CALL FOR PAPERS
Imagineering the past: The (mis)uses of anthropology and archaeology
in tourism
ASA09 - Anthropological and archaeological imaginations: Past, present
and future
University of Bristol, UK, 6-9 April 2009
Organizer: Dr. Noel B. Salazar (University of Leuven)
In a bid to obtain a piece of the lucrative global tourism pie,
destinations worldwide are trying to play up their local
distinctiveness. This is sometimes done by borrowing from traditional
ethnology an ontological and essentialist vision of exotic cultures,
conceived as static entities with clearly defined characteristics.
Ideas of old-style colonial anthropology and archaeology –
objectifying, reifying, homogenizing, and naturalizing peoples – are
widely (mis)used in international tourism by individuals and
organizations staking claims of identity and cultural belonging on
imagined notions of place and locality. Ironically, this is happening
at a time when anthropologists and archaeologists alike prefer more
constructivist approaches to human heritage, taking it for granted
that cultures and societies were never passive, bounded and
homogeneous entities.
Of course, academic writings (often outdated ones) are only one source
of inspiration that shape tourism imaginaries of peoples and places,
but they are an underestimated and under-researched one. While there
is a growing literature on how fieldworkers engage with tourism, at
their research sites or on a theoretical level, there has been little
systematic investigation of how archaeological and anthropological
knowledge is (mis)used, à la carte, by tourism stakeholders to produce
easily sellable interpretations of heritage (and, in the process,
transforming local peoples' lives). This panel presents empirical case
studies that critically analyse which aspects of the two disciplines
are used in tourism to create nostalgic essentializing imagery of
so-called authentic traditions and cultures and what the ascribed and
self-identified roles and responsibilities of scholars are in these
processes.
