Grid/Group Theory and its Applicability to Tourism and Migration

Abstract

Grid/group theory, as advanced in the social sciences (particularly anthropology) is used to explore the relationship between migration and tourism. By building on the notion of transnationalism as previously applied to migrant mobilities, the paper suggests that grid/group theory can be conceptually married to the concept of temporary mobilities and migration as a means through which migrant behaviour is examined. Manifestations of grid/group, modelled using continua of grid (as those constraints, socially derived, that affect behaviour) and group (the extent to which social activities are governed and mediated by attachment and association to social collectives), are used to rationalize post-migratory mobilities.
