“…Thereby these products make ethnicity a resource for tourism (Niskala and Ridanpää 2016), producing a kind of commercial ethnicity (Comaroff and Comaroff 2009) and causing handicrafts to become souvenirs (e.g. Graburn 1984;Gordon 1986;Markwick 2001;Hume 2009;Swanson and Timothy 2012). The paralleling adaption (Cohen 1993) of ethnic handicrafts is at times discussed as the essentialization of people's ethnicity, cultural appropriation and neo-colonialization (Niskala and Ridanpää 2016).…”

When ethnicity is said to be manifest and practised through handicrafts, these seemingly innocent objects become political. They raise questions concerning who can do what handicraft, who can use what symbols or what developments are "allowed". They illustrate the continuous production of ethnic norms and boundaries, especially when global tourism enters into the equation. Taking a social constructivist perspective, our study addresses ethnic boundaries and boundary-making in handicrafts in northern Sweden, Norway and Finland. Our findings are based on fieldwork (35 interviewees) with people of diverse local backgrounds making and selling handicrafts. Methodologically, we avoid preselecting people based on ethnicity, but instead contribute to an understanding of the constitutive processes of ethnicity by looking at how ethnic talk comes into conversations about handicrafts. Our findings demonstrate that the interviewees draw an ethnic divide between "Sámi"/"non-Sámi", while other ethnic-choices move to the background. This divide can be seen to be amplified by tourism. The boundary for who can make a Sámi handicraft or use Sámi symbols remains significant, yet also fluid. The article deepens the understanding of the Sámi/non-Sámi ethnic categorization, here in relation to handicrafts. It also helps unravel the complexities between tourism, ethnicities and handicrafts more broadly. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Inversamente, segundo Kotler e Keller (2006), a sequência de criação e entrega de valor tem início na seleção do valor, que se baseia na segmentação de clientes, foco no mercado e posicionamento da oferta (do destino turístico), prossegue com o processo de fornecimento do valor e, finalmente, com a comunicação do valor (imagem do destino). Contudo, cabe ressaltar que a oferta e o consumo de suvenires reforçam a orientação para o mercado turístico e possuem um representativo poder simbólico (BOURDIEU, 2011) associado ao destino visitado (FREIRE-MEDEIROS;CASTRO, 2007), por estar ligado a um valor hedônico e pouco utilitário (GORDON, 1986).…”

Desenvolvimento de produtos tradicionais artesanais e destinos turísticos regionais no contexto da indústria criativa 1 Traditional craft product development and regional tourist destinations in the creative industry contextDesarrollo de productos tradicionales artesanales y destinos turísticos regionales en contexto de la industria creativa http://dx.doi.org/10.18472/cvt.17n3.2017.1205 Gustavo Melo-Silva < gustavomelosilva@ufsj.edu.br > RESUMOAs atividades econômicas artesanais compõem um Sistema Produtivo Tradicional (SPT) no contexto das Indústrias Criativas e de um destino turístico. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi compreender a gestão de portfólio de produtos de SPTs de base artesanal têxtil e mineroartesanal, os quais estão conectados com destinos turísticos regionais. Estes SPTs lidam, por um lado, com a competição, gestão e produtos e, por outro lado, com uma realidade social de: tomada de decisão coletiva; necessidade de transparência; possibilidades de entendimentos entre interesses econômicos e sociais; e de emancipação dos moradores dos destinos analisados. Em cada SPT foi realizado um estudo multicaso, que compreendeu pesquisas e análises bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados mostram que a divisão do trabalho e a especialização são características do SPT contemporâneo e que essa configuração estrutural inibe a inovação no desenvolvimento de produtos para atender ao mercado turístico com suvenires.Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento Local.

In this sense, the objective was to understand the portfolio management of craft textile and craft mining products based TPSs, which are connected with regional tourist destinations. On one hand, these TPSs deal with competition, management and products and, on the other hand, with a social reality: collective decision making; need for transparency; possibilities of understanding economic and social interests; and the emancipation of the residents of the analyzed destinations. In each TPS, a multicase study was conducted, which included research and bibliographical and documental analysis. The results show that the division of labor and specialization is a feature of the TPS contemporary and that this structural configuration inhibits innovation in the development of products to meet touristic market with souvenirs.
