摘要
The purpose of this research note is to
present some reflections on the role of
animals in animal-based tourism experiences.
It is inspired by those tourism studies
concerning the conceptualization of animals
and human-animal relationships (e.g., Curtin
2005, 2009, 2010; Woods 2000; Cohen 2012).
Some of these studies qualify the domain in
which encounters between the tourists and
the animals occur as the place where
humanity and animality meet. Thus, these
encounters are viewed as particularly
complex and meaningful. Although these
studies concern wildlife tourism, it can
reasonably be assumed that similar
considerations are valid for any form of
tourism that includes animals. This study
focuses on the case of domesticated animals.
People who live in close contact with
domesticated animals tend to view them from
the perspective of both their animality and
also their individual subjectivity (Fox 2006).
This observation can be relevant to those
tourism activities that involve domesticated
animals (e.g., dog sledding, equine tourism).
Although the studies mentioned at the
beginning of this section can be viewed as a
sign of recognition by some tourism scholars
of animals as important elements of the
tourism experience, the dominant position in
the literature seems to be characterized by a
view of animals as rather passive elements.
This study proposes a conceptualization of
human-animal encounters focused on the
central and active role played by the animals.
Moreover, it is proposed that tourism
experiences in which the tourists can interact
closely with one or more animals can be
viewed as encounters among subjects. The
point of departure is the co-creation
approach to the tourism experience.
