Theatre of the street : subverting otherness in photography. by Rr Apriani Kartika Dristiningsih.

“…The paradox is then clear: in placing light and bestowing visibility to these subjects through the photographic technique, the photographer is sustaining their invisibility precisely because they are stripped of their ability to assert their own identity in the face of the enigmatic lens. …”

Imagining post-fossil tourism mobilities with Norwegian tourists by Hopkins, D, Landa-Mata, I, Kr Steen Jacobsen, J, Farstad, E, Higham, J

“…Attentive to the sociomaterial nature of tourism sustainabilities and drawing from critical sustainabilities scholarship, we present three enactments of tourism mobilities: Forming sustainabilities; Fragmenting sustainabilities; Fracturing sustainabilities, and three (re)imaginings: Stripped Back; Having a Go; Stuck in the Mud. The social geographies of tourism mobilities are made visible, and these open space for an expansive reading of sustainable mobilities which may enable deeper understandings of the possibilities for alternative forms of mobility in a climate constrained world.…”
