摘　　要：In general,this manuscript critiques the contemporary dynamisms of the formation/deformation of the cultural sphere under the increased mobilisations of globalization.In particular,it inspects the symphysis[□SYMPHYSIS]between'tourism'and'culture',where the latter stands as an immense portmanteau phenomenon embracing many different things(under the vicissitudes of globalisation/glocalisation)across the protean realms of race,gender,entertainment,consumerism,meaning-making,et cetera.Critiquing Jamal and Robinson's recent attempt at panoramic coverage of the geography of tourism/tourism studies),it argues that tourism is regularly implicated in cultural practices relating to power-exercises in/across society.Then,in synthesising Bauman’s vision of contemporary society as that moving from seemingly well-ordered stabilities to a geographic realm where change is the-only-permanence and uncertainty the-only-certainty,the manuscript generates five lead propositions calling for'plural knowability',viz.,for a deeper/richer palette-of-imagination on the teeming multiplicities and throbbing provisionalities of culture as it emerges/unfolds or otherwise gets recast under the destabilising'nomadic logics'of our time.In viewing culture as a vehicle of both'impermanence'and'seduction'nowadays,the paper notes how in so many places and spaces,individuals are less inclined to be engaged locally/regionally/nationally as culture-partly through the volatile iterability of travel/tourism-has become an ever-widening polylogue.
