  • Climate Change and Doom Tourism: Advertising Destinations ‘Before They Disappear’
    Climate Change and Doom Tourism: Advertising Destinations ‘Before They Disappear’ Dr Elspeth A. Frew School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management La Trobe University Bundoora Vic 3086 Australia Phone: +61 3 9479 2333 Fax: +61 3 9479 1010 Email: [email protected] 1 Climate Change and Doom Tourism: Advertising Destinations ‘Before They Disappear’ The paper investigates tour operators’ on-line promotion of tours to natural regions of the world which are beginning to be negatively affected by climate change. This is particularly illuminating given the highly competitive environment in which tour operators’ work, where they are under pressure to maximise the use of the natural resources before they deteriorate beyond use or, disappear completely. The study examined the websites of tour operators who operate in the Great Barrier Reef, Greenland and Mount Kilimanjaro and found that only a small proportion of tour operators currently use such techniques to promote their products. However, the operators that do have recently developed tours to allow tourists to experience the impact of global warming first hand and provide those tourists with opportunities to contribute financially and/or in kind to the conservation of the region. Areas of future research are identified. Key words: ecotourism; global warming; climate change. 2 Climate Change and Doom Tourism: Advertising Destinations ‘Before They Disappear’’ INTRODUCTION Over the last thirty years, several events have supported the contention by the ‘green movement’ that economic development and growth may be inconsistent with the world’s environmental carrying capacity. These events included a series of high-profile environmental disasters, escalation in human induced climate change, accelerating ozone depletion, increased incidence of dangerous viral and bacterial mutations and, rampant desertification and deforestation (Weaver and Lawton, 2006).

  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

In the 60’s his father inherited some money and with it he built the Pamet Harbor Yacht Club and the floats. He bought a power launch, too. He and Charlie Francis also built the small house nearby. He got some boats and hired someone to teach sailing. Harriet Hobbs was one of the first students. Bill remembers that they tied knots on rainy days. In the 80’s Ansel Chaplin and Charles Davidson created the Conservation Trust and Bill’s mother was on the Board. Both parents also volunteered in Connecticut. William Worthington Almost as soon as Bill moved out here in 2001, Ansel Senior of the Year Chaplin suggested that he join the Planning Board. He was Chair for a little while and is still on the Board.
