This paper is not a page long as assigned. The core of this paper
should be a visual analysis with any conclusion or argument

coming from what you observed in the artwork. I would like to
see some more clear arguments connected to visual evidence
that you see within the art. Some of your sentences are unclear,
or structured in a way that makes it harder to understand your

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Tourism Studies IV
4TR505 Tourism and Sustainability in the Anthropocene (15
credits)
Course leader & examiner: Dr. Marianna Strzelecka
Email: [email protected]
(1) Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course you are expected to be able to:
perspective of sustainability
sustainability
to global sustainability,
planetary boundaries and the Anthropocene

cts of tourism sustainability
The learning outcomes provide the framework in which you are
supposed to develop your own
appropriate learning strategies. The assignments in this course
are both individual and in group,
and they are also overlapping in time. This demands
coordination, planning, and time-budgeting
of your studies (the total student workload for 15 credits is
approx. 420 hours). In this course you
are expected to demonstrate your ability, and willingness, to
carry out tasks independently and to
contribute to class collective learning environment.
(2) Assessment
The assessment of your achievement of the learning outcomes
for this course consists of the
following three assignments: (a) reading seminar participation;
(b) collaborative group project; (c)
individual project.
(a) Seminar participation & reaction paper (3 credits)
In this course the reading seminars are student led, which means
that you will be assigned to take
responsibility for organizing and conducting them. This also
includes the task of selecting one of the
readings upon agreement with the examiner (for details, see
under “required readings”).
The goal of the reading seminars is to encourage critical
discussion and reflection on tourism and
sustainability that are driven by the scholarly work you read.
Participation in the reading seminar will be assessed based on
your ability to reflect upon the
assigned and selected readings.
In critically reviewing research article you seek to discuss the

following (not all the items are
relevant to all the papers you read):
purpose/ goal of the article?
explored, presented, discussed.
2
of the findings/thoughts
(both theoretical and practical – as it is stated in the)
the approach, methods used,
discussed implications
Guidelines for writing reaction papers
The purpose of a reaction paper is to synthesize and critically
discuss and compare literature. You
need to select and critically discuss 4 articles for each week
(even thought the total number of the
articles may be greater).
You can begin a reaction paper by stating the main ideas and
evidence presented by the author(s),
and continue then with your own responses to those ideas --
drawing on your own evidence and
thinking.
Reaction paper for the specific WEEK must be submitted via
Moodle no later than 23:55 on

Tuesday, the day before Reading Seminar is scheduled. For
instance, Reaction paper for WEEK 1
must be submitted no later than 23:55 Tuesday Oct 10th, 2017.
Late submissions are not accepted.
You can miss one out of the total number of the reaction papers
without any consequence for your
grade. Each of the reaction papers will be graded.
Grading
Your performance in the seminars and quality of the reaction
papers will be assessed by the
instructor in relation to the intended learning outcomes (scale
E- pass or F- fail).
The criteria for grading include the understanding of the
assigned readings as it is demonstrated in
the reaction paper, quality of the argument, depth of analysis of
the readings and finally your ability
to create ‘dialogue’ between different readings.
(b)Collaborative group project (5CREDITS)
In this assignment you and the other group members will
design, carry out, and present a
collaborative group project focused on “tourism and
sustainability”. The project needs to be
conducted in accordance with the following criteria:
oject, a project
proposal needs to be approved by
the examiner. It should be aligned with the learning outcomes
and include a time-budget
(approx. 112 hours per student),
aspects of sustainability in two
travel destinations,

problematize at least 10 of the
following concepts: sustainability, sustainable development,
climate change, resilience,
society, nature, capitalism, planetary boundaries, the
Anthropocene, ethics, environment,
politics, anthropogenic forcing, ecological footprint, scale,
local, global, mobility,
production, consumption, networks.
The group must work independently:1) design the project, 2)
select project material, 3) generate
its own angles and takes, and 4) decide upon how to present the
group’s work in a creative way.
While doing so you should stay creative and think out of the
box. There are also many possible
forms of presentation that can be used in the project in your
project (maps, pictures, audio, video,
drawings, texts, play).
On the schedule you will find allocated time slots for the
collaborative group project. Note that
these are obligatory to attend. Your group will also present your
project to the rest of the class on
Monday, November 20, 2017. Each group will have 30 minutes
for the presentation plus 10
minutes for questions and discussion.
3
Grading
In this assignment all group members will receive the same
grade according to the scale A

