Description:

Five thousand years old, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and calm. Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an integral part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in length. It provides the reader with all the tools necessary to begin Ayurvedic treatments as a part of a spa menu or massage therapy program.

> Since the beginning of modernity, tourist travel routes - and thus the
> paths of tourism researchers - have led almost exclusively from "the West"
> to "the rest" of the world ("the West and the Rest", cf. Stuart Hall).
> Correspondingly, as far as the western world was concerned, the presence
> of people from the global "East" and "South" largely remained bound to the
> discursively constructed and administratively handled figure of the
> (illegal) migrant or nomad.
>
> In the last few years, however, the expansion and lower cost of travel
> opportunities on the one hand, and the economic upturn in parts of the
> global "East" and "South" on the other hand have meant that western
> destinations have become realistically accessible for more and more people
> from the former "rest of the world" in the framework of leisure-time
> travelling.
>
> This session enquires whether and how western-influenced patterns of world
> order, constructions of identities, as well as traditional roles and
> interactions in tourist space change when, in the context of cultural
> contacts influenced by tourism, it is no longer merely the case that "the
> West" visits the native lands of "the rest", but instead that "the rest"
> suddenly stands on the doorsteps of western villages and cities, in order
> to consume locally, now in the role of tourists to be served,
>
> - their own culture in the western world, or
>
> - "the West" in the variety of its local cultures.
>
> With which consequences, re-establishing or thwarting existing power
> relations between cultures, will identities in these touristic settings be
> challenged, (re-)negotiated and (re-)experienced by different social
> groups?
>
> The aim of this session is to investigate interactions in tourist space
> between persons present face to face in specific places, who are situated
> in power relationships that are challenged by traditional roles and
> cultural knowledge. Particularly welcome are papers that empirically
> examine the changes in leisure-time travelling described above upon
> specific groups (and their relations to others) in touristic settings,
> such as travelers (from the global "South" or "East"), those visited (in
> the "West") or those active in the service sector. Also very welcome are
> papers that theoretically or empirically challenge the classic West/rest
> dichotomy in order to sketch out new categories of scientific thinking in
> the field of global tourism research.

> Abstracts (limited to 250 words) should be sent to Sybille Frank

> and an email contact for the lead author. Authors will be notified of
