Beskrivning

This book examines the complexities and dynamics in the relationship between intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and tourism, taking as a focus the ICH at the World Cultural Heritage site in Lijiang, China. It explores the tensions between the protection of authenticity of ICH and the use of ICH in tourism commodification, and considers the perspectives of governmental officials, experts, local ICH practitioners and community members. The volume aims to redefine the concepts of authenticity, integrity and continuity from the perspective of the ICH practitioners and to provide theoretical guidelines for developing a sustainable ICH tourism using a people-based approach. It will be a helpful resource for students, researchers and practitioners in heritage studies, tourism, anthropology, cultural management and Chinese studies.

Recensioner i media

This fascinating study explores a minority population seeking to retain its identity, values and culture while performing their 'otherness' for millions of visitors annually and in a situation of unbalanced relations of power. Su’s insightful analysis of tensions between national and international ICH discourses and policies and the locals’ 'practitioner ICH making' will prompt readers to consider heritage tourism discordances elsewhere.
