argue that an elaboration over the role of the passport as a regulatory mechanism promotes fresh interdisciplinar...

In so doing, we pose some central questions oriented to understand the sense of new normality, where the social distancing marks human relations. We coin the term trivialisation of death to discuss the ideological dispositions revolving around the domestication of death. In parallel, a new debate around the idea of the tourist-gaze is amounted in the section to follow. In the pre-pandemic world, tourists were valorised as ambassadors of the civilised order, but now they appear to be demonised as potential carriers of a lethal decease, if not potential terrorists who lurk to attack anytime. To some extent, COVID19-far from being a foundational event-reaffirms a logic that starts with 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror.

Two of them developed a fear of travelling while one does not. Combining the attachment theory contributions with risk perception we conclude that demographic variables do not correlate with risk perception. Rather, the traumatic experiences or the lost of relatives offers a fertile ground to explain why peoples (even travel experts) keep a phobia to travels. One of the primary conclusions we found, is that profession is not a catalyst for risk. Tour operators who are familiar with the organization of travel may experience fear at the time they have to move. As the theory of attachment formulated by Bowlby put it, death or the loss of a love object as well as the way mourning is resolved, seem to show a strong correlation to risk perception.

Although pragmatism as an approach to ethics pre-dated neoliberalism, the neoliberal approach to political economy ushered in a new kind of pragmatism, owing little to Jeremy Bentham, even less to the American philosophical pragmatists Charles S. Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. Today’s pragmatism has permeated the penal systems of the central countries of the world capitalist system. A new ethics emerged, a neopragmatism. Acts came to be judged by their effects and not by the motives that led to the actions. This altered the doctrine of Abrahamic religions, and led to the disappearance of forgiveness as a moral good.

MacCannell (1976) holds that tourism serves to be the glue of society, like the Totem in the aboriginal tribal organization. In contrast to other colleagues, of the caliber of Nuñez (1963), Van den Abbeele (1980), Turner & Ash (1975), MacCannell understands tourism as a total social institution, which beyond any ideological disposition, emerges as a natural result of global capitalism expansion. In consequence, leisure practices in general but tourism in particular gravitate furtherly toward the social cohesion necessary for society to be successfully working. Tourism seems to be more complex than a mere ideological instrument. Hence, MacCannell goes beyond articulating a bridge between structuralism and phenomenology.

Needless to say, book reviews not only occupy a central position in the formation and consolidation of tourism discipline but also helps to foster newly integrated and hands-on strategies to make more sustainable (resilient) destinations. By reviewing books, scholars enter in a new world dotted with multicultural perspectives, while discussing critically materials, theories and ideas forged in other latitudes. In a nutshell, book reviews are the quintessential feature of knowledge production. Over recent years, the industry faced countless risks and challenges which spanned from over-tourism to the recent global pandemic (COVID19) without mentioning digital technologies and the rise of virtual tourism.

Description
Globally, the hospitality, travel, tourism, and services industries generate a significant percentage of revenue and represent a large portion of the business world. Even in tough economic times, these industries thrive as individuals continue to spend on leisure and recreation activities as well as services.

The Advances in Hospitality, Tourism, and the Services Industry (AHTSI) book series offers diverse publications relating to the management, promotion, and profitability of the leisure, recreation, and services industries. Highlighting current research pertaining to various topics within the realm of hospitality, travel, tourism, and services management, the titles found within the AHTSI book series are pertinent to the research and professional needs of managers, business practitioners, researchers, and upper-level students studying in the field.

