ZusammenfassungVolunteer Tourism, d. h. die Verschmelzung von Tourismus und dem Engagement in Freiwilligenorganisationen, erfreut sich in den letzten Jahren nicht nur sprunghaften Interesses bei jungen Erwachsenen in vielen Ländern des Westens, sondern auch wachsender wissenschaftlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Dabei steht oft die Motivation der Freiwilligen stärker als die tatsächliche Wertigkeit für den Berufseinstieg im Fokus. Der vorliegende Forschungsbericht nimmt sich auf der konzeptionellen Grundlage der Bourdieu’schen Kapitalformen der Frage nach den kurz- und langfristigen Effekten für die Teilnehmer an. Die auf leitfaden-gestützten Interviews mit unterschiedlichen Akteuren basierenden Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es zwischen Freiwilligen, Anbietern und potenziellen Arbeitgebern zu Brüchen hinsichtlich der verschiedenen Kapitalformen kommt, insbesondere bei der Interpretation und späteren Inwertsetzung von kulturellem Kapital. Insgesamt trägt der vorliegende Bericht somit zur differenzierteren Betrachtung des vielgestaltigen Phänomens „Volunteer Tourism“ bei.

Volunteer tourism takes place within neoliberal globalisation and reflects inequalities of privilege and mobility. This qualitative research examined the experiences of young female voluntourists who visited Delhi as part of a trip organised by an Australian University Postgraduate Student Association. The aim was to investigate the motives and potentialities embedded in their experience through interviews and journal contributions. Conceptualisations of mapping (cartography) and territorialisation informed the analysis. We found that participants mainly engaged with the experience on a superficial level within the known territory. This reflects ‘soft global citizenship’ as participants were uncritical about their interactions with the host community. Voluntourist experiences have the potential to destabilise the self in a process of deterritorialisation, and we contend that this is where change occurs. We bring the philosophical theorising of Deleuze and Guattari and their notions of territorialisation and cartography to the field of tourism and argue that their geophilosophical ideas lead to fruitful insights around negotiating volunteer expectations, tribulations and potential transformations.
