Negotiating stigmatisation of deviant behaviour: an exploration of locals’ perceptions of nude tourists

Think of the children!: Relationships between nudity‐related experiences in childhood, body image, self‐esteem and adjustment

“…This research did go beyond the undergraduate student samples that are too often used in psychological research (Henrich et al, 2010; Sears, 1986), but nonetheless relied on entirely White, British samples. It is therefore not clear how well these findings generalise to different ethnicities or cultures, particularly as different cultures have strongly divergent responses to nudity (Monterrubio & Valencia, 2019; West & Geering, 2018). Future research could investigate cultural variables that might strengthen or undermine the association between nudity and positive outcomes, or even reverse the direction of that relationship.…”

“…In general, naturism combines the behaviour of being naked in the company of people other than one's intimate partner (Carr‐Gomm, 2012; Deschenes, 2016), with the assumption that the activity does not have, or at least is not limited to, sexual connotations (Smith, 2007; Smith & King, 2009; West & Geering, 2018). Beyond this, there is no single, coherent philosophy of naturism, but rather, a large variety of divergent subgroups that vary between cultures, time periods and geographic locations (Booth, 1997; Monterrubio, 2019; Monterrubio & Valencia, 2019; Smith & King, 2009; West & Geering, 2018).…”

“Gazing” and “performing”: Travel photography and online self-presentation

“…Though Goffman placed emphasis on the “largely a-mobile” and “relatively localised interactions” between individuals in the course of everyday life (specifically, in a small crofter community in the Shetland Islands), travelers are likewise engaged in impression management strategies when they “escape from the ordinary” (Larsen, 2010: 313). As recent examples of Goffman’s applicability to tourism studies, Chen (2018) describes the “frontstage” and “backstage” performances enacted within the Couchsurfing community, van Nuenen and Varis (2017) show how travel bloggers function in “teams” to affirm or discredit one another’s expertise, Noy (2017) observes roller coaster riders’ “face-work” at an amusement park, and Monterrubio and Valencia (2019) examine the “stigma” imputed to tourists who visit nude beaches. Here, Goffmanian conceptualization also “travels”—it “works differently (or is differently worked) when it is taken up in new places” (Morawski, 2014: 283).…”