Subject / Topic Description: Disaster management has become a major topic of discussion, given the increasing incidents of different kinds of disasters around the world. Greater investments are made in disaster preparedness and in disaster recovery. Best practice case studies are especially being sought out by disaster management practitioners as well as scholarly researchers. Full book description: According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, disaster refers to a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts. The scholarly community has studied disasters from various perspectives and we now have a rich knowledge field of disaster management comprised of theories, models, and frameworks. However, what is less clear is how all these apply to specific disaster contexts. In this regard, situationally bound and nuance filled case studies, particularly those conducted in the aftermath of dealing with disasters, assume importance. There is a dearth of books meeting this need for the scholarly and practitioner communities. Interdisciplinarity: Disaster management, in its theory and practice, involves theoreticians and practitioners coming from different academic streams and professional practice areas. This includes sociologists, economics, psychologists, geologists, ecologists, technocrats, and business management consultants, among others. The editors are keen to support interdisciplinary research in disaster management, where this is relevant. The proposed book is going to be significantly interdisciplinary in nature, with management studies as the interlinking element. Impact: Wherever appropriate, we are committed to helping scholars achieve real world impact with their work. Thus, case studies with immediate practical applications are particularly welcome.

In the age of globalization, terrorism and conflict have moved beyond individual high-profile targets; instead, tourists, travellers and journalists are at risk. In response to this shift, the series invites authors and scholars to contribute to the conversation surrounding tourism security and post-conflict destinations. The series features monographs and edited collections to create a critical platform which not only explores the dichotomies of tourism from the theory of mobilities, but also provides an insightful guide for policy makers, specialists and social scientists interested in the future of tourism in a society where uncertainness, anxiety and fear prevail. Tourism Security-Safety and Post Conflict Destinations will explore research approaches and perspectives from a wide range of ideological backgrounds to discuss topics such as: • Studies related to comparative cross-cultural perceptions of risk and threat • Natural and human-caused disasters • Post-disaster recovery strategies in tourism and hospitality • Terror movies and tourism • Aviation safety and security • Crime and security issues in tourism and hospitality • Political instability, terrorism and tourism • Thana-tourism • War on terror and Muslim-tourism • The effects of global warming on tourism destinations • Innovative quantitative/qualitative methods for the study of risk and security issues in tourism and hospitality • Virus outbreaks and tourism mobility

The aim of this conference is to promote constructive, critical and interdisciplinary conversations on the challenges emerging in tourism from the digital transformation of the industry by bringing together researchers, communities, industry and government stakeholders. In line with the values embedded in the UNWTO goals, the conference will address digital advances and innovation as part of the solution to the challenge of marrying continued growth with a more inclusive, sustainable and responsible tourism sector. A dedicated conference track is open to relevant final year doctoral researchers in order to share their research experience, disseminate their findings and present their contribution to theory and practice.

Sin lugar a dudas, el 11 de Septiembre y el ataque al World Trade Center marcaron el inicio de una nueva era, donde no sólo el terrorismo se adueñó de la escena política, sino que " los espacios de consumo, entretenimiento y ocio " , los cuales hasta entonces había sido uno de los grandes orgullos de Occidente se transformaba en el epicentro de una violencia sin escalas que hasta hoy día conmueve al mundo. Dentro de este contexto, muchos analistas se han interrogado sobre el futuro de la industria turística en los años por venir, a la vez que los gobiernos han reforzado sus recursos en " la lucha contra el terrorismo ". Particularmente, un cambio de paradigma demuestra que si los grupos llamados " terroristas " en décadas pasadas seleccionaban a importantes políticos, celebrities, o jefes de policía como blanco para sus ataques (ver caso IRA, ETA o JAMAS), no menos cierto es que luego del 11 de Septiembre el turismo ha ocupado ese El siguiente llamado a artículos intenta responder a una pregunta por demás interesante, ¿Por qué los grupos radicalizados asesinan turistas como forma de extorsión política? Responder esta cuestión no es una tarea sencilla, hecho por el cual diversos abordajes, teorías y concepciones académicas han hecho su aporte en los últimos años. El objetivo central de este número temático se orienta precisamente a discutir críticamente la relación existente entre el terrorismo, el turismo y la percepción de riesgo. Si bien se priorizan originales con base empírica, son bienvenidos trabajos teóricos, notas de investigación, y reseñas de literatura especializada. Los trabajos deben estar citados en normas APA, según formato de la revista, y dotados de un abstract con 5-7 palabras claves.

