Abstract

In this article the purpose is to identify the dimensions of a research area: night tourism. This approach refers to practices, relationships, beliefs, consumptions and use of locations that are preferably dedicated to tourist activities after sunset. With this, it is addressed the relationship between darkness, material culture and a set of specific social experiences. This implies considering the night as a social agent that plays an active role in the construction and development of social interactions.
