“…In the first part, 'It's all political', I present a brief historical overview of tourism in Palestine (Bar & Cohen-Hattab, 2003;Cohen-Hattab 2004aCohen-Hattab & Katz, 2001). I maintain that tourists often perceive life in Palestine as 'life in prison' for the locals (Bornstein, 2008;Bowman, 2007a). Further, I maintain that there are more than just two sides, Palestinian and Israeli, to the story of tourism in this politically contested place.…”

This book brings together, explores and expands socio-spatial affect, emotion and psychoanalytic drives in tourism for the first time. Affect is to be found in visceral intensities and resonances that circulate around and shape encounters between and amongst tourists, local tourism representatives and places. When affect manifests, it can shape-shift into emotions such as fun, joy, fear, anger and the like. When it remains a visceral force of latent bodily responses, affect overlaps with drives, as expounded in psychoanalysis. The aim of the title, therefore, is to explore how and in what ways affects, emotions and drives are felt, sensed and performed in tourism encounters in places of socio-political turmoil such as Jordan and Palestine/ Israel, with a detour to Iraq.Affective Tourism is highly innovative as it offers a new way of theorising tourism encounters, bringing together, critically examining and expanding three areas of scholarship: affective and emotional geographies, psychoanalytic geographies and dark tourism. It has relevance for tourism industries in places in the proximity of ongoing conflicts as it provides in-depth analyses of the interconnections between tourism, danger and conflict. Such understandings can lead to more socio-culturally and politically sustainable approaches to planning, development and management of tourism.This groundbreaking book will be valuable reading for students and researchers from a number of fields such as tourism studies, geography, anthropology, sociology and Middle Eastern studies.The aim of this series is to explore and communicate the intersections and relationships between leisure, tourism and human mobility within the social sciences.It will incorporate both traditional and new perspectives on leisure and tourism from contemporary geography, e.g., notions of identity, representation and culture, while also providing for perspectives from cognate areas such as anthropology, cultural studies, gastronomy and food studies, marketing, policy studies and political economy, regional and urban planning, and sociology, within the development of an integrated field of leisure and tourism studies.Also, increasingly, tourism and leisure are regarded as steps in a continuum of human mobility. Inclusion of mobility in the series offers the prospect to examine the relationship between tourism and migration, the sojourner, educational travel, and second home and retirement travel phenomena.The series comprises two strands:
