Abstract

Pendant des milliers d’années, les groupes autochtones vivant sur les cinq continents ont créé et fréquenté des endroits spécifiques au sein de leur territoire pour y conduire des rituels ou communiquer avec les forces, les esprits ou les entités y résidant ou s’y manifestant. Aujourd’hui, plusieurs de ces lieux sont devenus des monuments ou des sites inscrits au registre des sites du Patrimoine mondial. Comment le caractère spirituel (voire sacré) ancestral associé à ces sites est-il souligné aujourd’hui ? Et comment les visiteurs qui les fréquentent peuvent-ils y percevoir ce caractère intrinsèque que l’on peut qualifier d’Esprit du Lieu ? La parole est ici donnée à des représentants de collectivités autochtones de Nouvelle-Zélande, d’Australie et du Canada qui abordent des façons variées révélant cette dimension matérielle et immatérielle liée à l’esprit du lieu des sites du Patrimoine mondial auquel leur histoire, leur culture et leur tradition les rattachent. Il en ressort la nécessité d’intégrer davantage les visions, philosophies et démarches autochtones dans la gestion et l’interprétation des sites du Patrimoine mondial, perspectives multiples dont on trouvera quelques aspects traités dans les textes qui forment ce volume. For thousands of years, indigenous groups on five continents have created and then frequented specific places to carry out rituals or undertake communication with the powers, entities, or spirits who reside at such places or pass through them. Since the 1970s, many of those places have become integral parts of Workd Heritage sites. How can the ancestral substance, the intrinsic sacred nature, of those heritage sites be expressed nowadays ? How can the visitors to those places find out about such a particular atmosphere or ambiance, that is about the “Spirit of Place” associated with the World Heritage sites ? Some representatives of indigenous peoples of New Zealand, Australia and Canada present in this book the idea of the spirit of place at World Heritage sites from the point of view of their unique cultures and traditions. The various texts given here clearly draw attention to new philosophies and approaches aiming at improving the integration of aboriginal spirit of place in the management and interpretation of World Heritage sites.

Abstract

Focusing on the future of tourism, Sustainable Tourism Dialogues in Africa is inclusive of experienced and emerging researchers, as well as incorporating local stakeholders in the tourism industry: architects, tourism operators, sustainable tourism lobbyists, policy makers, archaeologists, and geographers. The editors are frontline sustainable tourism advocates in Africa, and the book’s thematic content is derived from 30 inter-university seminars on sustainable tourism hosted by Sustainable Travel & Tourism Agenda Kenya from 2017 to November 2019. These seminars involved the participation of 17 universities in Kenya, tourism operators, conservationists, developmentalists, investors, policy makers, and students.Every chapter is a voice projecting aspirations for the responsible management of tourism in Africa and promoting the ideals of sustainable tourism that young people in Africa advocate for the industry’s future. In so doing, the authors pinpoint the necessary actions for bringing about transformations in sustainable development of tourism. The book thus seeks to encourage debate, while facilitating the development of both theoretical and practical foundations for managing tourism sustainably in Africa.
