This seminar explores the various ways residents respond to the rapidly evolving phenomenon of touristification. Diverse mediums will be contemplated, such as, protest, street art, communal gatherings, comics, and satirical tourist brochures and posters in varying spatial contexts across Europe, in order to consider the affordances, capacities and motivations that inform resident engagement with particular responses to touristification, as well as the effects of such mediums in their spatial contexts.
