Abstract

ABSTRACT This study sheds light on competitive lieux de memoire in the south-east of Slovenia that are directly related to significant social changes of the twentieth century. The aim is to evaluate the perceptions of influential domestic stakeholders, including experts and media, representing (different) perspectives of the transformation of sites of memory into national and transnational spaces of memory in the dark tourism context. We carried out 10 interviews and a qualitative inductive content analysis, and a subsequent qualitative deductive content analysis of 16 news media articles. Creating an Euler diagram, we compared real social and media-created reality and found inconsistencies: only three main categories are common. We found that development issues are highlighted within social reality, while the media mainly report on what was observed on the ground, at sites or events. Despite the polarised Slovenian post-socialist atmosphere, competitive memories gradually become multidirectional with the potential for the commodification of lieux de memoire within international dark tourism.

后社会主义黑暗旅游背景下的竞争性备忘录:斯洛文尼亚案例的探索性研究

摘要本研究揭示了斯洛文尼亚东南部与二十世纪重大社会变革直接相关的竞争性回忆录。其目的是评估包括专家和媒体在内的有影响力的国内利益攸关方对在黑暗的旅游背景下将记忆场所转变为国家和跨国记忆空间的看法。我们对16篇新闻媒体文章进行了10次访谈和定性归纳内容分析，并随后进行了定性演绎内容分析。在创建欧拉图时，我们比较了真实的社交和媒体创造的现实，发现了不一致之处：只有三个主要类别是常见的。我们发现，发展问题在社会现实中得到了强调，而媒体主要报道在实地、现场或活动中观察到的情况。尽管斯洛文尼亚的后社会主义氛围两极分化，但竞争记忆逐渐变得多向性，有可能在国际黑暗旅游中将回忆录商品化。

期刊介绍： Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change ( JTCC ) is a peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary and transnational journal. It focuses on critically examining the relationships, tensions, representations, conflicts and possibilities that exist between tourism/travel and culture/cultures in an increasingly complex global context. JTCC provides a forum for debate against the backdrop of local, regional, national and transnational understandings of identity and difference. Economic restructuring, recognitions of the cultural dimension of biodiversity and sustainable development, contests regarding the positive and negative impact of patterns of tourist behaviour on cultural diversity, and transcultural strivings - all provide an important focus for JTCC . Global capitalism, in its myriad forms engages with multiple ''ways of being'', generating new relationships, re-evaluating existing, and challenging ways of knowing and being. Tourists and the tourism industry continue to find inventive ways to commodify, transform, present/re-present and consume material culture. JTCC seeks to widen and deepen understandings of such changing relationships and stimulate critical debate by: -Adopting a multidisciplinary approach -Encouraging deep and critical approaches to policy and practice -Embracing an inclusive definition of culture -Focusing on the concept, processes and meanings of change -Encouraging trans-national/transcultural perspectives
