Resistance and power dynamics in tourist destinations: a study of Mallorca’s anti-touristification protests through Bourdieu’s theory of practice
通过文献综述和32次定性访谈,反驳了将反旅游化抗议视为暴力排外的说法,揭示了财务依赖、社会阶层和错误信息等因素如何影响居民对旅游负面影响的接受或抵抗。
The negative effects of an ongoing touristification has sparked resistance among the residents in affected tourist destinations. The resulting movements and their demands were labelled as violent and xenophobic, selfish and envious by the tourism industry, politicians and parts of academia. In our study, we contradict these claims. Instead, we demonstrate that these allegations are based on questionable scientific research and/or attempts by the ruling class to delegitimise the movements. Based on a literature review and 32 qualitative interviews with residents of the Balearic island of Mallorca, we identify reasons such as financial dependence, social class and habitus, and manipulation through misinformation as reasons for accepting or not protesting against the negative impacts of tourism. touristification, Bourdieu, social movements, protest, overtourism, tourism dependency
