《旅游管理杂志》最近的讨论呼吁对影响政策和规划的政治和经济结构进行更关键的解构。本文以此为契机，运用后结构主义框架考察了苏格兰的美食旅游景观。利用福柯的话语分析，解构了通过FCTIVA数据库搜索收集的2312个媒体资源，我们说明了政策话语如何通过官方美食旅游推广来特权中产阶级文化符号，边缘化特定的定位为工人阶级的食物。我们发现，这一点在油炸火星酒吧的例子中尤为明显；在那里，尽管有旅游欲望，但被归类的媒体话语将其构建为全球的、糟糕的和令人厌恶的，因此让官方旅游机构感到尴尬。最后，我们讨论了当旅游政策所涉及的权力、价值和利益没有被批判性地评估时，关注其边缘化和沉默效应的更广泛的重要性。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Recent discussions from the journal of tourism management call for more critical deconstructions of the political and economic structures that shape policy and planning. The present paper takes up this call, using a post-structualist framework to examine Scotland's food tourism landscape. Utilising Foucauldian discourse analysis to deconstruct 2,312 media sources collected through a Factiva database search, we illustrate how policy discourses privilege middle class cultural symbols through official food tourism promotion, marginalising particular foods positioned as working class. We find that this is particularly evident through the example of the deep fried mars bar; where, despite touristic desires, classed media discourses constructed it as global, bad and disgusting, and therefore an embarrassment to official tourism bodies. We conclude by discussing the broader importance of attending to the marginalising and silencing effects tourism policy exerts when the power values and interests involved in its formation are not critically appraised.
