Abstract

This manuscript from Hollinshead and Vellah calls for researchers in Tourism Studies and related Fields to reflect upon their own role in refreshing the social imaginaries of "after-colonialism" under the nomadisms of our time. Deleuzian in outlook, it positions the “post” of postcolonialism not as an end to colonialism's imperatives but as a generative-portal through which new-seeds-of-"becoming"are discernable as the postidentities (rather than the “identities”) of populations are interpretable in multidirectional,
non-hierarchical, and not easily-predictable ways. In provoking (after Deleuze) thought per rhizomatic processes (rather than via fixed concepts), the manuscript - critiquing these dynamic matters of “postidentity” - then harnesses the insights of (Leela) Ghandi’s on hybrid-nomadic-subjects, and of Venn on alternative-(com)possible-futures. Thereafter, these concerns of
and about “after-colonialism” are critically contextualised within Aboriginal “Australia”, via the views of a pool of Indigenous intellectuals there, who synthesise the disruptive dialectics of belonging-cum-aspiration which they maintain that they and fellow Aboriginal people (of many sorts) face today. Throughout this manuscript, the agency and authority of tourism hovers in its sometimes-manifest / sometimes-latent generative power to project empowering postidentities for the world’s “host” or “visited” populations today.
