Beyond Sun, Sand and Sea: The Emergent Tourism Programme in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Mass tourism began in the Caribbean in the 1960s with the advent of low cost air travel. Jamaica, Barbados, and the Bahamas were among the first places to develop a resort-based tourism programme. Within 20 years, these locations began to experience the problems that are now typically associated with unplanned growth. For emergent tourist destinations, these older islands can serve as a model of what not to do. One location that has taken some le…
Battlefield Pilgrims at Gettysburg National Military Park
Historic battlefields provoke broad range of responses from visitors. This article reports on the reasons people give visiting Gettysburg National Military Park and the perceptions and images they have of the park. The meanings that Gettysburg has people are varied and in some cases highly affective. The research provides empirical support the suggestion of other studies that sometimes battlefield visitors begin as tourists, but then are transfor…
Seeking Numinous Experiences in the Unremembered Past
While increasing numbers of people are visiting historical sites and museums, the reasons for those visits are not well understood. An exploratory survey concerning what Americans want from their visits to such sites discovered that many tourists are motivated by more than information- or pleasure-seeking. Some indicated a quest for a deeper experience at heritage sites and a desire to make a personal connection with the people and spirit of earl…
Reflections on the Nature of Cultural Distributions and the Units of Culture Problem
Does culture have clearly identifiable, distributionally stable parts sufficient to justify the particulate mode of understanding? Is culture composed of elemental units, or is it merely convenient to think this way? And, if culture does not consist of discrete parts, then what? This article suggests that the quest for natural “units of culture” is pretty much a doomed undertaking. There will be no periodic chart for culture grounded in stable, e…
Excursions into the Un-Remembered Past: What People Want from Visits to Historical Sites
CATHERINE M. CAMERON received her Ph.D. in 1982 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is an anthropologist specializing in tourism studies and expressive culture, particularly twentieth-century American experimental music. Since 1983, she has taught at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where she is an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences. For the past fifteen years, Dr. Cameron has been studyin…
Distributional Instability and the Units of Culture
The analytical approach is familiar, powerful, and compelling, but not all scientific understanding builds upon discrete elemental units and their combinatorics. The question this essay addresses is whether the analytical approach is appropriate for the study of human culture. Does culture have clearly identifiable, distributionally stable parts sufficient to justify the particulate mode of understanding? Is culture comprised of elemental units, …
The Authentic Interior: Questing Gemeinschaft in Post-Industrial Society
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a city whose economy was once based exclusively on steel production and heavy manufacture, is now developing its historical and cultural amenities and is marketing itself as a tourist destination. This paper explores the basis of the city's appeal to visitors with an examination of one of the major tourist events, the annual Christmas program. The research suggests that visitors are lured by Bethlehem's small town charm a…
Comparison of Job Satisfaction in Six New Jersey Fisheries: Implications for Management
New Jersey's marine fisheries exhibit unusual diversity within a small geographical area-contrasting in terms of prey species, gear size and type, trip duration, seasonality, regulatory policies, and income levels. One might expect these differences to engender different patterns of job satisfaction. Based on a survey of several hundred fishermen, the paper compares baymen, oystermen, sea clarnmers, scallopers, draggers, and longliners with respe…

Familiarity, Vocabulary Size, and Recognition Ability in Four Semantic Domains
Fifty-four American college students were asked to rank four domains (musical instruments, fabrics, trees, and hand tools) with respect to their familiarity with each and to rate their knowledge about the domains on a seven-point scale. Then they were asked to list all varieties of each domain they could think of in a free-recall task. Subsequently, they indicated which of the segregates appearing in their lists they could recognize if encountere…

Cooperation, Competition, and Synergy: Information-sharing groups among Southeast Alaskan salmon seiners
The salmon seine fishery of Southeast Alaska is a tightly regulated and very competitive commercial enterprise. Despite relations marked by competition, small groups of skippers cooperate with one another to the extent of sharing information as they scout for salmon just in advance of legal seine periods. This paper analyzes these voluntary action groups in terms of the role they play in helping skippers to discharge their most important responsi…
