    No full text
    This short profile piece has been compiled for Professor Keith Hollinshead after his sad passing in September 2022. Keith, who worked as a scholar for over 40 years, made a notable impact within the applied field of Tourism Studies and as a Professor of Public Culture. Not only were his academic contributions celebrated and distinguished, but his incredibly generous and warm-hearted character touched upon the lives of many, through his nurturing of young academics and collaborations with more seasoned scholars. The commentary which is to follow will give readers an insight into Keith’s background, those authors which influenced his own academic pathfinding and a short overview of the contributions he made to the applied field of Tourism Studies and Public Culture. This piece will end with a short verse by the great Sufi mystic and poet, Mevlana Rumi, entitled ‘Proud Scholar’, which captures Keith’s passion for knowing people and gaining knowledge.</p

    Events and the framing of peoples and places:acts of declaration/acts of devilry

    This chapter explores how Quinn has pointedly called for more sustained investigation into matters of connectivity, which special events indeed have in terms of communal meaning and stakeholder/interest group support. Quinn's significant contribution to the Jamal and Robinson state-of-the-art inspection of Tourism Management/Tourism Sciences amounts to a reflective and penetrative commentary of the lead imperatives and the suppressed orientations which crop up in Event Management/Event Studies. Quinn bemoans the general shortfall of interdisciplinary cum multidisciplinary investment into the political profile of events, and thinks that lack has stymied conceptual awareness in the demesne of event development. The chapter presents the preliminary thinking of Hollinshead by providing a more substantial glossary which can prompt deeper and richer thinking on matters of research design within Event Studies. In selecting the 30 illustrative terms/concepts, the initial aim has been to respect Quinn's clear view that research into event management and event development remains a somewhat stilted and logocentric activity.<br/