INVTUR 2017 aims to stimulate discussion and to introduce new approaches to explore emerging paradigms of value and knowledge co-creation in the marketplace that will lay the foundations for a new tourism ecosystem. This session addresses the conference aims by discussing the main threats to tourism in this new century, as well as focusing on ISIS and its jihad against tourism. This topic seems to be vital for well-functioning of tourism industry because Abu Bakr Al-Bagdadi recently declared the jihad against leisure-spots, or tourist destinations. This reveals not only tourism is in jeopardy but also terrorism aims to erode one of the mainstream cultural values of the western world: hospitality.

In this respect, one might speculate the tradition of a book review is far from being consolidated in tourism research. As Korstanje (2010) observes, book reviews not only provides fresh insight to other scholars of new advances in the discipline –first and foremost in case of polemic theses- but validates a second viewpoint to the involving authors. In the English speaking circles, book reviewers are well-renowned experts in the fields they are convoked (Korstanje 2010). Sometimes books
are accepted and published in consideration of the potential profits, not the content quality. Under some conditions, books are certainly published by the author´s reputation with minor remarks in the review process (Korstanje, 2010)

Amitai Touval parte de la necesidad de una mejor comprensión de la hospitalidad; en su libro recientemente publicado, [Un Estudio Antropológico de la Hospitalidad: Anfitrión y el Huésped] formado con dos capítulos, el autor nos expone con claridad su perspectiva argumental. El primer capítulo, titulado The Innkeeper, nos habla de sus experiencias en Alemania Oriental. El segundo capítulo, por el contrario, versa sobre la evolución de la hospitalidad en el mundo digital el cual se caracteriza por un gran nivel de despersonalización y alta tecnología. El capítulo se encuadra en las experiencias del autor con el sitio Airbnb. ABSTRACT In an ever-changing world which characterizes by the decline of hospitality, the anthropological insight is essentially vital to envisage the future of Western civilization. Amitai Touval adventures to reach a much deeper and better understanding of hospitality; en his recently-published book, [An anthropological study of Hospitality: the innkeeper and the guest], which is formed by two chapters, he offers a more than interesting argument. The first chapter, which entitles The Inkeeper, speaks us of his experiences in Eastern Germany. Rather, the second one goes through 1 Maximiliano E. Korstanje-Doutor Em Sociologia.

This begs the question whether do COVID19 evince really the end of mobilities as know them? In the present handbook, editors present 38 chapters authored by different well-reputed scholars who come from the four corners of Europe. The encyclopedia, which looks to build a bridge between the theory and practice in mobilities research, is organised in four sections. Part 1 (motivations) deals with the current researchers´ motivations to discuss what Sheller dubbed 'mobilities justice'. Echoing this, Mimi Sheller, in the first chapter, explores the different material and cultural asymmetries (if not inequalities as forced migration or the lack of access to consumption in some minorities) created by the globalisation. In the second chapter, M. Freudental-Pedersen eloquently reminds the importance of changing the current mainstream cultural values of capitalism, as well as conducting responsible activism, to reverse the negative effects of climate change. D. Zuev and L. Nitschke, in the third chapter, explore the philosophical dilemmas of modern capitalism to encourage a sustainable consumption for the idealised (central) core while sharing the wasting pollution to peripheral regions. As authors overtly say, the aims of achieving clean cities mean pollution should be off-shored to under-developing economies. The following fourth chapter, authored by Sven Kesselring, proffers a more efficient and sustainable model to placate the climate change based on new individual mobility, new services to be offered to an eco-friendly demand and new emerging modes of mobility-led cultures. As he points out, mobilities seem to be unstoppable in the constellations of modern capitalism. A similar point leads M. Buscher (fifth chapter) to hold that utopia plays a leading role in the creation of future mobilities which help to create a method towards alternatives cosmologies to avoid the injustices of immobility. Complementarily, part 2 (methods) synthesises the ebbs and flows of applied research to approach the current mobilities-related issues. As editors overtly acknowledge,

