Omschrijving
This volume is an essential reference for designing, analysing and reflecting on field research. It advances the literature on gender by taking a specific focus on masculinities. The accounts of gendered field experiences further the call for gender positionality in research, will aid researchers and be a useful tool for supervisors.
This book is a breath of fresh air in the field of gender and tourism – timely, brave and thought-provoking. Each chapter takes the reader on an intriguing journey that captures the nuanced meanings and intimate reflections of masculinities. Chapter by chapter, the book elegantly enhances our understanding of gendered biases in fieldwork.
This is a most welcome addition to critical tourism scholarship and masculinities studies. 15 male authors reflect personally and candidly on the challenges, privileges, awkward dynamics but also fortunate access that their masculinities afford them in fieldwork and tourism research. A must-read for anybody interested in uncovering what it means to be a man, and also the process of becoming one, through reflexive thinking and lived experiences in the tourism field.
This collection is a worthy and engaging successor to its predecessor, Femininities in the Field. The editors and contributing authors reflect deeply about an eerily silent domain within the literature – masculine positionalities in tourism fieldwork. A refreshing call to action for open-mindedness and reflection about engrained gendered-ness in tourism.
This book is fascinating reading for a broadly diversified audience from any perspective. The design of the book
makes it equally suitable for students or academics. Students and researchers in fields such as tourism, geography, leisure, sociology and cultural studies may find this book appealing.
