What is it and how to measure cultural tourism? A longitudinal study with time series for the Spanish case
2013
Por su poder diferenciador, y su débil contingencia a la moda el turismo cultural se ha convertido en un reto para los destinos. No solo dinamiza zonas de interior sino que es una manera para algunos destinos de salvar su patrimonio y crear empleos. Sin embargo, el concepto de turismo cultural es complejo y su delimitación y medición difíciles. En una primera parte teórica, este trabajo realiza una revisión conceptual del turismo cultural enfocando la dialéctica existente entre experiencia y autenticidad, y destacando después la diversidad de tipologías de turismo y de turista cultural. En la parte empírica, después de abordar la dificultad de medición, se presenta un estudio con series tem…
It’s More Fun in the Philippines? The Challenges of Tourism
2017
The Philippines have been in recent years a minor destination of international tourism flows, especially from Europe. Most visitors are Asians (Korea, Japan), Americans or Australians. This chapter examines some strengths of the Philippines in terms of tourism potentials (landscapes, undersea diving, cultural heritage), then its organizational and infrastructural weaknesses (transportation), as well as the lack of proper maintenance of tourism assets and the overcrowding of Boracay island, before examining the tourism policies of the national government (the successful “Its more fun in the Philippines” campaign, development of gambling, medical tourism and ecotourism). Four case studies in …
Open-air Conservation of Ruins and the Concept of “Non-Dislocation”
2012
Most of the on-going debate is about “how” to protect archaeological ruins, whilst at the same time allowing the general public to enjoy them. Today it is clear how important it is, from the actual planning stages of excavations, to interact with experts from other disciplines, who are working on their own findings and offering them up for collective enjoyment. Whatever might be feasible for an indoor museum is not always feasible with an architectonic ruin, as regards both presenting objects with explicative apparatus that determines their significance, and exploring them in a new way when interpretations change or new ideologies are introduced. First of all, conserving excavations is the …
EUROHERIT Policy Brief I: Increasing the Benefits and Transparency of the European Heritage Label
2018
The European Heritage Label (EHL) is the EU’s flagship heritage action. It focuses on promoting the European significance of the cultural heritage and a sense of belonging among the European citizenry. The nature of the action and its proclaimed aims in identity politics necessitate wide public engagement, openness, and transparency. Compared to the European Capital of Culture (ECOC) action and the UNESCO Heritage Lists, the EHL application process has poor transparency, as the applications of the labeled sites are not made public or accessible to other heritage professionals, managers, policymakers, researchers, or public audiences. To increase the transparency of the EU heritage policy in…
Visioni periferiche per una Baukultur di alta qualità nell'area mediterranea
2021
Il concetto di Baukultur di alta qualità è stato rilanciato per attuare un approccio olistico ai processi di produzione, manutenzione e trasformazione dell'ambiente costruito, obiettivo coerente con il Green Deal europeo. Passando dalla teoria alla realtà, gli aspetti metodologici possono essere letti come uno sviluppo delle principali basi teoriche di qualsiasi pratica tecnologica per meglio cogliere le specificità locali in particolare, nell'area mediterranea. Alcune esperienze di cooperazione transfrontaliera tra la Sicilia e il nord della Tunisia offrono l'occasione per approfondire l'argomento: che è facilmente riconoscibile nel patrimonio culturale materiale e immateriale e nel contes…
Lucullus en «clair-obscur»: mérites et extravagances d’un citoyen de la Rome républicaine durant l’époque impériale
2013
International audience; One of the most interesting figures of Roman history with respect to the construction of historical memory is L. Licinius Lucullus. Although remarkable for his military success and appreciated for his generosity towards the inhabitants of the provinces subject to the Romans, which dedicated to him some inscriptions that are monumenta in his memory, his tendency to excess and extravagance was significantly recorded in certain literary sources producing a distinctly chiaroscuro portrait. The evaluation of his conduct seems contradictory already in Cicero who tends to denigrate Lucullus in some harangues for his rapacity but later praises his military success when conve…

Polska kultura łowiecka jako niematerialne dziedzictwo kulturowe
2021
Pod koniec średniowiecza kultura łowiecka, czerpiąca z etosu rycerskiego, stała się ważnym składnikiem obyczajowości dworskiej, aby w następnych wiekach wpisać się w życie polskiego ziemiaństwa. Mimo wpływów zwłaszcza niemieckich, zachowała odrębność i narodowy charakter, które powodowały, że w czasach zaborów i II Rzeczypospolitej była jednym z czynników kształtujących świadomość narodową. Jej zasadnicze przejawy niszczono w czasach komunizmu, a mimo to przetrwała i została z sukcesem odbudowana w latach 90. XX w., stanowiąc źródło tożsamości wspólnotowej dla ponad 120 tys. myśliwych oraz członków ich rodzin. Polska kultura łowiecka obejmuje zasady etycznego postępowania względem przyrody,…
Identity politics of the promotional videos of the European Heritage Label
2019
During past decades, the EU has responded to a variety of ‘crises’ by promoting a common cultural heritage to advance European identity and belonging. This article analyses identity politics conducted in the framework of the EU’s flagship heritage action, the European Heritage Label. I borrow from ‘banal nationalism’ to scrutinise the usage of ‘we’ and ‘us’ in the promotional videos of the European Heritage Label sites as subject positions offered for identification in this heritage discourse. Analysis shows that the subject positions are constituted by an emphasis on the national level, preservation of the past for future generations and the key role of experts in the process of heritage. …
