Just published on Leisure Science the paper 'Global citizenship & parrhesia in small values-based tourism firms' written by our Dr. Lucia Tomassini in collaboration with Dr. Ian Lamond and Dr. Elisa Burrai from Leeds Beckett University (UK). Their research focuses on the relationship between justice and tourism and the tension between consumerism and citizenship within the context of small tourism firms. In doing so it combines Foucault’s concept of parrhesia, the speaking of “truth to power”, with Latour’s Actor-Network Theory to show how those businesses are situated in an interconnected world, where the global/local dis- tinction is flattened.
