Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to explore the role of authenticity in heritage festivals in Korea. It compares and critically evaluates the commodification of heritage festivals in Korea by investigating the tourists’, the performers’ (ethnic community) and the policy makers’ perceptions of authenticity based on comparative case studies and detailed empirical investigations of two contrasting heritage festivals in Korea. As one of the most debated issues in heritage tourism, authenticity has been an important topic of discussion. However, current authenticity research has been dominated by the naturalistic tradition with a strong emphasis on theory building. This study addresses the gap between conceptual and detailed empirical research in the area of authenticity. Therefore, this study identified stakeholders; visitors, performers and policy makers’ perception of authenticity in two comparative cultural heritage festival. The Baudeogi Festival in Anseong was selected as the first case study as it is representative of a commodified heritage festival. The Baudeogi Festival was started under deliberate government strategy in 2001 to promote local development. The second cases study, the Danoje Festival in Gangneung, was selected as representative of ancient forms of festivals. The Danoje festival is preserved and inherited from generation to generation for centuries by the local community and was registered as world intangible heritage by UNESCO in 2005. 800 visitor surveys were conducted with 17 interviews from festival performers and policymakers in both case festivals to identify their motivations for participating and their perceptions of authenticity. Several important findings emerged. Firstly, visitors’ characteristics at both festivals showed slight differences reflecting the character of the local area. Danoje visitors were younger than Baudeogi visitors while most Baudeogi visitors were with a family group whereas Danoje visitors also had a considerable number of friend/colleague groups. Regarding motivation, Baudeogi visitors generally showed stronger motivation than Danoje visitors about heritage festival visitation. The motivation to visit heritage festival were reduced through factor analysis to four each dimensions: cultural learning; escape/family togetherness; the need for authenticity; and enjoyment/socialisation factor at Baudeogi while enjoyment/novelty authenticity/cultural learning, family togetherness escape/socialisation were divers to those attending in the Danoje Festival. Secondly, authenticity was understood differently by stakeholders. Among visitors’ motivation, existential authenticity was identified as a strongest predictor for overall satisfaction from both festivals. Otherwise, performers and policy makers largely showed objective-related authenticity providers of the festival. However, there were tactical variations: performers and policy makers displayed existential authenticity as a means of engineering visitor satisfaction. Furthermore, the commodified Baudeogi festival was commonly perceived as staged authenticity (Cohen 1979) by visitors, where performers and local government viewed it as real in a staged setting whereas central and regional government perceived it as contrived authenticity, as a staged festival. In contrast, Gangneung Danoje Festival was perceived as an authentic experience by all levels of governments and by performers as real in a real setting, while it was perceived as denial of authenticity by visitors as staged festival. This result indicated that the perception of authenticity was identified as depending on personal judgement (Cohen 1988). Finally, through linear multiple regression analysis, visitors’ motivation and perception of authenticity was identified as an influence to visitors’ post-trip behaviours (satisfaction, recommendation and revisit). For the Danoje Festival, visitors’ perception of authenticity showed effective causal relationship to visitors’ intention of recommendation. Also, visitor satisfaction more strongly affected to intention of recommend and revisit.

Lehmkuhl, Iva Lee. "Authenticity in portrayals of Navajo culture at two heritage sites." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1537215.
Full textAbstract:
The degree of accuracy in portrayals of Navajo culture at Salmon Ruins Heritage Park and Rock Art Ranch was assessed by comparing the Navajo structures assembled at each site to archaeological, ethnographic and historical data for traditional Navajo construction practices. Comparison and analysis revealed different degrees of accuracy in the portrayal of features with cultural and functional importance. Authentic practices were presented in a historical framework to permit the temporal characterization of each site. The aggregate of the temporal data from features at both sites was consistent with Navajo sites of the early twentieth century. The results of this study suggest a bias in contemporary portrayals of Navajo culture favoring the most extensively documented, and the more recent, aspects of Navajo culture.

Chen, Fuwei. "Preservation, authenticity construction, and imagination of cultural heritage in Taipei." Thesis, State University of New York at Buffalo, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3640736.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation commences a critical examination of the issue of historical representation and draw on the fieldwork surrounding Bopiliao Historic District in Taipei to explore how the imagination and authentic sense of heritage influence the designation of historic sites and the way in which people use authenticity to negotiate their position in the progress of place making. The buildings cannot speak for themselves. Historical significance is not a given but something that needs to be interpreted and constantly reimagined. A sentimental yearning for a former time and place is not enough to explain the establishment of this historic district with twists and turns and the ambivalence over it expressed by the host community.
The first empirical chapter describes the historical background, preservation process, and the status quo of Bopiliao Old Street under the influence of the government-supported film Monga, which causes considerable controversy over heritage and culture representation and affects public image of the site and the host community. The second empirical chapter illustrates how an old urban neighborhood has been narrated, interpreted, and eventually certificated and accepted by the public as cultural heritage based on various social groups' heritage imagination and practice. The third empirical chapter examines how the stakeholders construct and employ the idea of authenticity to justify their viewpoint of cultural heritage and to strive for their position in the progress of place making.
My research seeks to contribute to the sociological literature on historic representation, heritage interpretation, and the construction of historical authenticity by exploring the increasingly central role played by media, activists and the locals. The tangible heritage is the production of the interaction between historic relics and the host community. Historical representation in the cinematographic media became a stimulus urging civil resistance to the existing official forms and strategy of historic preservation. Tourism continues to highlight the impact as well, for the opinions of the visiting tourists play an important role in reinforcing the image of destination. The contradiction in the sense of authenticity among social groups implies the existence of entirely different images of cultural heritage. The conflict represents the struggle of establishing local identity in contemporary Taiwan society. It is argued that the preserved heritage never denotes a successful end; rather, it is a start of the dialectical place-making process.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore and understand how locals and tourists perceive authenticity on a truly authentic heritage site. The empirical study was conducted with a sample of Scandinavians and South Africans that had or had not visited the heritage site in Cape Town, Republic of South Africa. The result indicated a correlation between authenticity and heritage experience. The most interesting finding was however when heritage was positioned somewhere else but the individuals' home countries. These findings provide insight into the ways tourists and locals perceive authenticity and the demand for heritage tourism and true authenticity, which highlights the importance of authenticity in tourism destinations.

This study explores various notions of authenticity in tourism experience and seeks to establish if these notions are compatible with the concept of authenticity in conservation of the built environment. Three wine farms in the Cape Winelands cultural landscape, a proposed serial World Heritage Site, have been studied. The study suggests that object-related or material authenticity is being replaced with alternative notions of authenticity in tourism and that the toured object, for the purpose of winelands tourism in the Western Cape during this period, no longer needs to be authentic.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the past, present, and potential future of the practice of
Heritage Conservation. Beginning with ancient Roman Architect, Vitruvius, this study
establishes a vocabulary for the ideals of preservation practice. Utilitas and venustas, as
two of the defining features of good architecture, are also key features to consider in the
stewardship of a historic building in active use. The data set used in this evaluation
comes from a symposium given in November 2004 by the Association for Preservation
Technology International (APT), the United States General Services Administration
(GSA), and the United States National Park Service (NPS). Historical background is
presented to give a context for the symposium, which includes foundations, policy, and
practice in the United States. The Venice Charter, National Historic Preservation Act,
NPS, and GSA have been chosen for the Literature Review to provide this background.
With utilitas and venustas as additional criteria for evaluation, the symposium case
studies were mined for examples of practice that could be used to make suggestions for
the future. Based on these examples and the possibilities for improving practice, this
study concludes that the United States should draft a new document outlining an updated philosophy and policy for preservation. Future research would serve to develop
refinements of existing frameworks and to create a new standard for "best practice".

Full textAbstract:
The Gaozhou area in Guangdong province has been recorded in history since the Qin (秦) dynasty. In these historical records, there are various kinds of traditional cultural practices passed from ancient times to modern days. Some of these practices represent the cultural tradition of southwestern Guangdong region and they are a combination of the Cantonese and Hakka cultural heritage. One of such combined Cantonese-Hakka heritage is Nianli, a most important festival taken by local people as the most important event in the year. However, few scholars pay attention to the Nianli Festival as an important representative cultural heritage. Hence, it is valuable to look the Nianli Festival and find out what are the intangible cultural values that make it so treasured by villagers that it is a widespread practice in southwestern Guangdong.
The scope of the research is about how the Nianli Festival could be considered as intangible cultural heritage. On this basis, we can discuss further about the authenticity and the core values that have to be considered when protecting the heritage. The focus is about the tradition of the Nianli（年例）Festival. Nianli is a traditional practice popular among southwestern Guangdong, and in this dissertation, the case is adopting a villages communities surrounding the Zaohu Temple（皂湖庙）.
The methodology of the research is by using cultural mapping to map the oral history and practice of villagers from the Zaohu Temple community about their Nianli Festival.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to acquire a deeper understanding of the relationship betweenheritage management, the tourism industry and perceptions of authenticity in the worldheritage site of Stone Town in Zanzibar, Tanzania. This is a case study within the field ofheritage studies with a focus on planning and the production of authenticity. In this study Iintend to shed light on the ideas and perceptions on authenticity that shapes the conservationand promotion of the world heritage of Stone Town. Furthermore I wish to examine how thetourists in Stone Town interact and relates to this imagery. This study contains number ofqualitative interviews with planners, heritage officials, policy-makers and tourists in StoneTown who gives their perspective on culture, history and perceptions on authenticity. Theconcept of authenticity will be discussed using a constructivistic approach in order to revealinherent power relations within Zanzibari interpretations on authenticity. One of the keyfindings in this study is that the focus on historic cosmopolitanism, which is seen as a majorpart of the Zanzibari heritage, is believed to be threatened by new influences from heritagetourism and immigration from East Africa. This results in a exclusionary policy-making andnarrow perspectives on Zanzibari culture.

