Les récits peuplent nos civilisations depuis les débuts de l'humanité, comme en attestent les peintures rupestres et les épopées grecques qui nous fascinent encore aujourd'hui. Ils sont le ciment de notre capacité à vivre ensemble, à transmettre des connaissances par-delà les générations, mais aussi à s'évader vers d'autres imaginaires. Le recours à la narration dans le discours touristique et dans les médiations déployées dans les musées et les lieux de patrimoine constitue une opportunité de toucher les visiteurs par la voie des sens et des émotions, qui active l'attention et la mémorabilité des situations vécues. Portées par des outils numériques ou dénuées de technologies, ces narrations nous mènent à envisager nos pratiques professionnelles sous l'angle de l'empathie, des méthodes design et de la participation des publics pour privilégier l'écriture de récits communs et appropriables par toutes et tous. Dans une écologie de l'attention, le récit pose la question d'une communication et d'une médiation plus sensibles et plus sobres, dont cet ouvrage montre de nombreux exemples et propose des méthodes pour y parvenir.

This book deconstructs the ‘sharing’ marketing narratives surrounding Airbnb and similar platforms. It provides a conceptual analysis of the ‘sharing economy’ and accommodation sector and furthers the ongoing discussion surrounding Airbnb and the social sustainability of city tourism. The volume analyses the touristification of neighbourhoods in the context of broader economic and ideological shifts, thus bridging the gap between academic and social debate. It presents four different city scenarios of potential future developments and evaluates the effects of different regulatory responses, giving readers an understanding of the forces and factors at work and envisioning the ultimate consequences of current developments. The book will appeal to students and researchers in tourism and hospitality studies, futures studies and urban planning, as well as to policymakers and strategists in the hospitality and tourism sectors.

"Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or walking into a stranger's home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it's as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era: redefining neighborhoods, challenging the way governments regulate business, and changing the way we travel. In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. These are the upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Led by such visionaries as Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb, they are rewriting the rules of business and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process. The Upstarts is the definitive story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened and what it took to change the world"--From the publisher's web site.
