The Touristified Gaze: From Cultural Tourism to Commodification of Culture
Hazel Andrews, Noel B. Salazar and Fabiola Mancinelli
How does what is local, singular, and symbolic for a community come to be a resource to be consumed by globetrotter tourists? The seminar begins with a panel discussion about how culture becomes a market product or, in other words, an inquiry into cultural commodification by the tourist industry, and how, despite this, the search for authenticity among tourists persists.
Participants: Hazel Andrews, Noel B. Salazar, Fabiola Mancinelli, Konstantina Zerva
