“…A multiplicity of other factors exist today, apart form religion, which justify the present vigour and strength of this route. In any case, this author endorses the notion that tourism is in one sense "sacred travel " (Graburn 1978;Shenav-Keller 1995).…”

“…In the recovery of cultural identity, and in the advocacy of new cultural identity, the role of tourism is as yet rather unfigured (Lanfant, 1995). We simply require much more informed scholarship into the dialectical movements and the countermovements of people as they travel between their dual worlds (or rather between their dual "locales") (Shenhav-Keller, 1995). And we require much more percipient scholarship of tourism as a "resource of hope" (after Raymond Williams: please refer to Wilson & Dissanayake, 1996) for consolidating populations where tourism production and tourism display both play central parts in processes involved in the conscious construction of group selfhood (see, for instance, Friedman, 1990, on the Ainu of Japan).…”

This article is the first of a pair of manuscripts based on the assumption that different diaspora constitute various sorts of imagined communities that each comprise a dispersed association of ethnically and/or culturally and/or historically connected populations. These imagined but spread peoples appear (on the surface) to exhibit-to various degrees-unified cross-national identifications, and tend to have experienced similar and often "difficult" heritages of displacement, travel, and migration, and are inclined to reflect like psychic and political dynamics of memory and self-celebration. This first article is further predicated on the view, however, that the very concept of the imagined diasporic network (in tourism studies and related fields) generally gives rise to troubled ideas about enforced flight, reluctant scattering, and dislocated wandering, and therefore demands rich and deep levels of interpretive perspicacity if the resultant conflictual identities and the involved indeterminacies of being are to be effectively mapped and deeply registered. It recognizes that these hard to decipher contingencies of identification are nigh impossible to read in clear-cut absolute terms of nature or agreed inheritance, for each diaspora tends to be typified by and through idiosyncratic and hybridized cultural forms.

“…The performers' comments lead me to consider the way authenticity is defined from their point of view (Shevan-Keller 1995). As others have argued before, the idea that objective criteria or standards of authenticity can be defined by 'experts' is rarely accepted today (Reisinger and Steiner 2006, 69); but we can try to set out the criteria used by various actors (here, performers, tourist entrepreneurs and tourists) to define authenticity.…”

“…The notion of authenticity has been discussed at length in tourism studies (Barthel-Bouchier 2001;Daniel 1996;Harkin 1995;Moscardo and Pearce 1999;Reisinger and Steiner 2006;Shevan-Keller 1995;Taylor 2001;Wang 1999). In this paper, I address the two approaches of dealing with the notion of authenticity evoked above.…”

Māori Culture on Stage: Authenticity and Identity in Tourist Interactions

Cultural tourism is often described as inciting visited populations to adapt elements of their culture to the visitors' tastes instead of displaying their real way of life or identity. Even when researchers adopt a constructivist approach to authenticity, they often assume that it is defined according to the criteria or expectations of the tourists. In this paper, I analyse three M aori cultural shows in New Zealand, and explore the way cultural authenticity is defined in tourist interactions. I review the arguments in favour of rejecting the opposition between 'inauthentic' staged culture and 'authentic' daily life. My study tends to indicate that if authenticity is better described as a social construction, the host society might be more active in this process than visitors.
