The traditional wedding ceremonies are performed for the ethnic tourism industry in Lijiang, a World Heritage town in southwest China. This book examines how heritage interacts with social-cultural changes and how individuals perform and negotiate their identities through daily practices that include tourism, on the one hand, and the performance of ethnicity on the other. The wedding performances in Lijiang not only serve as a heritage 'product' but show how the heritage and tourism industry helps to shape people's values, dreams and expectations. This book also explores the rise of 'romantic consumerism' in contemporary China. Chinese dissatisfaction with the urban mundane leads to romanticized interests in practices and people deemed to be natural, ethnic, spiritual and aesthetic, and a search for tradition and authenticity. But what, exactly, are tradition and authenticity, and what happens to them when they are turned into performance? 410 0$aAsian heritages (Amsterdam, Netherlands) ;$v4. 606 $aSoziokultureller Wandel$2gnd 606 $aTourismus$2gnd 606 $aIdealisierung$2gnd 606 $aBrauchtum$2gnd 606 $aKulturerbe$2gnd 606 $aNationale Minderheit$2gnd 606 $aTradition (Philosophy)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01153957 606 $aHeritage tourism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00955465 606 $aTradition (Philosophy) 606 $aHeritage tourism$zChina 607 $aChina$2gnd 607 $aChina$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aChina. 610 $aCultural heritage. 610 $aethnic tourism. 610 $aperformance. 610 $aromantic consumption. 615 0$aSoziokultureller Wandel 615 0$aTourismus 615 0$aIdealisierung 615 0$aBrauchtum 615 0$aKulturerbe 615 0$aNationale Minderheit 615 0$aTradition (Philosophy) 615 0$aHeritage tourism. 615 0$aTradition (Philosophy) 615 0$aHeritage tourism 676 $a338.4/79151 700 $aZhu$b Yujie$01025165 712 02$aInternational Institute for Asian Studies. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996433049703316 996 $aHeritage and Romantic Consumption in China$92437184 997 $aUNISA
