Space, body, ego: lines of activity of "tourist teams"

Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SOCJOLOGII JAKOŚCIOWEJ - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

This paper presents the results of empirical study on interactions between people involved in tourism. The paper adresses one of the most important condition those interactions: experience of "tourist teams". Using the grounded theory methodology, the lines of activity of "tourist teams" and four basic strategies underpinning them are distinguished. These strategies are: an "assimilation" of resources rendered-accessible-space by "trying on", an interpretation by "body-operation" and using a "new" context for interpreting an "old" one. The fourth strategy, relatively independent of rendered-accessible-space is a "fun". The paper addresses some consequences of lines of activity established by "tourist teams" for identities of the team's members.
