Consuming dark sites via street art: Murals at Chernobyl

Power and Resistance: Digital-Free Tourism in a Connected World

“…This is one of the advantages of autoethnography, as authors can tap into their lived experiences and bodily sensations, which also aids in the development of research questions that explore the experiences of individuals within specific contexts (Chang, Ngunjiri, and Hernandez 2016). Just as it is important to do representative studies, it is also important to explore an individual’s perspective, which allows for deeper understandings of tourism phenomena (Farkić and Kennell 2021). Therefore, this study takes the perspective of learning from the individual (Smith 2004).…”

Framing the sublime as affect in post-disaster tourism

“…Nuclear sites turned tourist attractions, such as the Chernobyl exclusion zone, are first encountered as a bodily exposure from an embodiment perspective (Rush-Cooper, 2020). So far, articles that have focused on tourism to disaster sites -including those on nuclear sites such as Hiroshima and Chernobyl (see Causevic & Lynch, 2011;Farkić & Kennell, 2021;Goatcher & Brunsden, 2011;Schäfer, 2015;Yoshida et al, 2016) seldom recognise the affective capacities of such places. However, while not directly engaging with the sublime, some authors acknowledge it as a sense of unrepresentable anxiety created by a "disenfranchisement of the senses" in places such as Chernobyl (Goatcher & Brunsden, 2011), or as "eerie feeling of post-apocalyptic emptiness and meaninglessness" when describing artwork on Hiroshima (Farkić & Kennell, 2021, 7).…”

The use of digital technologies in the co-creation process of photo elicitation

“…Observing the current literature of the social sciences, we find many examples of the use of photo elicitation in anthropology (Fischer, 2016;van der Does et al, 1992), sociology (Sutherland, 2022;Valle, 2022), tourism (Chang et al, 2023;Farki c and Kennell, 2021), leisure studies (Kono et al, 2019;Kyle and Chick, 2007), environmental sciences (Sherren et al, 2011;Szaboova et al, 2020), media and communication (Cabalquinto, 2020;Kong et al, 2015), business (Marcella-Hood, 2021), design (Reddy-Best et al, 2021), geography (Edensor and Sumartojo, 2018;Melleg ard and Boonstra, 2020), psychology (Bowes-Catton, 2021;Helman et al, 2019), cultural studies (Lenette and Boddy, 2013;Tremlett, 2013), gender studies (Capous-Desyllas and Johnson-Rhodes, 2018;Trinh, 2020), education (Lamb et al, 2016;Nichols and Stahl, 2021), sex education (Allen, 2011(Allen, , 2013, health (Glaw et al, 2017;Smith, 2015) and sports (Arg€ u;elles et al, 2021;Hurly and Walker, 2019), and it is often employed in research conducted by multidisciplinary teams (Kurtz et al, 2019;Mannay et al, 2018).…”
