This talk traces the pathways of the emerging figure of the global consumer-tourist, paying particular attention to the /spaces/ which both create and foster specific pathways and experiences while excluding others. The speaker compares the figure of the tourist with other metaphors of today's mobilities: migrant, pilgrim, nomad and traveler. Overall, this talk offers a critical cartography of the spatial practices of the contemporary global tourist.
