Autoethnography in the Indigenous Tourism Experience
No full textFor over a quarter of a century, Prof Beeton has conducted tourism-based research into community development and public land management, but is best known for her work in film-induced tourism and pop culture. She is a Visiting Professor at the University of Hokkaido, and in 2019 Prof Beeton was awarded the TTRA Lifetime Achievement Award for her contribution to tourism research and scholarship.I squatted down, knees and joints creaking, and felt the stone… My world started to spin as I was transported back, back, back and the misty rain of the day embraced me. We have been here for ever, the people of the stones whispered … Most of those who experience indigenous tourism are themselves non-indigenous, and may view their experience quite differently to the ways the community may expect, or even want. Often our experiences are deeply personal, even spiritual. How to understand these personal experiences is an ongoing issue and can only be met by using more controversial research approaches, such the story-telling style of evocative autoethnography. The truly powerful element of autoethnography is when the ‘subject’ reveals something deep and personal that cannot be told/uncovered by others, which is a challenge in itself, but in order to get to and understand the deeply personal tourist experience, particularly in the indigenous realm, autoethnography remains one of the most pertinent approaches

No full textAlimentary: Arthur Conan Doyle and Isabella Beeton
No full textIn 1893, overwhelmed by readers\u27 insatiability for Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle killed his detective off at the height of his popularity. Writing to a friend in 1896, Doyle described how literally sick he was of the figure he had created: “I have had such an overdose of him that I feel towards him as I do towards pâté de foie gras, of which I once ate too much, so that the name of it gives me a sickly feeling to this day” (Chabon 17). Holmes\u27s (first) literary demise was marked by his creator with a culinary simile, one which recalls that his literary debut was made under the name that, above all others, stood for the culinary in late nineteenth-century Britain: Isabella Beeton. The first Sherlock Holmes story, “A Study in Scarlet,” appeared in the 1887 edition of Beeton\u27s Christmas Annual. Three other editors had rejected the story before the Beeton Annual accepted it. This Doyle-Beeton publishing encounter was an instance of one publishing phenomenon recognizing another one and ushering it into the limelight. When Doyle\u27s reflections on his huge publishing success turn to a gustatory memory of overindulgence in a purposefully overdeveloped organ, it raises the following question: what were the relationships between the mass market, the culinary, and the production and adjudication of judgment and refinement in the nineteenth century
Not Quite Under the Tuscan Sun... the Potential of Film Tourism in Marche Region
No full textThe relationship between film and tourism is complex and at times often subtle - not all movies directly encourage tourism, but they can influence tourist images as well as provide additional aspects to the tourist experience. This conceptual paper considers the role that film can play to encourage and enhance tourism in the Marche Region of Italy. Based on theoretical knowledge developed to date, a process to develop film tourism product is proposed. Such a practical application of academic knowledge will also provide data with which to further develop theoretical models in the field
Mrs Beeton: cooking, science, and innovations in the Victorian kitchen
No full textThe Book of Household Management by Isabella Mayson Beeton (1836-1865) is generally considered one of the most interesting works in the Victorian social and cultural context. The author’s stylistic choices, the sources used, the text structure, and the comparison with similar manuals of the period altogether suggest that Mrs Beeton was able to summarise and clarify the leading concepts of nineteenth-century British cuisine. Indeed, domestic manuals not only describe contemporary culinary habits: they also shape reality, offering the ideal condition to be attained in the kitchen (Gray 2013: 50-52). Therefore, the series named the Book of Household Management published from 1861 onwards is essential to understanding how English homes and food were represented during the long reign of Queen Victoria
Different ways to cook a rabbit: Georgiana Hill and Mrs Beeton
No full textBy Rachel Rich The sober title page matches Georgiana Hill's serious approach to cookery. Credit: The Internet Archive Georgiana Hill was a prolific cookery writer around the time when Mrs Beeton published her Book of Household Management (1861). Each woman wrote from an educated perspective, drawing on history and mythology to contextualise the ingredients they wrote about. Isabella Beeton was a young, successful journalist, who probably spent very little time in the kitchen. Much less is k..
