ABSTRACT

This study was to introduce the characteristics of Edward Burner's anthropology of tourism in terms of its theory, methods and empirical domains of studies. It also explored the legacies that Edward Bruner left in the field of the anthropology of tourism. In oder to achieve the research purposes, Edward Bruner's anthropological writings on contemporary tourism and the follow up studies that cited his works were closely scrutinized. An in-depth interview with Edward Bruner was also performed. Results showed that his constructive perspective on the authenticity as well as his conceptualization of tourist' questioning gaze, and in particular, his ethnographic and comparative methods left significant legacies in understanding the representation and consumption process of traditional rituals and arts as tourism performances. Bruner's studies on the anthropology of tourism also provides practical implications in a successful production and marketing of a tourism performance.
