Smoking Out Local Traditions? Identity and Heritage Production in Southeast Estonian Rural Tourism Enterprises
In this paper we explore the current process of the smoke sauna's transformation from a tradition into heritage in the context of rural tourism in Vru County, southeast Estonia. We examine the multiple meanings and values that the smoke carries from the tourism entrepreneur's perspective and the possible connections between the smoke sauna and personally interpreted cultural identity. Our theoretical approach handles heritage production as a sele…
Metaphorical analogies in approaches of Victor Turner and Erving Goffman
Metaphorical analogies have been popular in different forms of reasoning, theatre and drama analogy among them. From the semiotic perspective, theatre is a representation of reality. Characteristic to theatrical representation is the fact that for creating representations of reality it uses, to a great extent, the materiality and cultural codes that also constitute our everyday life; sometimes the means of representation are even iconically ident…

DOI: 10.3176/tr.2008.3.01 1. Introduction Memory has become one of buzzwords in today's humanities and social sciences. Concepts like 'collective memory' (Halbwachs 1950), 'lieux de memoire' (Nora 1989, 1996, 1998), 'cultural memory' (Bal et al. 1999), 'social memory' (Fentress and Wickham 1992, Misztal 2003), and many others catch our attention in titles of recently published books and articles, in tables of contents and lists of keywords. We ar…
Staging national identities in contemporary Estonian theatre and film
This paper focuses on the ways in which national identities are staged in recent film and theatre productions in Estonia. We want to complement the prevalent approaches to nationality (Anderson 1983; Gellner 1983; Bhabha 1990), where the role of theatre and film as modellers of national identity are undervalued. National identity is a complex term that presupposes some clarification, which we gave by describing its dynamics today; its relation to…
