Social Media in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality New Directions in Tourism Analysis Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides, E-TOUR, Mid Sweden University, Sweden SOCIAL MEDIA IN TRAVEL, TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY New Directions in Tourism Analysis Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides, E-TOUR, Mid Sweden University, Sweden Although tourism is becoming increasingly popular as both a taught subject and an area for empirical investigation, the theoretical underpinnings of many approaches have tended to be eclectic and somewhat underdeveloped. However, recent developments indicate that the field of tourism studies is beginning to develop in a more theoretically informed manner, but this has not yet been matched by current publications. The aim of this series is to fill this gap with high quality monographs or edited collections that seek to develop tourism analysis at both theoretical and substantive levels using approaches which are broadly derived from allied social science disciplines such as Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human and Social Geography, and Cultural Studies. As tourism studies covers a wide range of activities and sub fields, certain areas such as Hospitality Management and Business, which are already well provided for, would be excluded. The series will therefore fill a gap in the current overall pattern of publication. Suggested themes to be covered by the series, either singly or in combination, include – consumption; cultural change; development; gender; globalisation; political economy; social theory; sustainability. Also in the series Tourists, Signs and the City The Semiotics of Culture in an Urban Landscape Michelle M.

  • Class 200: New Studies in Religion”
    V NEWS n New Book Series: “Class 200: New Studies in Religion” The University of Chicago Press has recently launched a new book series: “Class 200: New Stud- ies in Religion.” The editors of the series are Kathryn Lofton (Department of Religious Studies, Yale University) and John Lardas Modern (Department of Religious Studies, Franklin & Mar- shall College). According to the editors, “Class 200 offers the most innovative works in the study of religion today. Resting on a generation of critical scholarship that reevaluated the central categories of the field, the series aims to surpass that good work by rebuilding the vocabulary of, and estab- lishing new questions for, religious studies. “The series will publish authors who understand descriptions of religion to be always bound up in explanations for it. It will nurture authorial reflexivity, documentary intensity, and gene- alogical responsibility. The series presumes no inaugurating definition of religion other than what it is not: it is not reducible to demographics, doctrines, or cognitive mechanics. It is more than a discursive concept or cultural idiom. It is something that can be named only with a pre- cise and poetic wrestling with the nature of its naming. “Class 200 seeks to renew the study of religion as a field of inquiry that is open in terms of disciplinary affiliation, relishes archival and ethnographic immersion, and is scrupulous in its use of categories. The series is not defined by topics but by certain shared fundamentals: rigor, an investment in language, an awareness of authority, and a strategy regarding the politics of truth claims in any archival or anthropological situation.” More information can be found at the University of Chicago Press’s website: http://www.

First, I would like to thank to my committee co‐chair, Prof. Fabian Winkler, whom welcomed me to ETB with open arms when I first asked him about the program more than three years ago. In these three years, I have learned a lot from him about art and life. Second, I want to express my gratitude to my committee co‐chair, Prof. Shannon McMullen, whom helped when I got lost and supported me when I got lost again. I will remember her care for the students when I teach. Third, I am thankful to my committee member Prof. Rick Thomas for having me along the ride to Prague, teaching many things about sound along the way and providing his insightful feedback. I was happy to be around a group of great people from many areas in Visual and Performing Arts. I specially want to thank the ETB people Jordan, Aaron, Paul, Mara, Oren, Esteban and Micah for spending time with me until night in FPRD. I also want to thank the Sound Design people Ryan, Mike and Ian for our time in the basement or dance studios of Pao Hall.
