摘要 本文是关于旅游道德中介机构在治理中的作用。通过对一个案例研究：莫桑比克的Canhane村的研究，说明了度假和管理之间的联系。村落的主要旅游属性在于居民对有需要的社会的表现，寻求外部解决方案和指导。加拿大的良性旅游是资本主义扩张的结果，在这种扩张中，伦理、社区发展和治理与游客的消费混为一谈。具体地说，村里有善良的游客出现的商品化逻辑主要来自三个主题：游客的自我渴望，居民融入更广泛的社会经济秩序的雄心，以及发展产业刺激的道德政治化。最后，本文展示了通过旅游消费培养伦理如何成为对公共领域进行非政府治理的盟友。
ABSTRACT This article is about the role of tourist moral agency in governing. The affiliation between vacationing and governing is illustrated through the examination of a case study: the village of Canhane in Mozambique. The main touristic attribute of the village lies in residents' performance of a society in need, seeking outside solutions and guidance. Virtuous tourism in Canhane is the effect of a capitalist expansion in which ethics, community development, and governance are conflated with tourists' consumption. Specifically, the commodifying logic that emerges from the presence of virtuous tourists in the village derives primarily from three subjects: tourists' self-aspirations, residents' ambition to integrate into the broader socioeconomic order, and the politicization of virtue stimulated by the development industry. Ultimately, this article shows how the cultivation of ethics through tourism consumption has become an ally for the exercise of nongovernmental governance over public spheres.