Bailey, Chelsea. "Exploring narrative transportation in a literary heritage tourism context : the role and influence of authenticity." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2016. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/103279/.
Full textAbstract:
The primary focus of this thesis is the development of narrative transportation theory. Narrative transportation has been acknowledged as the immersive experience associated with reading for pleasure. This was later extended to include re-enactments (Escales, 2004), media (Green, Brock and Kaufman, 2004), education (Moyer-Guse, 2008), video games (Baranowski et al., 2008) and social media (Van Laer and De Ruyter, 2010). This discussion, whilst interesting, has failed to explore the full depth of application of the theory. As such, this thesis seeks to explore the conceptual breadth of the concept and offers support for an extension of the current conceptualisation. Insights from the well-developed field of authenticity will be used to enhance the discussion on and understanding of narrative transportation. Whilst there has been much discussion on the conceptualisation of authenticity (Pearce and Moscardo, 1985; Handler and Saxton, 1988; Bruner, 1994; Selwyn, 1996a, 1996b; Wang, 1999), there has been less exploration into visitor perceptions of authenticity and how the form of authenticity influences the visitor experience. The thesis seeks to explore narrative transportation and its conceptual breadth of application by investigating the motivations for visiting literary heritage sites and the interactions that occur amongst visitors. Specifically, the research focuses on the antecedents affecting participation, the resulting impact on engagement and the post-experience evaluation. The research adopts a case-study approach and utilises access at two literary attractions. One of these, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, is internationally known; the other, Sarehole Mill, is associated with J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The findings are informed by a two-year period of data collection, including an archival search, a document analysis, semi-structured interviews and small focus groups. The findings offer a full understanding of the variables that affect engagement and participation at literary heritage sites amongst a range of participants. The primary contributions of this study are to the development of narrative transportation theory. Narrative-transportation theory has been reconceptualised as cyclical – not linear, as previously suggested – and new elements have been identified, including a post-narrative-transportation effect. Several insights into the supporting theory of authenticity have also emerged; namely, elected authenticity, the role of costumed guides as a tangible hybrid, and a new perspective on the relationship between alienation and the search for the authentic. The development of the dual longitudinal focus-group approach offers a new development and dimension for discussion within the methodology literature. The relevance of these findings extends beyond the literary heritage setting to the wider tourism industry and service sector, where brand stories, identities and engagement with consumers are crucial.

Full textAbstract:
The research question addressed by this dissertation is: How is the tourist experience
formed and what constitutes the authenticity of the tourist experience for two market
segments (motivated and not motivated by learning) of tourists visiting (political) cultural
heritage sites in South Africa. The study explores the correlation between three types of
authenticity, namely objective, constructed and existential on two independent tourist
samples, motivated and not motivated by learning.
This research was initiated for three reasons. The first reason forms part of the research
problem; South African cultural experiences received the lowest ratings from the
international tourists despite the fact that culture and heritage play a role in reimaging
South Africa from Big 5 destination into ‘It’s possible’ and ‘Leave ordinary behind’. It was
suspected that not all types of cultural heritage products justify such a low ratings,
especially not the political cultural heritage sites South Africa is famous for. The second
reason emerged from the academic literature on authenticity theories and calls from the
influential group of postmodernist scholars to declare the objective authenticity obsolete
and replace it with the existential authenticity. The argument that; the hyperreal nature of
the postmodern experience and its detachment from reality makes the authenticity of the
site redundant, seemed inapt for cultural heritage sites exclusively dependent on their
historical and authentic values. The third reason was the inability of the postmodern
paradigm to explain the new tourism phenomenon driven by the tourists search for selfdevelopment
through authentic experiences. The new emerging paradigm, transmodernity
seemed to offer better theoretical framework in explaining the omnivorouessness of
tourists’ consumption and the authentic nature of tourist experiences.
The correlational character of the research question required a descriptive correlational
design and quantitative methodology. The selected research instrument for primary data
collection is a self–administered questionnaire. The sampling strategy is a non–probability
sampling, and the sampling method is a convenience or accidental sample. The data was
collected from November 2010 to February 2011 at the Constitutional Hill National
Heritage Site in Johannesburg. The final sample (436) consists of 254 foreign and 182
domestic tourists.
The questionnaire was designed to identify the variables pertinent to each type of
authenticity of tourists experience and of the resultant tourist experience. The data
analysis provided very interesting results. Firstly, the results of crosstabulation proved that
more than half (56%) of the tourists expressed strong agreement that the Constitution Hill
provided them with authentic experience, hence a proof that political heritage sites are not
responsible for the overall low experiential ratings of the country’s culture and heritage.
Secondly, the results of the Spearman’s correlation coefficient proved that objective
authenticity as an independent variable have strong positive correlation with constructed
and existential authenticity hence a proof that objective authenticity cannot be declared
obsolete and replaced with existential authenticity. Finally, the results of the t–test proved
that motivation for learning and place of birth do not play an important role in how tourist
evaluate and experience the authenticity of the site pointing to the omnivorous nature of
tourist consumption. In line with the transmodern paradigm, motivation for learning plays a
critical role in triggering the transformative, authentic experience distinctive of the
existential authenticity. The results of the study also showed that 32% of tourists are in
fact the purposeful, New Age, transmodern Cultural Creatives. Proposed theoretical
model of authenticity of tourists experience presents a theoretical platform for future
research studies.Thesis (M.A. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Esta tese de doutoramento tem como objetivo a discussão do uso do conceito de autenticidade na preservação do patrimônio edificado. Ao se observar o caráter eurocêntrico e o sentido tradicional, a ideia de autenticidade foi relativizada em razão de sua dimensão cultural, na atualidade. Um relativismo, no entanto, que poderia significar risco para a preservação da materialidade dos artefato s, tendo em vista o debate contemporâneo acerca do sentido imaterial da autenticidade. Ao supor que a autenticidade não pode ser reduzida ao substrato material do patrimônio, apesar de sua importância para a preservação de seus atributos, foram definidos dois estudos de caso, com vistas a elucidar a questão: os paradigmas de Ouro Preto e Brasília, ambos reconhecidos como patrimônio da humanidade. O primeiro, por enquadrar-se no sentido tradicional de autenticidade; o segundo, por envolver aspectos próprios da cultura material e imaterial.This doctoral thesis affirms the necessity to discuss the usage of the existing concept of authenticity in the built heritage preservation. By considering its Eurocentric character and traditional meaning, the idea of being authentic is presently utmost important due to the cultural dimension of this concept and its relativism. A relativism that could be risky to the artifacts materiality preservation, since the immaterial value of authenticity is becoming part of the contemporary debate. Supposing the authenticity can\'t be reduced to the material substrate of cultural heritage, despite of its importance to preserve the artifact\'s attributes, two study cases were selected to discuss and further examine the posed question: the paradigms of Ouro Preto and Brasilia, both sites nominated as World Heritage. The first one because it refers to the traditional meaning of authenticity, and the second in view of the fact that it involves the material and immaterial dimensions of the concept.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-412194.
Full textAbstract:
This study sought to analyze tourist perceptions of cultural heritage tourism on Easter Island, more specifically, how they perceived and valued the concept of ‘authenticity’ in representations of local Rapanui culture. By analyzing and categorizing trends found in Trip Advisor reviews left for 6 tourism businesses on the island (3 traditional performance venues and 3 guided tour companies), this primary research question was further broken down to assess 1) what factors in particular render an experience valuable and authentic to the tourist, 2) how tourists perceive indigenous Rapanui’s relationship to their own culture in the context of cultural tourism, and 3) if they perceive the industry as exploiting or empowering the Rapanui people. Ultimately the study uncovered the tendency for tourists to look to the transmitters of culture themselves (i.e. local performers, guides, company owners) when assessing the value and authenticity of their cultural experience, taking into account the transmitter’s indigenous heritage, cultural pride, knowledgeability, and openness and eagerness to share their culture with visitors (evident by the perceived passion with which they performed, or the personal storytelling and friendship evident in the guide-guest relationship). In addition to constructing value and authenticity, these qualities left visitors with the impression that local Rapanui are empowered by the industry and have agency over the manner in which their culture is showcased. The tourist’s search for meaning was also an important finding, as the majority either appreciated direct explanations about island culture and history, or created their own meaning when none was provided. While the scope of this study was limited to Easter Island, it has implications that may be applied to other destinations with indigenous, cultural tourism, as it very much speaks to the value that tourists place on cultural pride and preservation, community-based grassroots tourism, a desire for meaning and explanation, and consideration for the tourist’s own impact on the destination.

