Edited Collection Call For Papers

Title: Audiovisual Tourism Promotion: A Critical Overview

Editors: Dr Diego Bonelli & Dr Alfio Leotta (Victoria University of Wellington)

We would like to invite scholars to contribute to a planned volume on audiovisual tourism promotion. The category ‘audiovisual tourism promotion’ is here understood in the broad sense, encompassing a variety of media forms such as travelogues and travel films, government-sponsored tourism films, tourism TV commercials, tourism videos released on social media, feature films, TV travel shows, tourism amateur films, airline safety videos, and so on. We will consider a wide range of methodological approaches, case studies and time periods.
Even though over the last two decades the relationship between media and tourism has been receiving increasing academic attention tourism audiovisual promotion remains severely under researched. Despite their omnipresence, very few scholars (Leotta, 2019; Bonelli, 2018; Pan et al., 2017; Leung et al., 2017; Gong and Tung, 2017; Pan et al., 2011) have examined the aesthetic, thematic and institutional characteristics of tourism films, commercials and promotional videos. Similarly, there has not been any systematic attempt to develop a theoretical framework able to encompass and describe the multifaceted nature of audiovisual tourism promotion. This edited collection will attempt to fill these gaps in the literature by both providing a theoretical framework to understand audiovisual tourism promotion and by tracing its historical and aesthetic evolution.

Following are suggestions for prospective chapters; please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to propose additional themes/ideas and would like to discuss these further:

• TV Travel Shows
• Tourism TV Commercials

Transformations announces the release of Issue 34

Inhuman Algorithms

http://www.transformationsjournal.org/
Algorithms are integral to a digital, networked, automated society. Thrown into the public spotlight by a certain high profile search engine, algorithms are increasingly recognised to exercise agency in practices such as governance, surveillance, online personalisation, medicine, design, high frequency trading, credit scoring and plagiarism. Computational machines make decisions about things, people, places and experiences, and humans learn to address algorithms.
Algorithms have inhuman capacities. They do not become distracted, tired, impatient or emotional. At the same time the algorithm's inhuman abilities can be understood as a desirable improvement on human skills. Algorithms are inhuman forces that bring social, political, material and cultural formations into being, generating and extinguishing possibilities. Their inhumanism transmutes ideas of the human and demands new (post)humanisms.
