Babymoon Tourism: Co-Creating Well-Being for Traveling Mothers

“…I, the author-researcher, thus engaged in autoethnography, which enabled a deeper understanding of what it means to be on a babymoon vacation. Ethnography has been used in tourism studies (Konu 2015; Mura and Yuen 2019) to learn more about subcultures and nature consumption and has also been used in seminal studies in CCT to gain insights into specific consumer communities (Arnould and Price 1993; Holt 1995; Schouten and McAlexander 1995).

De-Westernizing Punk: Chinese Punk Lyrics and the Translocal Politics of Resistance

“…This continued interest in punk, even rebirth, is reflected in the scholarship. A recent resurgence of scholarly interest in punk includes nine monographs and edited collections (Ambrosch, 2018; Bernhard, 2019; Bestley et al, 2021; Dines et al, 2017; Dunn, 2016; Patton, 2018; Smith et al, 2017; Worley, 2017; Xiao, 2018) and a growing body of work focused on the ongoing lives of punk in places such as Portugal (Guerra, 2014, 2018; Guerra & Bennett, 2015; Guerra & Santos Silva, 2015; Santos Silva & Guerra, 2017), Brazil (Guerra & Gomes, 2017), Canada (Fauteux, 2017; O’Connor, 2002), China (Field & Groenewegen, 2008; Xiao, 2016, 2017a, 2017b, 2018; Xiao & Stanyer, 2017), Malaysia (Mura & Yuen, 2019) and Indonesia (Baulch, 2007; Donaghey, 2021; Dunn, 2016; S. Martin-Iverson, 2011, 2014, 2017; Saefullah, 2017).…”
