Description
Original program notes: Seeing Us as You Would Like Us to Be: Tourism and Encounters with Others Sat March 7 4PM | 1992 Dean MacCannell, Hartman Lomawaima & Janeen Antoine For survival, many Native artists are forced to manufacture works for the tastes of an ever increasing tourist trade. What is the relation of these goods to works produced in a tribal context? How has the modern market of museums, collectors, and tourists effected how Indians represent themselves? Given the tendency of modern and post-modern culture to consume and appropriate other cultures in the name of the authentic and the exotic, how do Native cultures maintain their integrity in presenting themselves? Dean MacCannell is a sociologist who teaches in the Department of Behavioral Sciences at UC Davis. He is author of The Tourist: A New Theory of the Leisure Class, and Empty Meeting Ground: The Tourist Papers, which will be coming out this spring. Hartman Lomawaima, Hopi, has worked professionally in the museum field since 1980. Currently he teaches at the University of Washington and works as a consultant for the National Museum of the American Indian, part of the Smithsonian Institution. Janeen Antoine, Lakota, is Director of the American Indian Contemporary Art Gallery in San Francisco and will moderate the discussion.
