Isi artikel

This article reflects on the author's cultural tourism experiences in South Africa in an attempt to contribute to debates concerning the academic's relationship to the tourist. Drawing on the contributions of anthropologists that have dealt with the subject before, the article takes a more general approach to add to the discussion. Goffman's notion of the outsider, as developed byMacCannell, is extended as a possible explanation of the traits shared byacademics who studycultural tourism and the tourists who visit cultural tourism sites. In doing so, the article expands on distinctions and similarities alreadycovered in the literature and adds a different perspective to the notion that the respective gazes of academics and tourists might share certain qualities.