Full textAbstract:
A review of past literature has highlighted that the incorporation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) values in brand communications is difficult to get right. In particular, limited prior research has examined the evolving nature of CSR and how it is enacted within brand heritage and authenticity. In addressing this gap, this research examines the CSR reporting of two organisations and seeks to interpret how CSR initiatives are enacted within their individual brand heritage and authenticity. A programme of qualitative enquiry was adopted; initially 26 semi-structured interviews were designed to gain insight into the actual experience of a range of respondents of social responsibility ideas, messages and associations as they pertain to UK retailers. In phase two, a critical discourse analysis (CDA) proved an effective means to deconstruct the CSR reporting strategies that link to brand representations over an extensive time period for both UK brands. The findings from the study highlight how symbolic brand heritage references were significant in explaining brand-specific distinctions between CSR messages. High levels of brand-specific trust were linked to recollected memories for some consumers, but this contrasted with distrust by younger respondents. Notable findings from the CDA of Marks and Spencer reports were threefold, demonstrating: a) evidence of evolution in the nature and structure of CSR brand narratives; b) patterns showing strong interlinking of CSR reporting with components of brand heritage, (track record and core values); and c) attempts to create relational and experiential values that conjured forms of brand authenticity directed at stakeholders i.e. customers and employees. Conversely, for the Co-operative CDA offered a) less evidence of evolution in CSR brand narrative; b) limited patterns of interlinking of CSR reporting with elements of brand heritage in the early years, with stronger emergent patterns from the 2000s; and c) a formal reporting structure that offered a progressive evolution in CSR reporting but low evidence of brand authenticity. The study contributes to an increase in theoretical knowledge in the CSR and branding literature, and offers some original perspectives on the evolution of the producer narrative (central to CDA) of CSR messages over a lengthy time period (over 100 years). Methodologically, this study argues for the use of a CDA as an effective modus operandi to deconstruct the framing of CSR reporting strategies for organisations. From a marketer perspective, this study suggests that brand heritage and authenticity should be viewed more holistically– that it is perceived brand authenticity as it relates to CSR that may or may not be acknowledged by customers; and that the interpretation of brand authenticity may impact the degree of engagement with CSR messages.

The disillusion with modern praxis of heritage protection was felt even in the practical sphere. The use of chemical materials and industrial products belied the expectancy, so the search for the means of recourse from the modern contraposition of tradition and technology was started. The notion of historical socio-cultural setting was introduced into the discourse of heritage protection, while the concept of heritage was perceived in relation to authenticity in environment, landscape and workmanship. Contemporary conception of heritage protection has already been based on the turn to traditional praxis, which ensured historical continuity. The alternative way – protection of process authenticity, which enabled creative reception of heritage, was presented. One of the main aims of the study was to examine the impulses of postmodern heritage protection, to measure its relation to modern and traditional protection of the relicts in the comparative manner. Historical reconstruction revealed that from the antiquity to the development of modern heritage protection reception of heritage was rather performed in the creative way.

Son utilisation comme critère place les praticiens face à des difficultés concrètes les forçant à interroger, critiquer, et résoudre ce qui pour eux, fait l'authenticité de l'objet patrimonial qu'il soit monumental, tangible ou intangible. Une approche théorique intra- puis infra- patrimoniale permet de formuler, dans un système organisé, les controverses qu'ils soulèvent puis les réponses que d'autres disciplines apportent. Cette démarche aboutit à une catégorisation de différents « modes d'authentification ». Catégorisation, certes artificielle, mais qui permet d'offrir un outil et un vocabulaire pour distinguer les différentes manières d'envisager l'authenticité dans deux études de cas aux échelles diamétralement opposées : la valorisation de patrimoines indigènes hybrides dans la ville de Sucre en Bolivie, et la mise en œuvre de la liste du patrimoine mondial et la liste représentative du patrimoine immatériel de l'UNESCO. Les différentes manières de combiner ces authenticités témoignent de stratégies d'appropriation ou d'exclusion des patrimoines et de ceux qui les incarnent qui peuvent être décrites comme des jeux d'assemblages et de luttes. L'authentification n'est plus envisagée par les acteurs comme une étude d'experts dont le résultat est un arbitrage définitif, mais elle devient un processus en renouvellement constant dans lequel interviennent des acteurs de plus en plus diversifiésCentral to heritage, authenticity is an ambivalent notion. Its use as a criterion leads practitioners to face concrete difficulties forcing them to interrogate, criticize, andsolve the meanings embedded in the « authenticity of the heritage object », whether monumental, tangible or intangible. A theoretical approach, internal and external to the heritage field, allows to formulate through an organized system, the controversies they bring forward and the solutions other disciplines explore. Such an approach leads to suggesting different « authentication modes ». Despite its artificial nature, it offers a tool and vocabulary to distinguish between different ways to consider authenticity in two case-studies on diametrically opposed scales: the enhancement of hybrid indigenous heritage in the city of Sucre, Bolivia, and the implementation of the World Heritage List and of the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The different ways these authenticities are combined attest for different appropriation or exclusion strategies both of the heritage at stake and of those who embody it. These strategies may be described as an interplay leading to coalitions and struggles. Stake holders no longer consider authenticationas the study of experts resulting in a permanent arbitration, but see it as a constantly renewed process in which more and more diverse participants take action

