Requests:  0 Summary:  This book provides an anthropological analysis of the encounter between local residents and tourists in the Trobriand Islands, a place renowned in anthropology and represented in various media as "culturally authentic." In such a place, how are ideas about authenticity implicated in creating and representing the self and cultural Others in the context of cultural tourism? To answer this question, the author examines four arenas of interaction between Trobriand Islanders and tourists: formal performances, informal village visits, souvenir shopping, and tourist photography. She employs symbolic/interpretive approaches and concepts drawn from economic anthropology to examine the relationship of tourism to the commoditization of culture, the ways in which local residents actively represent and enact "Trobriandness," and the ways tourists interpret and narrate their experience.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 919.541 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 919.541 Ma Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 919.541 MacCar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 919.541 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
