(2014) SOPA63 20141School of Social Work
- Abstract
- This essay analyzes blogs written by volunteer tourists through a qualitative content analysis. The aim of this essay has been to investigate volunteer tourists descriptions of their experiences from a postcolonial perspective. The study has found that volunteer tourists in their blogs reproduces colonial stereotypes about the Other. The Other is being described in both positive and negative stereotypes but in either way they are often based on a stereotypical notion of the Other as primitive, impulsive, lazy, brutal or crazy. Descriptions of stereotypes that are positive towards the Other also describe them whith primitive features which can be mirrored against the West-self-image as modern and developed. :
