This special issue of Ethnologia Europaea focuses on tour guides as
cultural mediators. It opens with a discussion of tour guiding in
the anthropology of tourism by Jackie Feldman and Jonathan Skinner
and consideration of how tour guiding should be seen as imaginative
and performative practice. This is illustrated by a highly
international and comparative collection by leading anthropologists
and ethnologists, many of whom have guiding experience themselves:
Valerio Simoni on intimacy, informality and sexuality in guiding
relations in Cuba; David Picard on modern guiding and traditional
values in La Reunion; Jackie Feldman on Jewish-Israelis guiding
Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land; Amos Ron and Yotam Lurie on
the intimacy and trust in guide -- tourist relations in Israel;
Annelou Ypeij, Eva Krah and Floor van der Hout on the impact of
gender on guide -- local relations in Peru; Irit Dekel on the
manipulation of the past and the present in home museums in
Germany; Jonathan Skinner on the imagination and props involved in
the re-animation of heritage in a historical fantasy home in the
UK. The issue ends with discussion commentaries from Noel Salazar
and Erik Cohen that reiterate tour guiding as a particularly
temporal and physical mediating pursuit, one which raises critical
questions as to the future mechanics of tour guiding and how a
performative approach to guiding engages with authenticity and new
technologies.