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a análise e registro das construções históricas e contribuições culturais de uma colônia de imigrantes ainda desconhecida do meio acadêmico, com base no atual contexto de recuperação do patrimônio cultural. Considerando que este contexto constitui parte de um fenômeno contemporâneo de retomada da historicidade nas cidades e na arquitetura, com ênfase no pluralismo e diversidade cultural, a problemática do patrimônio bucovino reflete conflitos e questões bastante emblemáticas de nosso tempo. A noção de autenticidade das construções históricas torna-se essencial na preservação do patrimônio, diante da proliferação de réplicas e reconstruções e a preservação espetacularizada das mesmas, em que o restauro é atrelado ao consumo de massa do turismo cultural. A colônia alemã-bucovina no Paraná, cuja arquitetura peculiar contém importantes características para melhor se compreender a história, cultura e etnia da região, encontra-se em iminente extinção e é objeto de estudo representativo desta problemática. As cidades-gêmeas de Rio Negro (PR) e Mafra (SC) constituem-se como a única colônia oficial deste povo no Brasil, e os descendentes bucovinos vêm se organizando e retomando sua cultura e história, registrando suas memórias, adotando símbolos e eventos festivos. Sua arquitetura centenária, bastante representativa desta região, ainda é pouco identificada e valorizada, contando com apenas um exemplar restaurado e protegido legalmente. Através de registros fotográficos e levantamentos técnicos in loco, entrevistas e pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, procurou-se fazer um estudo da arquitetura bucovina, fornecendo suporte para uma possível conservação futura que mantenha íntegra sua autenticidade.The following research intends to analyze and register the historic buildings and cultural contributions of a settlement of immigrants yet relatively unknown in the academic milieu, based on the present context of recuperation of cultural heritage. Considering that this context is part of a contemporary phenomenon where the historicity of cities and architecture is regaining importance, with emphasis on pluralism and cultural diversity, the problematics of the Bukovinian heritage reflects emblematic conflicts and questions of our time. The notion of authenticity of historic buildings becomes essential in the preservation of our cultural heritage, in face of the multiplication of replicas and reconstructions, and the gradually widespread notion of spectacularized conservation, where restoration is linked to the mass consumption of cultural tourism. The german-bukovinian colony in the State of Paraná, whose peculiar architecture withholds important characteristics to better comprehend this region?s history, culture and ethnicity, is in imminent extinction and are an illustrative case study of this problem. The twin cities of Rio Negro (State of Paraná) and Mafra (State of Santa Catarina) constitute the sole settlement of these people in Brazil, where the descendents of bukovinians have been organizing themselves and revitalizing their culture and history, registering their memory, adopting symbols and festive events. Their centenary architecture, very representative of this region, is still insufficiently identified and valued, of which only one specimen has been restored and is legally protected. By means of photographic documentation and technical surveys on site, interviews and documental and bibliographic research, a study of bukovinian architecture in Brazil was achieved, supplying a solid basis for a possible future intervention on these sites, where its authenticity can be kept intact.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research has proven that perceived Brand Authenticity functions as a differentiator, which brands can use to stand out in today’s marketplace. However, few studies have investigated whether it is possible for brands to become more profitable by utilizing their authenticity. This thesis therefore investigates the relationship between the two branding concepts Brand Authenticity and Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE). An explanatory survey study is made on the Swedish retail clothing industry, which measures the effect of the Brand Authenticity associations Continuity, Originality, Trustworthiness, Genuineness, Heritage, and Symbolism on the CBBE outcomes (1) consumers’ willingness to pay a price premium, (2) recommend a brand, and (3) buy a brand before other brands. The results show that while some Brand Authenticity associations increase the CBBE outcomes, others seem to give no effect and some even to undermine them. If brand managers of authentic brands wish to increase their value sales through price premiums and increase volume sales through increased purchases, they should focus on communicating Symbolism, Originality and Genuineness. If decreased marketing costs through word of mouth is the goal, brand recommendations can be achieved through communicating Trustworthiness as well. However, Continuity and Heritage should be avoided in all brand communication if increased profits is the primarily goal.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour but de comprendre les stratégies de construction d’authenticité et les politiques de patrimoine culturel immatériel à partir de l’étude de deux pratiques culturelles reconnues actuellement comme patrimoine culturel immatériel : le fest-noz, présente dans les villes et campagnes de la région Bretagne, en France ; et le jongo, présente au sein des villes installées dans la vallée du fleuve Paraíba do Sul, dans la région Sudeste du Brésil. La démarche comparative présentée dans cette thèse résulte d’une double étude de cas, d’une part les rapports entre le fest-noz et l’authenticité en Bretagne, et d’autre part le jongo et l’authenticité afro-brésilienne. La thèse est structurée en trois parties. La première partie s’attache à comprendre le fest-noz et les questions de l’authenticité en Bretagne ; la deuxième partie met en lumière le jongo et la quête de l’authenticité afro-brésilienne ; la troisième partie est une analyse comparative des deux pratiques mais elle est également conclusive. Dans l’écriture ethnographique, les données de terrain ont été traitées dans une perspective bourdieusiennne. Par ailleurs, l’analyse des documents institutionnels - tels que les dossiers de patrimonialisation du fest-noz et du jongo, et les documents relatifs à la législation de l’UNESCO et du PCI en France et au Brésil – fût d’une importance cruciale. En outre, les entretiens avec les responsables des politiques de sauvegarde du fest-noz et du jongo et des politiques culturelles dans le domaine du PCI au Brésil et en France, m’ont permis d’affiner et de complexifier l’analyse des documents institutionnels. Cette thèse repose encore sur des données historiques contextuelles qui ont contribué à une meilleure compréhension des pratiques culturelles en questionThis thesis aims to understand the strategies (used in the representation of authenticity and the policies of intangible cultural heritage, based on the study of two cultural practices currently recognized as instances of intangible cultural heritage: fest-noz, present in the cities and countryside of Brittany, France; and jongo, present in the cities of the Paraíba do Sul river valley, located in the southeast region of Brazil. The comparative approach results from a double case study; on the one hand, the relations between fest-noz and authenticity in Brittany, and on the other hand, jongo and Afro-Brazilian authenticity. The thesis addresses three principle questions. First of all, an effort to understand fest-noz and how it shapes authenticity in Brittany; secondly, how jongo impacts the quest for Afro-Brazilian authenticity; and finally, a comparative analysis into both practices and the conclusions drawn from this approach. The field data collected from ethnographic writing archives were treated from a Bourdieu perspective. In addition, the analysis of institutional documents, including the heritage files of both fest-noz and jongo, and the documents relating to UNESCO and ICP legislation in France and Brazil, was of crucial importance. Furthermore, interviews with policy makers for the safeguarding of fest-noz and jongo and for cultural policies in the field of ICH in Brazil and France enabled a more nuanced elaboration of institutional documents. This thesis relies on contextual historical data that has contributed to a better understanding of the cultural practices in question

Full textAbstract:
Tourism has greatly increased world wide in recent decades, especially in China. Nature-dominated Scenic and Historic Interest Areas, representative of the Chinese philosophy of the 'oneness of nature and human beings', are the most popular tourism destinations in China. Tourism impacts in these areas have been receiving the attention of heritage landscape conservation. Management actions have largely been determined with an emphasis on natural values. This thesis maintains that values relating to nature are socially and culturally constructed, and that they dynamically change through history. By investigating the social and cultural structures underpinning values related to nature, a macro-history method has been applied to explore the traditional Chinese View of nature from traditional Chinese philosophies and landscape cultures. An instrumental case study method has been applied to explore the contemporary Chinese values of nature. The relationships between traditional values and contemporary values have been identified. It was found that the traditional Chinese values still have a profound influence today, although many aspects have been distorted. Historic high culture in natural areas has been replaced by mass tourism culture and Western values. The research also found that today's values are more socially and politically contested. It has been revealed that there are deep social, cultural, economic and political roots underlying heritage conservation management actions. Changing and contested values have been interpreted from these perspectives. The values inherent in the Chinese View of nature, such as holistic philosophical perspectives, sophisticated Chinese landscape languages, and evolving living landscapes, have been identified. The contributions of these values to relevant theories of environmental philosophy, cultural landscape, national park tourism and heritage conservation have been identified by this research. The implications for multi-cultural dialogues in heritage landscape conservation have been addressed.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie diskuterar hur kulturarv, i detta fall Friluftsmuseet Gamla Linköping, är uppbyggt och hur dess utformning gör att anspråk på historisk representation och autenticitet. De tre män som deltog som informanter i denna studie vet att Gamla Linköping är konstruerad genom omlokalisering av gamla byggnader till platsen, vilket skapar bilden av en liten stad i början av 1900-talet. Under intervjuerna med informanterna, frågade jag om de upplever Gamla Linköping som antingen ett museum eller en stadsdel - och svaret var komplex. I huvudsak ansåg informanterna att Gamla Linköping är ett levande samhälle som illustrerar det förflutna. Jag har genomfört denna studie genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och deltagande observationer på Adventsmarknaden i Gamla Linköping. Genom de deltagande observationerna på Adventsmarknaden blev det möjligt för informanterna att fortsätta reflektionen över vad och hur de uppfattar vara representativ och autentiskt i förhållande till Gamla Linköping miljön. Studien är indelad i fyra delar; Museum eller stadsdel?, Dåtiden i nutiden, Adventsmarknaden, Kulturarv - för vem?. I denna studie har jag diskuterat det faktum att alla kulturarv produceras av olika samtida maktcentra. Det innebär att kulturarv inte är något naturgivet objekt som i sig själv har ett värde – utan genom samtidens normer tillägnas vissa historiska kulturella uttryck värden och konstruerar subjektiva kulturarv.This study has discussed how cultural heritage, in this case the museum Old Linköping, is constructed and how its design makes claim to historical representation and authenticity. The three men who participated as informants in this study know that Old Linköping is constructed through the relocation of old buildings to the site, thus creating the image of a small town in the early 1900's. During the interviews with informants, I asked the question if they experience Old Linköping as either a museum or a district - and the answer was complex. In essence, the informants generally held view that Old Linköping will be a living community that illustrates the past. I have conducted this study through semi-structured interviews and participant observations on the Advent market in Old Linköping. Through participant observation in the Advent market, it became possible for the informants to continue to reflect on what and how they perceive to be representative and authentic in relation to the Old Linköping environment. The study is divided into four parts; Museum or district?, Past in the present, Advent Market, Heritage - for whom?. In this study, I have discussed the fact that all cultural heritages are produced by various contemporary centers of power. This means that cultural heritage is not something given by nature but by current standards are directed toward certain historical cultural expressions of values and constructs a subjective cultural heritage.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the ideological nexus of nationalism and heritage under the social conditions of neoliberalism. The investigation aims to demonstrate how neoliberal economics stimulate the irrationalism manifest in nationalist idealisation of the past. The institutionalisation of national heritage was originally a rational function of the modern state, symbolic of its political and cultural authority. With neoliberal erosion of the productive economy and public institutions, heritage and nostalgia proliferate today in all areas of social life. It is argued that this represents a social pathology linked to the neoliberal state's inability to construct a future-orientated national project. These conditions enhance the appeal of irrational nationalist and regionalist ideologies idealising the past as a source of cultural purity. Unable to achieve social cohesion, the neoliberal state promotes multiculturalism, encouraging minorities to embrace essentialist identity politics that parallel the nativism of right-wing nationalists and regionalists. This phenomenon is contextualised within the general crisis of progressive modernisation in Western societies that has accompanied neoliberalisation and globalisation. A new theory of activist heritage is advanced to describe autonomous, politicised heritage that appropriates forms and practices from the state heritage sector. Using this concept, the politics of irrational nationalism and regionalism are explored through fieldwork, including participant observation, interviews and photography. The interaction of state and activist heritage is considered at the Wewelsburg 1933-1945 Memorial Museum in Germany wherein neofascists have re-signified Nazi material culture, reactivating it within contemporary political narratives. The activist heritage of Israeli Zionism, Irish Republicanism and Ulster Loyalism is analysed through studies of museums, heritage centres, archaeological sites, exhibitions, monuments and historical re-enactments. These illustrate how activist heritage represents a political strategy within irrational ideologies that interpret the past as the ethical model for the future. This work contends that irrational nationalism fundamentally challenges the Enlightenment's assertion of reason over faith, and culture over nature, by superimposing pre-modern ideas upon the structure of modernity. An ideological product of the Enlightenment, the nation state remains the only political unit within which a rational command of time and space is possible, and thus the only viable basis for progressive modernity.

Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLEP072/document.
Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche entend aborder la question de l’authenticité à travers les pratiques de restauration liées au patrimoine architectural au Japon avec pour principal objet d’étude, des bâtiments traditionnels en bois en cours de restauration. Une des particularités des techniques relatives à la transmission de l’architecture au Japon est certainement le démontage périodique des édifices. Cette impermanence constructive tire ses origines de conditions climatiques difficiles, de spécificités liées à l’architecture en bois, ou encore de pratiques religieuses ancestrales, comme la reconstruction périodique de certains sanctuaires shintō. Dans la notion de « reconstruction », il y a l’idée de bâtir « à nouveau » ce qui a été détruit, de rétablir, de reproduire, de redonner une forme primitive à une structure ou à un édifice à partir d’éléments fragmentaires (vestiges, sources épigraphiques, etc.). Cela suppose la mise en présence d’un objet nouveau – à la matérialité inédite – avec l’idée de refaire « une fois encore » quelque chose qui a, jadis, eu une existence. Cette définition nous invite à considérer la possible coexistence de différentes pratiques et différents niveaux de reconstruction. La « reconstruction - restitution » est souvent invoquée pour retrouver des savoir-faire manquants. Pour de nombreux spécialistes, la pratique de la restauration par désassemblage (et, par la suite, de la reconstruction) agirait comme une synthèse de techniques et de théories apparentées à l’architecture traditionnelle. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier différents cas de bâtiments reconstruits et les pratiques qui les animentThis research addresses the issue of authenticity through restoration practices on Japanese architectural heritage and focuses mainly on traditional wooden buildings under restoration. One of the particularities of architectural practice in Japan is certainly the periodic dismantling of old buildings. The origins of this traditional practice stems from harsh climatic conditions, specificities related to wooden architecture, or ancient religious practices including the periodic reconstruction of some Shinto shrines. This “non-permanence” of buildings allows the transmission of forms and techniques through ages and time. With the concept of “reconstruction” comes the idea of building “once again” what was destroyed, as well as restoring, reproducing or restoring a primitive form, a structure or a building from fragmentary elements (vestiges, epigraphic sources, etc.). This presupposes the creation of a completely new object – with unprecedented materiality – that is triggered by the idea of making "once again" something that already existed. This definition of “reconstructing” invites us to consider a possible coexistence of different types of practices and standards of reconstruction. The act of “reconstruction - restitution” is often invoked to retrieve a missing “savoir-faire” (technical know-how). For many specialists, the practice of restoration by disassembling (prior to reconstructing) constitutes (or involves) the synthesis of techniques and theories related to traditional architecture. The aim of this research work is thus to study different cases of building reconstruction and type of practices that drive them

Full textAbstract:
L’enjeu d’un patrimoine est sa transmission : celle-ci entre dans la définition même du mot patrimoine. La conservation n’est qu’un moyen au service de la transmission. Or il peut arriver que conservation et transmission entrent en conflit, en particulier pour ce qu’on appelle les patrimoines vivants – non seulement au sens biologique du terme, mais tout ce qui est défini dans le temps : paysage, ville, patrimoine immatériel, et, d’une manière ou d’une autre, presque tous les patrimoines. Le vivant est changeant et même mortel. On peut essayer de conserver un patrimoine en le rendant le plus solide possible sans qu’il y ait besoin de personne pour le gérer : on le conserve, mais on ne le transmet pas à de nouveaux gestionnaires. À l’inverse, la transmission implique le plus souvent une transformation. A partir d’exemples de patrimoine paysagers (vignobles, fleuve, routes, rivière urbaine), cette recherche examine quelles transformations conservent ce que l’on veut transmettre d’un patrimoine vivantThe stake of heritage is its transmission (inheritance from one generation to another). Conservation is a mere tool for transmission. But it may happen that conservation and transmission are in conflict, especially for the so-called living heritage – not only in the biological sense of the word, but all that is defined within time : landscape, city, intangible heritage, and, more or less, any property of heritage value. Living material is changing and even mortal. One can try and conserve a property by making it as strong as possible, without needing anybody to manage it : it is conserved, but not transmitted to new managers. Conversely, transmission often implies a transformation. From examples of heritage landscapes (vineyards, large river, roads, urban river), this research examines which transformations conserve what is intended to be transmitted of a living heritage

