Brambuk living cultural centre

Brambuk living cultural centre The article examines the production of tourist space in relation to Brambuk, an Aboriginal cultural centre in Victoria, Australia. In doing so, it draws on Tim Edensor’s discussion of heterogeneous and enclavic spaces, and the narratives of staff and visitors at the cultural centre. The article demonstrates the positive outcomes of heterogeneous space and the limitations of enclavic space for indigenous people seeking to represent themselves within the tourist domain. This exploration produces critical commentary about a range of subjects, including Aboriginal involvement in cultural tourism and visitor responses to Aboriginal cultural centres, both of which are underresearched fields of inquiry. In addition, the significance of indigenous ownership to the representation of Aboriginality in the tourist domain is noted. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Tourist Studies: An International Journal SAGE

Abstract

The article examines the production of tourist space in relation to Brambuk, an Aboriginal cultural centre in Victoria, Australia. In doing so, it draws on Tim Edensor’s discussion of heterogeneous and enclavic spaces, and the narratives of staff and visitors at the cultural centre. The article demonstrates the positive outcomes of heterogeneous space and the limitations of enclavic space for indigenous people seeking to represent themselves within the tourist domain. This exploration produces critical commentary about a range of subjects, including Aboriginal involvement in cultural tourism and visitor responses to Aboriginal cultural centres, both of which are underresearched fields of inquiry. In addition, the significance of indigenous ownership to the representation of Aboriginality in the tourist domain is noted.
