Abstract

ABSTRACT In the mid-2010s, the media reported a series of disturbances at heritage sites caused by visitors taking nude self-photographs or selfies. In this article, nude selfies are analysed as a visual practice, and it is discussed what they reveal about visually structured tourist encounters with heritage sites. It is argued that nude heritage selfies continue the practice of old European art visually linking nudity, heritage, and tourism. In fact, many of the violations that the visitors taking such selfies are accused of are relevant for the whole practice of global tourism. Consequently, nude heritage selfies allow discussions of broader cultural and social problems related to global heritage tourism.

裸体自拍是一种视觉实践

摘要2010年代中期，媒体报道了一系列因游客自拍或裸照而引发的文化遗址骚乱事件。在这篇文章中，裸体自拍被分析为一种视觉实践，并讨论了它们在视觉结构上揭示了游客与遗产地的相遇。有人认为，裸体遗产自拍延续了欧洲古老艺术的做法，在视觉上将裸体、遗产和旅游联系在一起。事实上，自拍游客被指控的许多违规行为与全球旅游业的整个实践有关。因此，裸体遗产自拍可以讨论与全球遗产旅游相关的更广泛的文化和社会问题。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Heritage Tourism ( JHT ) is a peer-reviewed, international transdisciplinary journal. JHT focuses on exploring the many facets of one of the most notable and widespread types of tourism. Heritage tourism is among the very oldest forms of travel. Activities such as visits to sites of historical importance, including built environments and urban areas, rural and agricultural landscapes, natural regions, locations where historic events occurred and places where interesting and significant living cultures dominate are all forms of heritage tourism. As such, this form of tourism dominates the industry in many parts of the world and involves millions of people. During the past 20 years, the study of tourism has become highly fragmented and specialised into various theme areas, or concentrations. Within this context, heritage tourism is one of the most commonly investigated forms of tourism, and hundreds of scholars and industry workers are involved in researching its dynamics and concepts. This academic attention has resulted in the publication of hundreds of refereed articles in various scholarly media, yet, until now there has been no journal devoted specifically to heritage tourism; Journal of Heritage Tourism was launched to fill this gap. JHT seeks to critically examine all aspects of heritage tourism. Some of the topics to be explored within the context of heritage tourism will include colonial heritage, commodification, interpretation, urban renewal, religious tourism, genealogy, patriotism, nostalgia, folklore, power, funding, contested heritage, historic sites, identity, industrial heritage, marketing, conservation, ethnicity, education and indigenous heritage.
