Description
On this episode I’m joined by Christopher Riendeau, a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from the University of North Carolina Wilmington where he learned first hand what it means to live in a tourist town. Chris’ research focuses on applied ethics in tourism and more specifically around existentialism and bad faith in the search for "authentic" tourism, and the subject/object problems inherent to the industry. In the midst of the COVID pandemic, he published an incredible essay entitled “Tourism, Colonialism and Disease,” which we talk about at length in this episode.Christopher joins me from his home in Portland, Oregon to dialogue about the revenge of tourism in a post-pandemic world, tourism as neocolonialism, existentialist philosophy and the search for the authentic, the master-servant relationship, labor-washing, and finally a slow, bicycle-driven form of travel. We end Season 1 almost a year later, where it began, approaching the dire consequences of travel and tourism in our times.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Essay: Tourism, Colonialism and DiseaseEssay: The Existential Quandry of the Millennial at Disneyworld-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Support the pod & movement via our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theendoftourismDiscover more episodes and join the conversation: http://www.theendoftourism.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter @theendoftourism Get full access to ⌘ Chris Christou ⌘ at chrischristou.substack.com/subscribe
