Abstract:
The research carried out under the doctoral program of Tourism and leisure deal with the exploration of the territorial dimensions of mobilities and the transformations they produce in terms of use and configuration of space; The thesis project aims specifically to explore the new social mechanisms that tourist mobilities unleash through the transformations that they produce in the use and configuration of space, paying special attention to the patterns of local space practices and their consequences in the systems of relationships that take place in urban spaces. It will therefore examine the interweaving of tourist mobilities with the space and community of Barcelona, paying specific attention to the social relations engendered around the practice of tourism. In this sense the project will illustrate how urban spaces are “contested and reproduced by processes of tourism development and urban renaissance, and by ‘the public’ who live and consume it through street-level interactions” (Mordue, 2005).
