Gender matters: Rethinking violence in tourism
本文借鉴朱迪斯·巴特勒和斯拉沃热·齐泽克的理论,重新思考旅游中的性别暴力,挑战主观暴力与客观暴力的划分,将性别脆弱性置于讨论中心。
The intersection of violence and gender matters in tourism, with violence being both a cause and consequence of gender inequality. This article establishes a conversation with the works of Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek to rethink theories of violence and to develop a theoretical framework that captures the nuances and complexities of gender-based violence. Violence does not happen “elsewhere”, rather the potential for violence forms part of human relations. However, the violence inherent in tourism relations is seldom named. This article develops an original proposal of how to rethink conceptualizations of gender-based violence challenging the divide between subjective and objective violence to move the often obscured and ignored silences of gendered vulnerability centre stage to discussions of violence in tourism.
