Finding Heritage Through Fiction in Dracula Tourism
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartToumas Hovi
Helskinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia, 2016.Heritage and tourism have become inextricably linked. Depending on the view point, the effect of this link can be seen either negative or positive. Does tourism produce inauthentic and falsified tradition, threatening cultural heritage? Or does it, in fact, help to preserve heritage, culture and folklore in a changing and globalizing world? Tuomas Hovi investigates heritage in the context of Dracula tourism in Romania: tourists visiting places connected with either the fictional vampire Dracula or the historical Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, a 15th century Romanian ruler. How is Romanian heritage and culture presented and promoted through a seemingly superficial Dracula tourism based on Western popular fiction in Dracula tourism? Finding Heritage Through Fiction in Dracula Tourism offers new perspectives on the research literate concerning tourism and heritage, and a folkloristic view of tourism research. FF Communications No. 311 published by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.

The dedication and the author’s note suggest that it is a fictionalised re-telling of a diary kept by a Captain Tyarki. Whether this captain is an actual figure or a fictional persona is unclear.” (Auslit) This copy signed by the author to the title page.
