The document discusses heritage tourism and opportunities for conservation geography. It notes that heritage is everywhere and always present, with the "now" being when heritage is created and the "before" referring to the past which confirms what was created in the present. The document critiques narrow research on heritage tourism and calls for new ideas and methods. It examines traditional approaches to defining heritage and geography in the context of tourism. Word clouds are presented analyzing conference calls for papers relating to geography, tourism and heritage. Themes that emerged include landscape and place, food, sound, globalization, race/ethnicity and everyday life. Abstracts from a heritage tourism symposium are also analyzed without mentions of "heritage" or "tour

Unit 1 - Geography: Its Nature and Perspectivesaphugprep
In this unit we will review the central concepts nd tools in human geography that may show up on the AP Exam. This focuses on the general concepts that encompass all of the six areas that you must know for the test.
Some critics may have you believe that computer game studies lack theoretical rigor, that games cannot afford meaningful experiences. I agree with them, sometimes, but I also believe that a richer understanding of computer games is possible, and that this understanding can shed some light on related issues in the wider field of Digital Humanities.
My main area of research has been designing and evaluating how contextually appropriate interaction can aid the understanding of cultures distant in time, space, and in understanding to our own. This field is sometimes called Virtual Heritage. In Virtual Heritage, tools of choice are typically virtual reality environments, and the projects are very large in scale, complexity, and cost, while my projects are often prototypes and experimental designs. I have many challenges, for example, morphing technological constraints into cultural affordances, and avoiding possible confusion between artistic artifice and historical accuracy, all the while evaluating intangible concepts in a systematic way without disturbing the participants’ sense of immersion. To help me judge the success or failure of these projects I have shaped some working definitions of games, culture, cultural understanding, cultural inhabitation, and place. However, these concepts and definitions are not enough. I also have to now tackle the issues of simulated violence, artificial “other” people, the temptation of entertainment masquerading as education, and the difficulties inherent in virtually evoking a sense of ritual.
My lecture, then, is a discussion into how game-based learning, and the study of culture, heritage and history, might meaningfully intersect.
Plenary_The Eighth International Tourism and Media (ITAM) Conference 5-7th Ju...Rodanthi Tzanelli
The Production of Location
The eighth ITAM conference aim is to continue the network’s exploration of new ideas and debates sprung from the intersection between tourism industries and practices and those that broadly relate to the fields of media and communication. In this vein, the conference will aim to provide a forum where, taking their lead from Rodanthi Tzanelli’s concept of ‘global sign industries’ (2007) interdisciplinary research conversations gather pace around what are increasingly convergent fields of study and practice. While trends in scholarship on tourism and media are often reflective of discreet disciplinary dispositions, particularly those linked to perspectives in marketing and business, the necessarily open and ‘undisciplined’ terrain that defines the critical landscapes of the relationship between various forms of media and tourism today demands a similarly open and undisciplined approach to keep pace with what is an ever-shifting and multi-stranded field of study.
The overarching theme of this conference is the production of location and we invite contributions that critically addresses questions of cultural brokerage in media tourism whilst continuing to warmly welcome submissions from the inter- and cross-disciplinary traffic that informs the research on media and tourism and addresses a range of topics pertinent to both areas.

2. Heritage is Everywhere…
And Always Present
Now More than Before
The Now = a Moment in Time when Heritage is Created
The Before = The Past = The Confirmation of what was
Created in the Now Moment
“…we cannot avoid remaking our heritage,
for every act of recognition alters what survives.”

3. Heritage Tourism Research
Complaints: Narrow Range of Heritage Tourism
Research
Exotic locations & exception places and objects
Little scope for transference to other contexts
Limited range of methodologies
Repeated use without challenge
Similar to critiques of tourism
research in general
Calls to Avoid:
Standard explanations, Accepted
analyses (safety)
Need to Engage:
New ideas, Novel methods, (Risk)
4. Traditional Approaches
(A) “History” as the chronological and verifiable past
-vs-
“Heritage” as a mediated outcome of selected facts and fantasies
(B) Social Science “what and why”
-vs- Business “how to”
(C) Heritage to achieve:
- Economic Activities
- Political Agendas
- Place Identities
(D) Heritage as a form of:
1. Structural and Institutional Control - Contestation and Dialogue
over Heritage
2. Commodification and Consumption - Heritage as Tourism
3. Existential Experience - Role Construction and Person
Transformation by Consuming Nostalgia
5. Definitions
Heritage
“Virtually anything by which
some kind of link, however
tenuous or false, may be forged
with the past.”
(Johnson & Thomas 1995: 170)
Buildings, Ceremonies, Customs, Literature, Art, Pl
aces, “Things”
Geography
“…ways in which space, place and the environment
participate in an unfolding dialogue of meaning …
[including how they] are perceived and represented
…” (Shurmer-Smith 2002: 3)
Location, Spatial patterns, Sense of
place, Landscape as text
6. Like Geography,
Heritage is Everywhere
“All at once heritage is everywhere – in the
news, in the movies, in the marketplace – in
everything from galaxies to genes.”
David Lowenthal, The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History (1996)

Theoretical Currents II: Architecture and its Geographical Horizons4-5 April 2012An International Conference to be held at the University of Lincoln, UKOrganised by the East Midlands History and Philosophy Research Networkhttp://www.theoreticalcurrents.com <http://www.theoreticalcurrents.com/> http://www.lincoln.ac.uk/home/campuslife/whatson/eventsconferences/Call for Papers:In Ptolemy’s Cosmographia, the geographic impulse maps not only the known world, but also the inhabited world – the world of cities, towns and architecture. The cartographic drive to realise the phenomenal experience of place, territory, nation, in tangible and visible analogues such as maps, and less tangible ideas in the representations of dominion, cultivation, and culture is still with us today.Our present age of globalisation has witnessed a growing interest in the potential affinities between the theories and methodologies of geography and architecture. Manifested in the intersecting relationships between notions of region, geophysical terrain, landscape, topography and architectural space, this development has contributed to an emerging field of enquiry. We see this for example in the deployment of geographical techniques and terminologies in architectural and urban design, and the appropriation (or transformation) of traditional architectural concepts (such as scale and proportion) to a matrix of spatio-temporal relationships.This conference proposes to assemble a group of thinkers who examine this topic from both a contemporary and historical perspective, highlighting how developments in surveying, cartography, geology, perspective, agriculture, trade, politics, transport and warfare have contributed in varying ways to the perception and representation of architecture as a geographical concern.Themes:Negotiating BoundariesPerceptions of DistanceCartographies of the New/Old WorldsUnstable GeographiesLandscape as Reflective/Poetic TerrainRoadways and TrajectoriesArchitecture as Geographic MappingPilgrimage and TourismTrans-cultural GeographiesDesign and the Geographic ImpulseSustaining the Agricultural TerrainArchitecture, Empire and the Oecumene