Korstanje University of Palermo, Argentina Bill Rowson and Conrad Lashley are two authoritative voices who do not need a further presentation in the fields of hospitality. In this occasion, they present an edited book, which entitles experiencing hospitality. This editorial project, recently released by the leading publisher Nova Science, gathers 12 chapters oriented to build a bridge between theory and practice. Of course, the term hospitality not only denotes different significations-such as the dichotomy between commercial or non-commercial typologies-but also the figure of the hotel embodies ancient anthropological rites where hospitality occupies a central position, while it represents a unit for profits (for the hotel-owner). Hence, the book is a useful toolkit for social scientists and practitioners in the hospitality industry. In the introductory chapter, precisely, Conrad Lashley interrogates furtherly on the needs of narrowing the discrepancies and differences between the hospitality management tradition and the social sciences. While the former signals to develop the infrastructure to provide commercial services, the latter refers to the study of hospitality as a social institution. Though these traditions are not mutually exclusive they share contrasting conceptions of what hospitality means. In this respect, Lashley suggests that hospitality should be approached from three perspectives: the cultural social domain, commercial-industrial domain and private-domestic domain. The convergence of the three domains results in what Lashley calls "the hospitality experience". In the cultural domain, hospitality cultivates the host-guest relations and the human reciprocity ignited by hospitableness. The domestic domain marks the access of guests as entrants to private and domestic space. As he puts it, "the tension between private and public space is at its most intense when a domestic dwelling is also a commercial space sold to strangers" (p. 7). Finally, the commercial domain is based on the provision with food, accommodation and lodge which is exchanged to a rate. Commercial hospitality is offered to those who can pay for it. These represent the services we find in hotels or restaurants. These spaces are characterized by higher levels of efficiency, calculability and control than other forms of hospitalities. Hospitality should not be limited to the rites of giving-while-receiving ethnographers have documented in a non-western culture. Commercial hospitality seems to be standardized elements of hospitableness in a capitalist society. Having said this, the tourism industry would gain much whether the anthropological theories about hospitality are incorporated. The second chapter, which is authored by Roy C. Wood, explores the dichotomies of consumption in the fields of hospitality from a Marxist viewpoint. Echoing George Ritzer's notion of McDonaldization, Wood toys with the belief that the radical hospitality which Book review

Within these realities, the islands, the paradise for many sun and beach tourists, are not on the margins of current trends in strategic planning and are redefining products under the idea of sustainability and differentiation-natural and cultural heritage-and with a high social participation in decision making and tourism governance developments that emerge from the island environment. The importance of tourism for islands should not just be seen from a macroeconomic perspective. Tourism income can support livelihoods in many island communities. It is also uniquely placed to benefit from, and provide support for, the special cultural and natural heritage assets which are a feature of so many of the world's islands. A congress on the islands brings together experts from different countries to explore the tourism in islands and opportunities to talk about changes in the face of such global problems as energy efficiency, urban planning, social and economic development, an opportunity to debate and learn about the most recent studies in this regard. This congress is an occasion for the study of their complexity, has to be multidisciplinary and 1 Universidad Europea de Canarias (Canary Islands, Spain) and Instituto Superior de Ciências Empresariais e do Turismo (Portugal).

El rol de clase se afirmar por el consumo del " sufrimiento ajeno ". En esta coyuntura, la alegoría del virus apocalíptico juega un rol importante no solo como ficción sino como respaldo científico al sistema capitalista de explotación donde " los postulados del darwinismo social " se dan por natural. En tanto discurso ficcional la idea de contagio y de virus apocalíptico juegan un rol significativo en la base cultural del capitalismo mortuorio o " Thana-Capitalism ". El virus apocalíptico no solo demuestra y confirma que los " débiles deben morir " , sino que unos pocos virtuosos son parte de un grupo de elegidos. Ser un sobreviviente habla de un nuevo super-hombre que busca en el sufrimiento de otros la razón de su existencia.