Full textAbstract:
This research sought to analyze, based on the principles of Contemporary Diplomatic, elements and
characters that allow to guarantee the authenticity and the organicity in the photographic collections of
documentary heritage. For a long time the photographs were treated as documents belonging to
special files, as needed to be stored in different places than where the text documents were kept
considering its specific support, and received differentiated technical treatment from the other
documents. Due to this physical separation, the photographs did not receive a proper archival
treatment, becoming mere document accumulated masses, affecting their organic relations and
authenticity. Currently, with the facilities provided by the use of digital technologies, the situation of
photographic collections can be even more compromised. The photos are produced and disseminated
quickly in digital media, and can easily lose its identity, its origin, its organicity and all the information
that should remain linked to it, hurting its authenticity this way. The research was conducted under two
Federal Institute of Superior Education (UFAM and UFSM), where interviews were conducted with the
producers of photos and sent questionnaires to the central archives of the institutions, using e-sic, to
understand how to give the archival processing of photographs. This research is characterized as
exploratory, from the objective point of view and has qualitative and applied nature approach. The
organicity and authenticity nature of the photographs belonging to the archival document heritage are
closely linked to the treatment to be given to them throughout their life cycle. Therefore, the analysis
and discussion of the results was based on three axes considered fundamental to ensure the
authenticity and organicity of the photographic collections of cultural heritage: the maintenance of
chain of custody of digital photographs with the use of reliable systems to provide management and
the archival management of digital photos; the understanding of the specificity and complexity of
digital archival documents, aiming to propose performing procedures to properly handle photographs
as digital archival documents; the inclusion of photographs in the document management programs of
institutions according to Resolution 41, recently published by CONARQ. It was stated that the control
of the production of photographs, the correct storage, preservation of the characteristics of archival
documents, the adequacy of the classification plans to contemplate the photos, assigning codes to
photos while in production, carrying out elimination procedures based on the evaluation of documents
and the execution of all these procedures using archival management information systems that follow
the requirements of e-ARQ Brazil avoid the appearance of accumulated document mass and the
break-up of sets of documents, ensuring that photographs keep their organic relations, and remain
whole and authentic. The achievement of the objective of this research, made possible the formulation
of recommendations to ensure the authenticity and the organic in the collections of documentary
heritage, focused to photograph production sectors of the institutions and central archives that define
policies for these sectors. Please note that this research, a pioneer in its context, must be expanded in
order to include all issues related to the chain of custody and management of digital archival
documents associated to photography.Esta pesquisa procurou analisar, com base nos princípios da Diplomática Contemporânea, elementos e caracteres que viabilizem garantir a autenticidade e a organicidade nos acervos fotográficos do patrimônio documental. Por muito tempo as fotografias foram tratadas como documentos pertencentes aos arquivos especiais, já que necessitavam ser armazenadas em ambientes diferenciados dos locais onde eram guardados os documentos textuais, considerando suas especificidades de suporte, e recebiam tratamento técnico diferenciado dos demais documentos. Em decorrência dessa separação física, as fotografias não recebiam tratamento arquivístico adequado, tornando-se meras massas documentais acumuladas, afetando suas relações orgânicas e autenticidade. Atualmente, com as facilidades proporcionadas pelo uso das tecnologias digitais, a situação dos acervos fotográficos pode ficar ainda mais comprometida. As fotografias são produzidas e difundidas rapidamente em meio digital, podendo perder facilmente sua identidade, sua proveniência, sua organicidade e todas as informações que deveriam se manter vinculadas a ela, ferindo sua autenticidade. A pesquisa foi realizada no âmbito de duas Universidades Federais de Ensino Superior IFES (UFAM e UFSM), onde foram feitas entrevistas com os produtores das fotografias e enviados questionários aos arquivos centrais das instituições, via e-sic, visando compreender como se dá o tratamento arquivístico das fotografias. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como exploratória, do ponto de vista dos objetivos, possui abordagem qualitativa e natureza aplicada. A organicidade e a autenticidade das fotografias pertencentes ao patrimônio documental arquivístico estão intimamente ligadas ao tratamento que será dado a elas durante toda seu ciclo vital. Diante disso, a análise e discussão dos resultados foi pautada em três eixos considerados basilares para garantir a autenticidade e a organicidade dos acervos fotográficos do patrimônio cultural: a manutenção da cadeia de custódia das fotografias digitais com a utilização de sistemas confiáveis para proceder o gerenciamento e a gestão arquivística das fotografias digitais; a compreensão acerca das especificidade e complexidades dos documentos arquivísticos digitais, visando propor a realização de procedimentos para tratar adequadamente as fotografias como documentos arquivísticos digitais; a inserção das fotografias nos programas de gestão documental das instituições, de acordo com o que preconiza a Resolução 41, publicada recentemente pelo CONARQ. Concluiu-se que o controle da produção das fotografias, o correto armazenamento, a preservação das características dos documentos arquivísticos, a adequação dos planos de classificação visando contemplar as fotografias, a atribuição de códigos à fotografias já na sua produção, a realização de procedimentos de eliminação baseados na avaliação de documentos e a execução de todos esses procedimentos via Sistemas Informatizados de Gestão Arquivística que sigam os requisitos do e-ARQ Brasil evitam o surgimento de massas documentais acumuladas e o desmembramento dos conjuntos documentais, garantindo que as fotografias mantenham suas relações orgânicas, além de se manterem integras e autênticas. O atingimento do objetivo geral desta pesquisa, viabilizou a elaboração das recomendações para garantir a autenticidade e a organicidade nos acervos do patrimônio documental, voltada aos setores produtores de fotografias das instituições e arquivos centrais que emanam políticas para esses setores. Salienta-se que esta pesquisa, pioneira em seu contexto, deverá ser ampliada no sentido de contemplar todos os assuntos referentes à cadeia de custódia e gestão de documentos arquivísticos digitais no que tange a fotografia.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the use of famous historical or fictional persons in place branding. It seeks to analyze the images of places that are produced, and the representations of persons that are used in branding practices. Largely this use is located within a tourist discourse, begging the question how tourists take part in the shaping of these cities. In sum, the study aims to examine constructions of the past and the present, as well as representations of gender. The main question is which parts of the history of a city are described and which sites are highlighted. Four cases studies are presented. First, the uses of the heritage connected with author Selma Lagerlöf in and around Sunne are examined, in particular her former residence, Mårbacka, now musealized. Second, Uppsala's and Småland's uses of the Carl Linnaeus heritage are surveyed. Third, the uses of inventor Johan Petter Johansson in Enköping are studied, and fourth the tourist and heritage practices around fictional police detective Kurt Wallander in Ystad are examined. Taken at face value, these examples differ from each other in many ways. The aim of the dissertation is to track these differences, but also the likenesses in practices, meaning production and visualizations. In sum, the aim of this dissertation is to examine how the productions of meaning are influenced through the use of these individuals. How do visitors influence the production on these heritage sites? Is there room for change in descriptions of persons and places? How are ideas of authenticity produced when places are viewed through one individual? What ideas of gender and masculinity are produced?

Full textAbstract:
Cultural heritage confronts the notion of change, both in the development process and in the tourism context. In the tourism context, as being used as a unique selling point, it is unavoidable that cultural heritage facing commercialisation and commodification, or even vulgarisation due to being forced to change to meet the market demand and tourists’ expectations. Hence, the question is, if changing is inevitable, what are the potential risks that cultural heritage might face in the tourism context, and how to maintain its significance, which are attractions for tourists in the first place? The overall aim of the study was to use the notion of change as a lens to investigate the concept of authenticity as well as the relation between sustainability and resilience in culture. The study's objectives approached based on a qualitative method, with semi-structured interviews focusing on the perspective of the cultural heritage community – a group of people who work closely with cultural heritage - local community, practitioners, researchers, authorised agency, and tourism stakeholders. Concerning cultural heritage's interpretation based on its existing definition, the intertwined and interdependent relationship between the tangible and intangible aspects of cultural heritage was investigated. An authentication process was introduced. Resilience thinking in culture was given as proposals. In this study, a case study in Hue, Vietnam with two examples – Nhã nhạc (the court music) and áo dài (long dress or tunic) were examined regarding the notion of change in relation to the concept of authenticity, sustainability and resilience.

Full textAbstract:
Du projet urbain au musée à ciel ouvert, la ville oscille entre un besoin de modernisation et une volonté de préserver son patrimoine. À Strasbourg, l’ensemble urbain de la Neustadt illustre ces deux manières d’envisager la ville. Le terme même de « Neustadt », traduit littéralement par « ville nouvelle », résonne de manière singulière car il est porteur de ces deux modalités qui peuvent être perçues comme antagonistes. D’un côté, il se réfère à l’extension urbaine « moderne » planifiée en 1880. De l’autre, il correspond à la dénomination officielle utilisée pour valoriser ce patrimoine et concourir à son inscription sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco (juillet 2017). Dans ce contexte de patrimonialisation, la thèse vise d’une part, à déconstruire les faits qui ont conduit à ce changement de statut et d’autre part à étudier la place des habitants dans ce processus. Au-delà des représentations à l’égard de la Neustadt, les décisions vernaculaires des résidents sont particulièrement mises en exergue. À une échelle plus fine qu’est celui de l’immeuble de rapport, il s’agit de comprendre comment des pratiques patrimoniales hétérogènes cohabitent et s’articulentFrom urban project to open-air museum, the city oscillates between a need for modernization and a desire to preserve its heritage. In Strasbourg, the urban ensemble of Neustadt illustrates these two ways of looking at the city. The very term 'Neustadt', translated literally as 'new city', resonates in a singular way because it conveys both of these modalities, which can be perceived as antagonistic. On the one hand, it refers to the "modern" urban extension planned in 1880. On the other hand, it matches the official name used to promote this heritage and contribute to its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage list (July 2017). In this context of heritagization, the thesis aims to deconstruct the facts that have led to this change of status and to study the place of the inhabitants in this process. Beyond representations of the ‘Neustadt’, the vernacular decisions of residents are highlighted. At the smaller scale of the revenue house, it looks into how heterogeneous heritage practices coexist and combine

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the intersection between art historical theory and practice, and cultural heritage, where the revivals and mediations of the neoclassical Gustavian style have been used as a platform for further exploration. In relation to this, the use and changing meanings of the concepts authenticity and style have been examined. The research has a historiographical and multidisciplinary character, drawing on the fields of art history, critical heritage studies and design history. The study shows how the Gustavian style has been routinely used when Swedish culture has been staged, nationally and internationally, but also when shaping ideas of the ideal home and good taste. The focus is placed on three periods – the 1890s, the 1930s-40s and the 1990s – during which the Gustavian style was defined, revived and mediated in different modes of representation such as textbooks, exhibitions, period furniture and historically informed performances. In the study we meet the actors, human and non-human, that have contributed to the resilient position of the Gustavian style in the public consciousness and in a commercial context. The Gustavian style, perhaps like no other, has been systematically embraced by the official heritage institutions in Sweden, including the academic discipline of art history, which has been an important influence on the way the past has been presented, valued, categorised, preserved and re-used. The author argues that the style has been able to maintain its relevance due to its ability to embody many different prevailing aspects across the 20th century, for example tradition and modernity, nationalism and internationalism, but also the past, present and visions of retro-utopia.

Full textAbstract:
This interdisciplinary thesis belongs to Marie Antoinette studies. The contemporary dissonant commodification of the controversial historical character of the last Queen of France, detected at her former home, Petit Trianon, drives the course of the thesis research. Considering the complexity and controversy of the subject, the thesis seeks to make a contribution to extant scholarship by clarifying important modern history issues through a fresh approach: by using art history as an indicator in assessing the historical truth of the narrative of Petit Trianon, the residence identified as home to the last Queen of France. The thesis examines Petit Trianon and Marie Antoinette in the context of four major narratives - the historical, cinematic, architectural and heritage narratives - relevant to the contemporary heritage interpretation of Petit Trianon as well as its visitor perceptions. In addition to sourcing evidence for the arguments originating in art history information, the thesis relies on the data collection provided by a tailor-made survey for the topic, placing the results in the wider context of a hermeneutical interpretation of data found in either history or contemporary popular culture. The array of Marie Antoinette’s images detected by the analysis charts the commodification of this historical character at Petit Trianon: its production and consumption. It is through the assessment of this commodification that the present thesis reveals the misconceptions surrounding the historical character best known as Marie Antoinette. The thesis argues that the true role of the last Queen of France was successfully obscured through juxtaposition with her perception by the French collective memory. In other words, the perception of Marie Antoinette had subverted historical truth. Furthermore, the commodification of her historical character is perpetuated in an endless chain of representations fuelled by postmodern consumerism.

