Resumo

Ethnic tourism, a consummate form of 'collection,' presupposes processes of ob‐jectification that extend to 'culture' itself. Such processes are not simply imposed by the demands of the international tourism industry; actors include indigenous peoples who are both 'tourist objects' and reflective critics, whose cultural visions (and revisions) are shaped in part by a distinctive 'tourist gaze' and in part by a dialogue with the state. These processes are explored in the Toraja highlands of Sulawesi, Indonesia, where indigenous media (houses, effigies, and ceremonies) are being recomposed, using a range of new media, as obyek turis.
