Scholars and commentators trying to assess the nature of touristic encounters have often reached contrasting conclusions. While on the one hand, such encounters appear to be fraught by striking inequalities, highly deceptive, and a constant source of misunderstanding and reciprocal exploitation, on the other hand, they seem to hold the promise of reciprocal exchange and positive intercultural connections. How do these opposing evaluations take shape, and what informs them? Building on a selective review of anthropological literature on touristic encounters and ethnography of relationships between ‘tourists’ and ‘locals’ in Cuba, the article unpacks the moral underpinnings and interpretive frameworks on which these polarizing views are grounded. In touristic encounters in Cuba, contrasts and oppositions between sentiment and interest lead the different actors involved to blur and redraw boundaries between the intrinsic and the instrumental value of relationships. In explaining these different assessments of encounters the article draws attention to the competing agendas, aspirations, and moral demands that inform the way judgments are made, and provides analytical pathways to illuminate the uneasy coexistence of different interpretative frameworks in tourism.
This article examines the contradictions in the uneasy marriage between tourism and nation-building. While it appears a quick fix for socioeconomic development, the industry has potentially counter-productive effects that can undermine a developing country's national aspirations. Few studies spotlight the place of national and social justice agendas in relation to tourism development. This article contributes to a nascent move to understand how tourism, as a tool for nation-building, affects such goals. The authors suggest that developing countries wishing to combine economic growth with social equity risk falling victim to the Janus-faced character of tourism.
The Beef Industry Needs You
Tourism is a multibillion dollar industry worldwide that has transformed apparently marginalised locations into hotspots of consumerism. Governments seeking low investment, high-yield industries have turned to this service industry to facilitate the generation of income for state coffers. In doing so, states have become integral players in the selling of their own citizenry. This article uses the emergence of the Cuban tourism industry to explore how Cuba's socialist state, ideologically existing for the emancipation of its people, works to commodify and, through that commodification, control its populace. This article makes use of a decade's worth of ethnographic fieldwork to illustrate how Cubans engage and negotiate these processes with foreigners, adapting and adopting the state's attempts to commodify their bodies, for their own advantage rather than the state's. The production of these illusionary desires ultimately results in the creation of Cuban phantasms that undermine the state's own selling of the Revolution and ultimately, its control over its citizenry.
Tourism has provided myriad spaces in which black Cuban subjects participate in self-making, yet within a field still constrained by historical structures of sexual and racial interpellation. This essay focuses on the local social cultural context of male sex labor in Havana, Cuba, from 1998 to 2003. It explores the subjective intentions of young Cuban men during the Special Period in Times of Peace and current Transition on the island, relative to the gaze of tourists and social cultural and economic change in Cuba.
Scale has recently entered social anthropology as both a unit of analysis and a heuristic tool. This paper highlights the applicability to the anthropology of tourism of what has been identified as “projects of scale-making” by Tsing (2000) and respective “modes of incorporation” by Glick Schiller, Caglar and Guldbrandsen (2006). Because tourism is one of the central industries shaping present-day understandings of what is global and what is local, scale as a theoretical and methodological tool is ideally suited to study this field. Central concerns of anthropological research on tourism, such as the industry’s political economy, its influence on the perception of landscapes and culture as well as the problematic notion of authenticity, are reconside- red. We argue that central shortcomings of the globalisation debate, such as a teleologically-minded futurism, euphemistic notions of economic circulation and conflations of mundane and scientific debates, shape both the tourism industry and too many anthropological studies on tourism. In light of the contributions collected in this dossier this paper instead develops an analyti- cal framework that highlights the hidden relations of production in tourism economies and the impacts of projects of scale-making on the construction of landscapes and culture.

The moments of interaction between foreign tourists and members of the local community who are not employed in the formal tourist sector have seldom been the focus of analysis in the realm of tourism studies. Nevertheless, these encounters, qualified in this paper as informal to the extent that they happen beyond the control of the tourism authorities and are susceptible of being repressed, are widespread all over the world, and their examination - as recent researches on sex tourism have demonstrated - promises to be very fruitful. How do this encounters happen? Where do they take place? Which are the strategies and the tactics employed by the people at stake? Which are the roles these people play? How do the protagonists make sense of these encounters and how do they affect their experiences? These are some of the questions that can arise, and the city of La Havana, where a first ethnographic fieldwork was carried out in February 2005 as part of a PhD project, seems to be an ideal research site to answer them. Within this city, it clearly appears that the settings and stages where the interactions occur influence the tactics employed both by tourists and Cubans in order to get in touch or to avoid encounters, as well as their success in doing so. In this respect, notions of contextual and situated self-presentation, typification and role performance can give useful insights on the ways people make short deals or develop less transient relations which may flow into companionship and mutual trust. Furthermore, some regularities can be pointed out concerning the tactics and roles mobilized by the interacting partners, an important feature being their attempts to script and channel into more familiar grounds these informal encounters permeated by doubt and ambiguity.

Past Bulldog GA’s have found homes on coaching staffs at places like Arizona Christian University, Grand Canyon University, Iowa State University, the University of Nebraska-Kearney, the University of North Dakota and the University of South Carolina-Upstate, to name a few.
Now we welcome a new wave of talented grad assistants. A number of them earned their undergraduate degrees from Concordia and several are from out-of-state. States represented include Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. We asked them to comment on what drew them to Concordia and what they hope to bring to their respective programs at Concordia. Below are the responses that were provided.
My situation is different because I have been here and done it as a player. So therefore I have a great understanding of the school from a player point of view. I know what the players want and how they react to given situations. It is very appealing to me to become part of the coaching capacity because coaching is something I want to continue to proceed with in the future. Jason will be a great mentor for me and I will learn a lot from him which will therefore help better myself. I can see myself contributing mainly in practice sessions and also working on the defensive side of the game. As a player I have always seen myself as a leader on the field and this now helps me from the sideline. I have been coaching now for the past five years and I have gathered some great practice sessions during this time which I am looking forward to delivering this season.

My situation is unique due to my previous relationship with the men’s team and the university as a whole. While it makes life for me easier in some ways, I will be approaching my new role with eagerness and passion not unlike someone entirely new to the institution and team. In the latter years of my career as a player and captain at , I knew that my importance to the team was just as much as a leader, as it was a goalkeeper. I enjoyed
