| Synopsis: |
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the study of hospitality as a social phenomenon. This interest has tended to arrive from two communities. The first are hospitality academics interested in exploring the wider meanings of hospitality as a way of better understanding guest and host relations and its implications for commercial settings. The second are social scientists using hosts and guest as a metaphor for understanding the relationship between host communities and guests as people from outside the community - migrants, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. The Routledge Handbook of Hospitality Studies encourages both the study of hospitality as human phenomenon and the study for hospitality as an industrial activity embracing the service of food, drink, and accommodation. Developed from specifically commissioned original contributions from recognised authors in the field, it is the most up to date and definitive resource on the subject.The volume is divided into four sections, the first looks at ways of seeing hospitality from an array of social science disciplines; the second highlights the experiences of hospitality from different guest perspectives; section three explores the need to be hospitable through various time periods and social structures, and across the globe, whilst the final section deals with the notions of sustainability and hospitality. This handbook is interdisciplinary in coverage and is also international in scope through authorship and content. The 'start of the art' orientation of the book is achieved through a critical view of the current debates and controversies in the field as well as the future research issues and trends. It is designed to be a benchmark for any future assessment of the field and its development. This book offers the reader a comprehensive synthesis of this discipline, conveying the latest thinking, issues and research. It will be an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in hospitality, encouraging dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and areas of study. |
