ABSTRACT

This chapter analyses the possibilities that emerge from 'the material interactions of human corporeality and the more-than-human world' during nature holidays. It deals with nature holidays that include overnight stays in nature either in a tent or a simple sort of holiday home, that is, one which would have reduced facilities in comparison to tourists' everyday life. The chapter introduces applications of the rhythmanalytical approach and the empirical context. It explores the possibilities for environmental sensitiveness by analysing the practical concerns related to practising tourism in nature environments, the ways of doing otherwise and the intertwined rhythms of ordinary living. The chapter discusses how the practices that take place in the sphere of nature tourism create certain orderings and possibilities for disordering in relation to being environmentally sensitive. It ends by discussing when an environmental practice becomes constructed as a holiday practice and how these holiday practices could be turned into objects of observation of everyday life and 'sustaining life'.
