When heritage becomes a commodity, when culture is instrumental in
driving tourism, and when individuals assert ownership over either,
social, ideological, political, and economic motivations
intertwine. Bestowing value on "culture" is itself a culturally
rooted act, and the essays gathered in Culture and Value focus on
the motivations and value regimes people in particular times and
contexts have generated to enhance the visibility and prestige of
cultural practices, narratives, and artifacts. This collection of
essays by noted folklorist Regina F. Bendix, offers a personal
record of the unfolding scholarly debate regarding value in the
studies of tourism, heritage, and cultural property. Written over
the course of several decades, Bendix's case studies and
theoretical contributions chronicle the growing and transforming
ways in which ethnographic scholarship has observed social actors
generating value when carrying culture to market, enhancing value
in inventing protective and restorative regimes for culture, and
securing the potential for both in devising property rights.
Bendix's work makes a case for a reflexive awareness of the
changing scholarly paradigms that inform scholars' research
contributions.
