Abstract

ABSTRACT Though tourism research has become more value-laden in its scholarship and pedagogy, there is still a risk that tourism higher education curricula (re)produce uncritical views of society and sustainability. I argue that research methodology courses and assignments based on data collection can legitimize the use of sustainable tourism solutions based in generalizations and abstractions, rather than encourage the dialogue and reflectivity needed for major change in times of crisis. They also risk promoting a self-serving agenda where researchers (re)produce their success in the knowledge economy. In light of the limitations of the sustainability concept in time of planetary crisis, I look into the possibilities of a tourism research pedagogy in the Anthropocene by uncovering arguments for plurality and deliberation in knowledge production. Social scientists need to address questions of ethics in times of crisis. Conjointly, the Anthropocene highlights our planetary attachment, where human responsibility and social action are imminent.

从可持续性到人类世:对行星附件旅游研究教学法的思考
摘要尽管旅游研究在学术和教育学方面越来越有价值,但旅游高等教育课程仍存在重新产生对社会和可持续性不加批判的观点的风险。我认为,基于数据收集的研究方法课程和作业可以使基于概括和抽象的可持续旅游解决方案的使用合法化,而不是鼓励在危机时期进行重大变革所需的对话和反思。他们还冒着推动研究人员在知识经济中重新取得成功的自私议程的风险。鉴于可持续性概念在地球危机时期的局限性,我通过揭示知识生产中的多元性和深思熟虑的论点,探讨了人类世旅游研究教育学的可能性。社会科学家需要在危机时期解决伦理问题。同时,人类世凸显了我们对地球的依恋,人类的责任和社会行动迫在眉睫。
