“…Antropolojik araştırmalar (Binder, 2004;Noy, 2004), daha çok hareketlilik ve davranış temelli araştırmalar olmuştur (Hannam & Diekmann, 2010;Jayne vd., 2012). Diğer taraftan, pazarlama araştırmaları, sırtçantalı seyahatlerin yönetilmesindeki ekonomik hareketler, ürün ve hizmet süreçleri ve pazarlama faaliyetleri gibi operasyonel konuları incelemişlerdir (Wilson, Richards & MacDonnell, 2007).…”

Bu araştırma, yabancı sırtçantalı gezginlerin İstanbul’daki liminoid deneyimlerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, seyahatin deneyimsel aşaması olan liminal evreye odaklanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış ve “liminoid mekânın kavramsal modeli” temel alınmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre oyun, deneyimsel katılım ve atmosferden oluşan liminoid model, katılımcıların deneyimlerini anlamak için önemli bir araç olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Özellikle, “oyunun”, turizm araştırmalarındaki “kaçış” olgusuyla örtüştüğü gözlemlenmiştir. Seyahat sırasındaki deneyimler ise gezginlerin günlük yaşamlarına bir ara verme şeklinde gerçekleşmiştir. Bu ara verme süreci, şehrin turistik cazibeleri ve etkinlikleri ile zenginleşerek, liminoid deneyime dönüşmüştür. Bu noktada, İstanbul’un yarattığı atmosfer, deneyimsel katılımı teşvik ederek, seyahat deneyiminin bir liminoid deneyime dönüşmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Böylelikle İstanbul, sırtçantalı gezginlere geçici bir dönüşüm süreci ve toplumsal sınırları aşma deneyimi sunmuştur. Dolayısıyla, sırtçantalıların İstanbul seyahatleri sırasında yaşadığı deneyimlerin, liminoid deneyime evrilebileceği ve seyahat deneyimlerinin zenginleşebileceği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak sırtçantalıların deneyimleri, kişisel ve kültürel geçmişlerine bağlı olarak farklılaşabilir. Bu nedenle destinasyonların, turist gruplarının özelliklerine ve taleplerine yönelik bir atmosfer yaratmaları önem arz etmektedir.

“…Sydney specifically acts as drawcard by way of its “reputed and promoted beach culture and night life” (Allon, Anderson, & Bushell, 2008, p. 82) with particular beaches, such as Bondi and Coogee, acting as iconic landmarks with particularly strong imaginative power (Allon, 2004). These areas are also backpacker enclaves that create, for those within them, a suspended state of reality in which positive spatial imaginaries of host societies can be more easily upheld (Wilson et al, 2008; see also Iaquinto, 2020).…”

“…It is not only Australia's tourist bodies, media outlets, and immigration authorities who have presented the country in such favourable terms. Academic literature on British migration to Australia has also upheld these glowing spatial imaginaries by concentrating upon positive, privileged, and “as predicted” experiences (see, for example, Allon, 2004; Schech & Haggis, 2004; Wilson, Richards, & MacDonnell, 2008). Discussions of the experiences of Britons who migrate to Australia only for their privileged positions to be replaced with those of precarity are limited.…”

From paradise to prison: The disrupted spatial imaginaries of victimised female British migrants in Australia

British migration to Australia may be motivated by the paradisiacal glow in which the country is framed, but personal lives after arrival can upset these pre‐migratory spatial imaginaries, evoking feelings of darkness, doom, horror, isolation, and imprisonment. This article uses two concepts—that of spatial imaginaries and that of biographical disruptions—to unpack the stories of three British migrant women whose idealised expectations of Australia are overturned after each enters a violent marriage with an Australian man. By exploring the similarities of these women's tumultuous marital lives, I reveal how spatial imaginaries can be drastically altered by biographical disruptions that occur within intimate settings, particularly events that are violent in nature. This article highlights the unsolidified, contingent, and relational nature of migrant spatial imaginaries with an emphasis on how the startling, biographically disruptive, and emotionally unsettling nature of intimate partner violence fundamentally shapes the way spaces are viewed.

“…As backpackers often follow similar routes throughout a country, they frequently find themselves inor seek outmeeting places for Western travellers (Howard, 2007;Huxley, 2004;. Indeed, there is now a degree of institutionalisation of backpacker tourism through increased organization, similar travel paths and targeted product development (Ateljevic & Doorne, 2004;Vance, 2004) that contributes to such enclaves and thus often to fewer interactions with the host community (Bushell & Anderson, 2010;Howard, 2007;Wilson, Richards, & MacDonnell, 2008) by functioning as a barrier to authentic local culture (Huxley, 2004). The gap between original motivations and practice, the difficulty of obtaining these desired cultural experiences, is partially filled by the surrogate cultural experiences available in such enclaves through this existing subculture , thus raising the question what role social interactions play within the individual travel experience and for their underlying motivations of self-development and cultural exploration.…”

© 2016, © The Author(s) 2016. This research employs an extended social situation analysis to examine how social interactions of backpackers in New Zealand are manifested, how they can contribute to the visitor experience, to common travel motivations such as self-development and cultural exploration, and how they compare to and influence contacts with the host community. Results from 37 in-depth interviews indicate that backpacker interactions underlie strict rules and are based on a shared understanding of how they are to proceed in terms of conversation topics and personal elements. Certain settings and a positive relationship between interaction participants contribute to longer and more personal social interactions. These in turn are required for emotional well-being, which is why fellow backpackers often replace friends and family as a social support system. Due to the national diversity of backpacker travellers, these interactions also provide exposure to different cultures as well as opportunity for self-development. Contacts with the host community, however, have been reported to be more difficult to establish and were found to be less beneficial for backpackers who have to rely heavily on interaction partners who are social, desire to spend longer amounts of time and are willing to proceed to a more familiar level faster than non-travellers.