The Quebec City festivals of 1927 and 1928 represent a unique instance of close collaboration between prominent figures in Canadian musical and cultural history, John Murray Gibbon and Marius Barbeau. Based on Anglocentric concerns for a unique Canadian identity and corresponding school of composition, the festivals served as points of contact between many artists and performers, including Juliette Gauthier and Florence Glenn. An analysis of specific performances at the CPR festivals and over the course of Glenn and Gauthier’s respective careers showcase how racialized attitudes towards Indigenous populations, and the static conceptualization of French-Canadian folk culture were navigated to perform “Canadian folksong.”

What impact does the conversation between citizen, market and governance have on inherent meaning in cultural heritage? How does it manifest and unfold concerning values it presents in the given context of Slussen´s preservation and reconstruction? As cultural beings, what significance does these values have on democracy? The aim of this studie is to measure how the concept of cultural heritage is negotiated and established by the city of Stockholm, Skanska Sweden and relating practitioners towards the significance of democracy. This with the approach of archival studies from e-archive Stockholm and an analysis of records from Skanska Sweden in combination with an ethnological perspective. This conversation exposes that the representational democracy which city of Stockholm represents endangers its senior citizens with exclusion. The values that late modern society evokes is in discrepancy with which values Stockholm´s senior citizens stands up for, relating back to the aftermath from World war II. The results points out that Stockholms collective memory aims to wipe out values which the ladder stands for, acting within Slussens cultural heritageprocess.

La présente thèse s’intéresse à l’authenticité du mobilier français de l’époque classique selon trois axes de réflexion : interprétation, évaluation et préservation. Dans un premier temps, le sens du mot « authenticité » est exploré ainsi que sa portée dans le domaine de la conservation du patrimoine culturel, et ce corrélativement à l’évolution de la pratique de la restauration. À partir des réflexions engagées lors de la Conférence de Nara sur l’authenticité, tenue au Japon en 1994 dans le cadre de la Convention du patrimoine mondial, des critères d’évaluation de l’authenticité spécifiques au mobilier sont proposés. Ensuite, les caractéristiques esthétiques du mobilier français de l’époque classique et les techniques qui lui sont associées sont traitées. Une « procédure d’authentification » est proposée pour évaluer et préserver son authenticité. Enfin, quatre études de cas illustrent les idées développées ; l’authenticité de chacun de ces meubles est appréciée à l’aide des « critères d’évaluation » établisThis dissertation focuses on the authenticity of French furniture of the Classic period in regard to its interpretation, evaluation and preservation. The first part, theoretical, addresses the meaning of the word “authenticity” as well as its interpretation in the context of cultural heritage and looks into the history of conservation. Based on the exchanges carried out during the Nara Conference on Authenticity, held in Japan in 1994 in relation to the World Heritage Convention, specific evaluation criteria for furniture are suggested. The second part, technical, will review aesthetic features of French furniture of the Classic period as well as its associated techniques. An “authentication procedure” is proposed to evaluate and preserve authenticity. Four case studies allow, in the third part, to illustrate the ideas previously discussed; the authenticity of each of them is assessed from the “evaluation criteria” established

Abstract The research is based on the historic wooden town as a cultural heritage site and as an everyday environment for its inhabitants. A cultural environment takes shape in interaction with people living it. In the preservation of a historic town finding a continuing balance between change and permanence has nevertheless become a challenging issue. This research examines the opportunities that a historic wooden town has of continued prosperity, taking as a starting point the safeguarding of its cultural environment as a good living environment. Empirical cases are Old Porvoo and Old Raahe. The significance of a historic wooden town as a living environment is examined in relation to the objectives of a heritage conservation as viewed by the authorities. Urban planning documents and personal interviews provide the research material. These depict the significance of a wooden town both as a place for living and as a cultural heritage site. Based on the holistic concept of man, the human-environment relationship is seen as one in which the individual has a chance for complete personal participation inseparable from the environment. Being content with the environment, the individual feels affinity to the options afforded and can make good use of them relatively independently. It is historically characteristic of wooden towns to be formed in a close interaction between the individual and the environment and to conform to real-life situations of its inhabitants. According to this research, this characteristic is also highly appreciated by the current inhabitants. It can also be seen as an important factor that guarantees the continuity of both a good living environment and the cultural-historical significance of these towns. Thus, the cultural-historical value can be seen as relating to the characteristic change of the environment as an expression of the human-environment relationship. Instead of material authenticity, of primary importance is the authenticity of a way of living coherent with the environment, which gains meaning when compatibility between people and their environment is found. Nevertheless, as the inhabitants’ sense of the qualities of the environment deepens, the need for material change decreases. Maintenance of the cultural environment is best sustained by humane way of life, made possible as the human-environment relationship deepens into holistic participation. The holistic preservation of the built environment means taking care of the whole – the mutual relationship between the individual and the environment. As humane work progresses in dialogue, it favours the unique quality of individuals and their personal life situations as the impulses of a culture. Holistic preservation can be further promoted by widening the expertise of cultural heritage in issues concerning human welfare, by co-operation between various administrative organs and also by strengthening the local communalityTiivistelmä Tutkimusasetelma perustuu historialliseen puukaupunkiin kulttuurihistoriallisesti arvokkaana suojelukohteena ja asukkaidensa arkiympäristönä.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis analyses the continuously changing discourse of cultural diversity. The focus of this study is the ways in which this discourse is shaped within contemporary Swedish cultural politics in general, and how it unfolds and further changes through the specific activities performed by a cultural institution in Stockholm – Södra teatern. Where as the cultural diversity inspired cultural politics seems to be caught in the tension between defending the autonomous position of culture in society and arguing for the supposed positive integrative consequences of such a perspective the Södra teatern mirrors a similar complexity in their ways of performing cultural diversity. This complexity is expressed through the three aspects of cultural diversity the thesis analyses – the real, the good and the cool cultural diversity. Each of the three aspects expresses a search for authenticity as well as a resistance towards the very same notion; a belief in the enlightenment of knowledge at the same time as the content of the very same knowledge is questioned; and finally that ethnic differences some times is enforced through utterances that stresses tradition where as the supposed hybrid forms in other situations is celebrated. The three aspects of cultural diversity analysed here all express how cultural diversity works as a hyper complex concept within cultural policy where no single possible meaning erases other potential meanings. On the contrary: different and even contradictory meanings of the concept exist side by side. Thus the thesis argues that the discourse of cultural diversity expresses a hyper complex problem.Avhandlingen analyserer hvordan mangfoldsdiskursen formes på det kulturpolitiske området ved å studere hvordan denne formes i så vel Södra teaterns virksomhet som i den statlige kulturpolitikken. Mens den statlige mangfoldsorienterte kulturpolitikken preges av en spenning mellom på den ene siden å forsvare kulturens autonome stilling og på en andre siden å forsvare det man kan kalle for integrasjonspolitiske hensyn, så uttrykker Södra teaterns arbeid med kulturelt mangfold en lignende kompleksitet. Denne kompleksiteten uttrykks gjennom de tre ulike aspekter av den mangfoldsdiskursen avhandlingen analyserer – det ekte, det gode og det coole mangfoldet. De tre aspektene uttrykker hver for seg både en søken etter autentisitet og en motstand mot autentisitet; en opplysningstro så vel som en selvrefleksivitet i forhold til hva det opplyses om; og til slutt at etnisitetsforskjeller i visse situasjoner forsterkes gjennom ytringer som vektlegger tradisjon, mens andre ytringer snarere hyller det som oppfattes som hybride uttrykk. Disse tre delanalysene visere hvordan kulturelt mangfold fungerer som et hyperkomplekst begrep innenfor kulturpolitikken da tilsynelatende ulike og motsigelsesfulle tolkninger kan eksistere side ved side. Således argumenterer avhandlingen for at mangfoldsdiskursen uttrykker et hyperkomplekst problem.

