文摘

In this paper we examine chronopolitics—the politics of time—as a means of understanding the politicized ways in which multiple, diverse temporalities mediate tourism practice, discourse and imagination. By linking heterotemporalities with geopolitical discourses, we illustrate how temporality is geopolitically graphed—that is to say, the ways in which time becomes politicized through and in spaces. We do this by elucidating the role that various times play in three areas of discourse central to tourism practice: authenticity, capitalism and ecology. This work contributes to emerging debates surrounding the geopolitics of tourism by foregrounding the role politicized temporalities play in tourism, informing geopolitical practice and imaginaries of place.
