Abstract

The book, by exploring diverse tourist practices and presenting a critique of dominant, reductive, ethnocentric theories, shows how tourism is a continually changing set of processes rather than a symbol of particular social characteristics. It looks at the varied ways in which tourist space is produced, represented, regulated and performed. The Taj Mahal is one of the most popular tourist sights in the world, a building which epitomises India, the ultimate icon of splendid extravagance and the world's greatest monument to love. This book presents for the first time an analysis of the narratives which surround the Taj Mahal. By recognising tourist sites as important symbolic locations for the articulation of identities, the author identifies the various stories about the Taj found in travel literature or told by tourists and guides. What emerges is a conflict between the qualities espoused by Western tourists, which the author locates as largely rooted in British colonial knowledge and contemporary and indigenous narratives which contest these ethnocentric dispositions.

Abstract

Destination Culture takes the reader on an eye-opening journey from ethnological artifacts to kitsch. Posing the question, "What does it mean to show?" Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett explores the agency of display in a variety of settings: museums, festivals, world's fairs, historical re-creations, memorials, and tourist attractions. She talks about how objects-and people-are made to "perform" their meaning for us by the very fact of being collected and exhibited, and about how specific techniques of display, not just the things shown, convey powerful messages. Her engaging analysis shows how museums compete with tourism in the production of "heritage." To make themselves profitable, museums are marketing themselves as tourist attractions. To make locations into destinations, tourism is staging the world as a museum of itself. Both promise to deliver heritage. Although heritage is marketed as something old, she argues that heritage is actually a new mode of cultural production that gives a second life to dying ways of life, economies, and places. The book concludes with a lively commentary on the "good taste/bad taste" debate in the ephemeral "museum of the life world," where everyone is a curator of sorts and the process of converting life into heritage begins.
