“…Malgré sa date de publication relativement ancienne, l'article de MacCannell est encore largement cité (McIntosh et Prentice, 1999 ;Michaud, 2001 ;Reisinger et Steiner, 2006 ;Wang, 1999). En particulier, la dichotomie proposée par MacCannell entre cultures ou identités vécues et cultures ou identités mises en scène eut une certaine postérité (Michel, 2006 : 60-61 ;Silver, 1993 ;Urbanowicz, 1989 : 113). Cette opposition est en outre restée associée aux débats portant sur le concept d'authenticité.…”

“…De son point de vue, le chercheur serait en mesure de discerner l'authentique de l'inauthentique (Wang, 1999 : 68-69), une position que peu de chercheurs défendraient aujourd'hui. Le concept d'authenticité a été largement discuté par les travaux portant sur le tourisme (Cole, 2007 ;McIntosh et Prentice, 1999 ;Reisinger et Steiner, 2006 ;Silver, 1993 ;Wang, 1999), et la plupart des auteurs s'accordent désormais à dire qu'il est impossible de trancher la question de l'authenticité d'un point de vue académique ou que cette question est vide de sens (Cole, 2007 : 943 ;Wang, 1999 : 354-355). Certains ont même proposé de bannir l'emploi de ce concept (Reisinger et Steiner, 2006 : 81) ou de déplacer l'étude de l'impact socioculturel du tourisme vers d'autres thèmes de recherche (Cole, 2007 : 956).…”

Depuis les travaux de MacCannell (1973), un grand nombre de recherches ont souligné que certains touristes sont motivés par une quête d’« authenticité ». Cette dernière, pensent-ils, peut être atteinte en se mêlant aux populations autochtones des lieux visités. Cet article montre, à travers un cas d’étude tongien, que la participation commune d’autochtones et de touristes à une même activité ne suscite pas nécessairement un sentiment d’authenticité chez ces derniers. Les matériaux appuyant cette réflexion ont été recueillis lors d’enquêtes de terrain menées à Tonga, en Polynésie occidentale. Cet archipel, maintenu relativement à l’écart des grandes routes touristiques, est une destination prisée par les touristes désireux de rencontrer les populations locales. Les performances de danses proposées dans divers hôtels sont l’une des occasions, pour les touristes, de participer à une activité commune avec les Tongiens, ces derniers étant également spectateurs de ces représentations. La présence d’autochtones, pourtant recherchée par les touristes dans leur quête d’authenticité, est susceptible d’engendrer plus de malaise et de confusion que de satisfaction.

“…These visual representations of Māori people gave manuhiri a preconceived idea of the types of images to be encountered and had the propensity to be profit driven. Silver (1993) maintains that these marketed depictions of culture can be one-dimensional effectively creating stereotypes of indigenous people. As described by Ateljevic and Doorne (2002, p656) Māori were -exploited for their exotic allure‖ in these types of images.…”

The main focus of this article will discuss mana-ā-kī(tanga) and the tourism industry in Aotearoa (New Zealand). It will specifically investigate the interpretation of mana-ā-kī(tanga). Mana-ā-kī(tanga) does not discriminate between people and it is a selfless and unconditional act, with no preconceived expectations. I learned that mana-ā-kī(tanga) could be shared, not only amongst whānau (family) but also with manuhiri (visitor), including those from overseas. It is no wonder therefore that the term mana-ā-kī(tanga) is embraced and promoted within Aotearoa, to manuhiri from foreign shores. The term mana-ā-kī(tanga) is widely understood in the tourism industry as hospitality and reciprocity. Hence, possible misinterpretation of mana-ā-kī(tanga) could result in this concept being used incorrectly and lead to the transgression of cultural practices, thus compromising the experiences offered by Māori tourism operators. Throughout this article there is a deliberate emphasis on the spelling of mana-ā-kī(tanga) to show the importance of mana-ā-kī (respect earned from the recognition of others). Thus, the spelling in the English alphabet of manaakitanga and manaaki is used intermittently. OriginsThe origins of the word mana-ā-kī and mana-ā-ki(tanga) derive from the word mana. Mana-aki can be interpreted as mana which derives from a person's ability to care for manuhiri. Akiaki, upon further analysis of mana-aki, is described by Williams (1975) as urge on. Hence, within this context, encouraging the support of manuhiri is fundamental in understanding manaaki. The use of the suffix -tanga in manaakitanga changes a verb to a noun. As outlined by Moorfield (2005), -tanga is a suffix that is added to a noun to

“…This notion is thus relative, negotiable [10], contextually determined [11] and even ideological [12]. Existential authenticity, in terms of Existentialism or common sense, denotes a special state of Being in which one is true to oneself.…”

In this article, three Guangdong's ancestral temples are taken as case studies to explore strategies for cultural heritage conservation. Heritage conservation is very important not only for our missing of past, but in order that our own cultural identity can be formed today. In China, different stakeholders hold various views on heritage protection and conflicts often take place. Particularly, many folk religion's cultural heritages face a dangerous scenario and could even be damaged or destroyed for a variety of "reason". This article tries to re-examine fundamental values and assessment criteria for cultural heritage conservation. The authenticity is a core concept involved with those of issues. Based on the views of culture place, the author puts forward the concept of "emic culture authenticity" as a hinge to explore authentic culture ecology of heritage and its model, to facilitate the cultural heritage conservation and reuse by the strategies of classification and adaptation.