(excellent) or F (fail). The examiner may exceptionally
determine the grade fx, to all members of
the group or to individual members (if the assignment is graded
F for the group or an individual
member, but considered near the border to E). Fx means that
supplementary work, specified by
the examiner, will need to be submitted. Further information
about grading criteria will follow.
(c) Individual project report (7CREDITS)
This assignment means that you will do an individual project on
the given topic: “Tourism and
sustainability”. Because the topic is broad you will have to
define your own focus and outline
how you will carry out your project. When designing your
project, and while working on it, you
will pay close attention to the learning outcomes for the course
and ensure that they are covered in
your project. As material for your project you will use the
course literature and current tourism
research articles in the area relevant for your project (approx.
300 pp.) that can be enriched by
secondary data or primary data collection. You will engage with
variety of sources that you find
useful and beneficial for your own project.
As part of the assignment you will submit two page long project
proposal by Friday October
20which needs to be approved by the examiner.
Your individual project report will be 3000 words long. The
project report will be typed with
correct and consistent citation and referencing (e.g. APA). The
style of writing should be
academic, but you are allowed to be creative and engage with
your own reactions, ideas and

perspectives. There are no further instructions in terms of how
you should structure or outline
your report except that you must design your report in a creative
way.
Grading
Your performance in the seminars and quality of the reaction
papers will be assessed by the
instructor in relation to the intended learning outcomes (scale
A- excellent or F- fail).
Weighing up of grades for the whole course
The overall grade for the course requires that all three
assignments have received the minimum
grade of E. The overall grade for the course will be determined
based on your overall
performance and specifically focus on the 3 types of
assignments (i.e. seminars and reaction
papers, group project and the individual project).
(3) Teaching
The course can be divided into three parts and teaching is
designed to support these. In the first
part we aim to introduce and get a grip on tourism in the context
of sustainability. In the second
part of the course we move on to current issues, debates, and
challenges around sustainability and
tourism, often signified by climate change and global
sustainability. These two parts are supported
by lectures, including two by Stefan Gössling, and an intensive
week of lectures by Michael Hall.
This is followed by a week where we engage with the concept of
the Anthropocene and make use
of video-lectures by some of the scholars to be found in that
field. In both of these first two parts
of the course we will have student-led reading seminars.

Note: There are no lectures or reading seminars during the final
two weeks (the third part of the
4
course). The period is devoted to the collaborative group work
leading up to presentations on
November 20th, 2017, and to the writing up of the individual
project to be handed in on Monday
November 29th, 2017.

Formal Analysis
After I had a tour of the MoMA Museum of Modern Art, I

would like to conduct an in-depth analysis and discussion on
one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Starry Night
by Vincent van Gogh in 1889.
At first sight of this painting, I found The Starry night depicted
a village in van Gogh's eye, peaceful and quiet, mixed with
reality and illusions. He broadly used cool colors and dynamic
lines to show the variable clouds and changing sky, punctuated
with the yellow moon and stars to picture more spiritual. Dull
green, brown tree placing on the left side is like a huge flame,
contrasting the blurred dreamy atmosphere. As we all can see,
van Gogh used delicate brushstrokes on the clouds which
formed the light blue swirls in the sky, in order to show the
movement of the clouds. When it comes to the village down
there, he kept the line straight and rigid for the small town. I
would say the irregular shape tree played an essential role in the
transition from straight line to soft line, thus balanced the
whole picture.
It’s no doubt that van gogh ‘s work has mixed reality and
illusion and the starry night he saw is unlike anything we would
see in normal, but that’s the exact reason why this painting has
When we look up to the sky, It's no doubt that the starry night
in van Gogh's eyes is unlike anything we saw in normal and
that’s the exact reason why it gives life to this painting.
