Antonio Miguel Nogués-Pedregal
Professor of social anthropology of the Department of Social and Human Sciences at Universitas Miguel Hernández in Elche (Spain). I obtained my Ph.D. in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Sevilla (Spain) and an MA in Cultural Anthropology at Northwestern University (USA). I have delivered seminars and carried out research stages as Visiting Scholar (VS) in different European and American universities: Johannes Gutenberg-Universität (Germany); Oxford-Brookes University (United Kingdom); University of the Aegean (Greece); Università degli Studi di Teramo (Italia); Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar (Ecuador); University of Florida (United States of America); University of Oxford (United Kingdom); Univerza v Ljubljani (Slovenja); Wageningen University (Nederlands).
RESEARCH LINES
(1) My theoretical concerns focus on meanings production, this is, in those processes through which 'things' acquire different senses in different contexts of production.
(2) The most ethnographic research line deeps into the comprehension of culture and society in tourism contexts from a dialogical perspective. My analysis are highly influenced by the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, the ethnographic studies of Jeremy Boissevain, and Pierre Bourdieu's theory on social space (stratification).
(3) In the applied dimension I face issues related with cultural heritage and development, both in the realm of international cooperation (Latin America) as well as regional development (Europe).
Supervisors: Antonio Mandly, Jeremy Boissevain, and Salvador Rodríguez Becerra

[The anthropology of tourism must cease to conceptualize tourism as a monolithic and external agent with its own agency. In many territories, tourist practices have been an integral part of local reality for decades, influencing everything from business hours to public policies and identity expressions.]
There is general agreement among scholars that tourism produces commodification either through the commercialisation of culture by way of its recreation and inclusion in the category ‘heritage’ or through the invention of a tradition and / or spectacularization of specific cultural manifestations such as Holy Week. However, this paper reveals another reality that, due to the predominance of ideas of commercialisation and authenticity in the social sciences discourse, this type of activity often does not receive the attention it deserves. The participant observation in this work shows the persistence of personal, intimate and contemplative ways of experiencing religion or popular Catholicism even in tourism contexts. Far from the more theatrical versions of brotherhood and scenography in tourism territories, the simple everyday forms of religiosity are still prevalent in more hidden corners, where visitors and tourists do not go.
rearticulación y apropiación discursiva señalando la importancia de las condiciones históricas y sociales de los procesos de recepción.
Estos procesos están intrínsecamente relacionados con las matrices culturales locales y las mediaciones significativas presentes en el territorio. Estas, a su vez, no pueden entenderse sin los cambios socioeconómicos que ha sufrido la localidad desde mediados del siglo XX hasta la actualidad.
