The Dark Side Of Creative Tourism: A Philosophical Dialogue With Culture, Babu P. George
The Dark Side Of Creative Tourism: A Philosophical Dialogue With Culture, Babu P. George
Babu George
This manuscript interrogates the epistemological limitations of creative tourism, which is framed technically within “cultural tourism”. Discussing the old prejudices and paternalist discourses of colonialism, where “science” developed an uncanny sentiment of protection and submission for aboriginals, “cultural tourism” emulates old forms of domination, in a context of extremes and economic crisis. If creativity only works in contexts of scarcity, it would be interesting to understand capitalism as a cultural project that shows some problems to understand the “ non-European other” and environmental resources.
