In such a place, how are ideas about authenticity implicated in creating and representing the self and cultural Others in the context of cultural tourism? To answer this question, the author examines four arenas of interaction between Trobriand Islanders and tourists: formal performances, informal village visits, souvenir shopping, and tourist photography. She employs symbolic/interpretive approaches and concepts drawn from economic anthropology to examine the relationship of tourism to the commoditization of culture, the ways in which local residents actively represent and enact "Trobriandness," and the ways tourists interpret and narrate their experience. 505 0 $a Ethnographic context : the place and the people -- Modernity and primitivity : definitions and discourses in imagining alterity -- Fixing the tourist gaze : essentializing the primitive and the creation of desire in textual and visual media -- Spectacular culture : performance and festivals -- Producing and consuming experience : commoditizing "real life" -- Producing and consuming things : material culture as meaningful object -- Tourist photography : prefiguring and postfiguring the touristic experience -- Cashing in on culture : the meaning of money in tourist-Trobriand transactions. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-260) and index. 650 0 $a Heritage tourism $z Trobriand Islands. $z Trobriand Islands. 650 0 $a Culture and tourism $z Trobriand Islands. $z Trobriand Islands. 650 0 $a Culture $x Economic aspects $z Trobriand Islands. $z Trobriand Islands. 650 0 $a Rites and ceremonies $z Trobriand Islands. $z Trobriand Islands. 651 0 $a Trobriand Islands (Papua New Guinea) $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a Culture and tourism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885097 650 7 $a Culture $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885064 650 7 $a Heritage tourism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955465 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Rites and ceremonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098216 651 7 $a Papua New Guinea $z Trobriand Islands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240625 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3BAFFA800D511E888826E0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