In particular, it explores the effect of branded longevity on processing fluency and brand familiarity under various conditions. How do consumers react when a brand indicates its founding date on a package or advertisement? How do their reactions differ according to their level of involvement with the product or the congruence between the product category and branded longevity? This thesis identifies the psychological processes that occur during exposure to branded longevity in order to explain the effect of the longevity of the brand on the consumer. Branded longevity is argued to positively influence marketing variables, such as brand confidence and brand credibility. This thesis examines the psychological mechanisms that explain these effects. Processing fluency is considered as the theoretical framework that can explain these effects. Our model shows that processing fluency mediates the effect of branded longevity on brand familiarity. This model takes into account moderating effects such as product involvement and congruence

Ce travail de thèse consiste en l’élaboration d’une méthodologie d’étude de monuments historiques, appliquée au château de Chambord. Il s’agit de mettre en place le carnet de santé de l’édifice, et de le compléter par une expérimentation en laboratoire, afin de réaliser un diagnostic d’altération.Les archives historiques concernant le château ont été rassemblées et analysées pour concevoir des cartographies de dates de pose et de nature des pierres. L’examen in situ des façades a ensuite conduit à réaliser des cartographies d’altération. La synthèse des informations concernant le passé et le présent du monument a permis d’établir une liste des principaux facteurs environnementaux associés aux altérations, de même que la chronologie de leur développement, pour ainsi aboutir à une première estimation des cinétiques de progression.C’est la desquamation en plaques, détérioration courante du tuffeau, à la fois la plus dommageable et la plus complexe, qui a été ciblée pour le diagnostic d’altération. Les analyses physico-chimiques réalisées sur des prélèvements in situ ont conduit à l’identification systématique du gypse dans les fissures des desquamations. Des simulations expérimentales ont été mises en place pour appréhender le rôle du gypse, son mode de transport et son origine. La pollution atmosphérique mettant en oeuvre du SO2 gazeux reproduit bien la distribution du gypse telle que mesurée dans les desquamations en plaques observées au château de Chambord. Un mécanisme incluant ce phénomène a été proposé, pour expliquer le développement de cette altération, et qui pourrait être à la base des prévisions de l’évolution des altérations, afin d’envisager le futur du monumentThis thesis is dedicated to the establishment of a methodology to study the built cultural heritage, applied to the castle of Chambord. It consists in realizing the health record of the monument, and completing it by an experimental sequence in laboratory, in order to provide a diagnosis of the state of degradation.Historical archives about the castle were gathered and analysed to obtain mappings of dating and nature of stone. By mean of in situ observations, a mapping of degradation has been added. A synthesis of the information concerning the past and the present of the monument allowed establishing a list of the main factors associated to degradations and to a chronology of development of these degradations, so as to estimate their kinetics.Spalling, which is the most damaging and complex usual degradation, has been chosen as case of study for the diagnosis of degradation. The physic-chemical characterisations made on in situ coring lead to systematically found gypsum in spalling’s cracks. Various artificial ageing tests have been performed to enlighten the role of gypsum, its transport mode, and its origin. Atmospheric pollution including gaseous SO2 reproduces well the distribution of gypsum observed in spalling at Chambord. A global mechanism taking into account this phenomenon has been proposed to clarify the development of this degradation

Full textAbstract:
There are approximately 1300 completely or partially preserved medieval churches in Sweden. Many of these have remains of kalkmåleri (mural paintings at least partially created in lime) from the 12th throughout the 17th century. This dissertation discusses the enactments that formed the revival of this kalkmåleri between 1850 and 1980, with a focus on restoration and conservation. The decorative and monumental paintings that were created at the same time are also discussed. The study is divided into two sections: one concentrates on the mural paintings and the networks that made their (re-)enactment possible, and the second is a case study that examines kalkmåleri in four medieval churches; Vendel and Ed north of Stockholm, and Floda and Vadsbro south of Stockholm. To come close to the paintings, an eclectic methodology with analysis of written and depicted sources, interviews, and studies in situ of the paintings through mapping and analysis of taken samples was designed. The objectives were to investigate the formation of kalkmåleri as phenomena, significant concepts, and conservation practices throughout time and space. Theoretical inspiration was taken from Actor-Network-Theory, critical discourse analysis, and speculative realism. Throughout the study the kalkmåleri is thus seen to have agency. The weave of enactments stemming from different professions and thought collectives that formed the paintings was made visible by following the actors. Some of these enactments were analyzed: i.e. the aesthetic shaping of the room, as religious and iconographic images, historical documents, art, style, technical, or hybrid objects. The latter refers to conservation that did not entirely rely on science, humanist scholarship, craftsmanship, or artistic creativity. Thus conservation is seen as a hybrid activity. Three periods of conservation principles were explored: stylistic restoration, original conservation, and precautionary conservation, which were related to what was perceived as the authentic original. Furthermore some Swedish "traditions" are discussed: that no institute for technical studies of art was formed, the use of "Curman’s principles", restricted retouching from the 1960s onward, and the use of gomma pane for cleaning. Finally appendices are included containing terminology, an index of conservators, and a DVD with mapping, chemical analysis, and photographs.Forskningsfinansiärer: FoU-medel: Riksantikvarieämbetet, Brandförsäkringsverkets stiftelse för bebyggelsehistorisk forskning, Elna Bengtsssons fond och Tyréns stiftelse.

Tucson, Arizona is a site of a lively Polish-American community. Initially associated with a political organization ("Solidarity Tucson"), which actively supported the Solidarity Movement throughout the 1980s, the Polish diaspora has gradually transformed into an ethnic community very much focused on maintaining its distinctive heritage. Recent formation of the Polish folkloric dance group Lajkonik was directly stimulated by the local multicultural establishment, which promotes ethnic diversity in the Old Pueblo. Having become an integral part of the Southwestern society, Lajkonik has developed a collection of identity practices, which despite diverse influences continues to reproduce Polish cultural traits. In my ethnographic account, I examine ways, by which members of the Lajkonik group construct their diasporic identities. First, I focus on the core activities of the group, which include the practice of Polish traditions, learning folk dances and songs in a wide cultural context, and negotiating the speaking of Polish. Additional analyses, based on video recordings, of Polish classes and dance rehearsals, which show the actual mechanics of the production processes, as well as the narratives of the teacher and parent of performers, further support the account of the ethnographer. Secondly, I look into the development of Polishness for public consumption, which involves negotiation of multiple images in accordance with specific cultural events, creation of engaging stage programs, and presenting the essence of Polishness to festival audiences in Tucson. Regardless of the particular purpose of identities' productions, either for integrating community or public display, these processes simultaneously involve the quest for authenticity, building ethnic pride, and negotiations of diverse traditions.

In the recent years, tourism tends to go back to nature. The indigenous tribes just meet the needs of these visitors who prefer nature. More and more people go to visit the indigenous tribes. Traveling to tribes has become a popular activity. In the category of indigenous tourism, indigenous heritage is an indispensable element. The authenticity of indigenous heritage is quite important to indigenous tourism. Indigenous handicrafts are not only culture heritage but also tourist souvenirs. The manufacture and selling of these handicrafts influence the development of indigenous tourism. From the perspective of cultural representation, the indigenous heritage can be restored and renewed. The public’s attention to recall the memory of history through language, symbol, talking, description, explanation and transmission are obtained. Based on the following two factors, the research subject of the study is “Glass Bead” of Paiwan Tribe. However, there are less data about discussing the culture representation of Paiwan Tribe “Glass Bead” souvenirs. There are less research and data about different stakeholders’ perception of authenciticity on Paiwan Tribe “Glass Bead” souvenirs. The study adopts the mixed methods research to explore the “Glass Bead” souvenirs of Paiwan Tribe in Pintung county. In other words, the study takes the qualitative approach as the priority and the quantitative approach as the secondary.

Full textAbstract:
The link between heritage and hospitality dates back hundreds of years. However, there
are no firm rules that manage this old relationship. The research tackles the concept of ‘heritage
hospitality’ as a new concept; which represents a managed heritage-hospitality link through the
application of traditional heritage and traditional hospitality in hotels.
This study addresses the relationship between heritage and hospitality at selected hotels
in Siwa oasis in Egypt. Relationships between indigenous peoples and hotels, heritage and
hospitality, hotels and heritage tourism, the possibility of applying the ‘heritage hospitality’
concept and the present status of heritage application in Siwan hotels were explored to achieve
the research goal of providing a balance between commercialization and authenticity in
hospitality. Field observations, a questionnaire survey, key informant interviews, and a focus
group discussion were conducted in Siwa from October 2, 2010 to October 21, 2010.
The present status of heritage application in Siwan hotels has been documented in this
study. Although Siwa oasis is rich in both cultural and natural heritage, Siwan hotels utilize only
one aspect of the cultural heritage: tangible cultural heritage. Thus, Siwan hotel operators may
invest more in quality heritage presentation in order to contribute to the preservation of Siwan
heritage and to earn more money. Authenticity is important to the enhancement of the link
between heritage and hospitality. However, it is necessary to combine both old and modern
practices in a balanced approach. This research contributes to practice and to conceptual and
empirical understanding of heritage-hospitality nexus and, hopefully, will inspire more research
on balancing authenticity and commercialization in hotels, particularly in developing countries
like Egypt.
