Resumen

Este artículo de opinión tiene como objetivo analizar el papel cada vez más crucial de las redes en el ocio y el turismo. Considera diferentes formas de entender las redes, basándose en el trabajo de Tim Ingold y Randall Collins. En particular, evalúa el uso de diferentes metáforas para los constructores de redes, incluyendo las reflexiones de Ingold sobre las hormigas y las arañas, e introduce la idea de archipiélagos como un marco conceptual para las redes. Desde que Manuel Castells acuñó la frase "sociedad red" en su obra de 1996, el auge de Internet y las redes sociales ha convertido su visión en una realidad global. Estamos cada vez más conectados con personas y lugares de todo el mundo, y esto también ha transformado la forma en que trabajamos, viajamos y disfrutamos del ocio. Este artículo considera el papel de las redes en la sociedad contemporánea y cómo se conciben en los campos del turismo y el ocio. Una paradoja de la sociedad red es que la ampliación de las conexiones sirve para estrechar nuestra visión, lo que se refleja en las redes de investigación por el creciente predominio del inglés y una cultura de investigación anglosajona. Prestamos atención a la relación entre las diferentes formas y efectos de la red, y lo que "hace que las cosas sucedan" en las redes. Basándonos en las metáforas de Ingold (2008) de la HORMIGA y la ARAÑA como creadores de redes, introducimos el Archipiélago como una nueva forma de pensar sobre las redes que refleja la creación recíproca de valor de la red.
