abstract |
This article, which examines inspection experiences in the home-based context of the
B&B, makes a distinctive contribution to surveillance theory, and specifically the
concept of ‘exposure’. It draws on Levinas’s phenomenological ideas on identity and
his concept of ‘sensibility’, in order to better place the ‘exposed’ subject at the
centre of analysis. Our empirical research shows how B&B proprietors negotiate their
exposure to surveillance within their homes when they take part in the tourist board’s
accommodation grading process. Their ‘lifestyle businesses’ involve exposing the context
of their own lives to their paying guests, and by extension to the hotel inspectors
from the tourist board with its own covert inspectorial procedures. These are described
from both the inspector’s and proprietor’s perspectives. We explore not only their
subjective experiences of the inspection process, but also the power dynamics between
proprietor and inspector, and the various resistance and counter-resistance strategies
which each employ. |
