Abstract

Tourism plays a crucial role in delivering and constructing women's heritage values. However, the construction of women's heritage is often carried out in a gendered social and tourism context. Drawing on a critical gender perspective, this study examines how the women's heritage site is constructed in a Chinese context, and how the constructions are experienced by tourists. The heritage site of China's sole woman general, Qin Liangyu, is used as a case. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews and on-site observations, and thematic analysis was conducted. Findings indicate that the constructed heritage and tourism product emphasises Qin's military prowess as a general; however, its contribution to using this woman heritage tourism product towards gender equality is limited. The research highlights that a gender perspective of heritage construction and heritage tourism is needed in delivering the value of women's heritage for gender equality.

女将军是如何炼成的?将性别观点纳入妇女遗产地的建设中
旅游业在传递和构建妇女遗产价值方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,女性遗产的建构往往是在性别化的社会和旅游背景下进行的。本研究从批判性的性别视角出发,探讨了在中国背景下如何构建女性遗产地,以及游客如何体验这种构建。本研究以中国唯一的女将军秦良玉的遗址为案例。通过半结构式访谈和现场观察收集定性数据,并进行专题分析。研究结果表明,建构的遗产和旅游产品强调了秦良玉作为将军的军事才能;然而,它对利用这一女性遗产旅游产品实现性别平等的贡献是有限的。研究强调,需要从性别角度看待遗产建设和遗产旅游,以实现妇女遗产的性别平等价值。
