本期特刊探讨了在遗产旅游的开发和实践中如何以及为什么会出现冲突。从纽约市的世贸中心遗址和墨西哥尤卡坦的Chichen Itza考古遗址，到宾夕法尼亚州的地下铁路遗址和马萨诸塞州的一个后工业城镇，这四篇文章的作者关注的是，在试图获得和指导遗产资源开发的过程中，利益相关者之间往往存在重叠的利益。这个问题源于2003年在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的美国人类学协会第102届年会上举行的题为“解决遗产旅游中的冲突：公共利益人类学方法”的研讨会，该会议由宾夕法尼亚大学的Peggy Reeves Sanday博士、Noel Salazar博士和Benjamin Porter组织。研讨会鼓励学者们在正式和“自上而下”的定义之外考虑遗产，以及如何将一种新兴的方法论方法--公共利益人类学1应用于遗产冲突的分析。本导言将遗产、旅游、冲突和公共利益等问题的关键主题置于焦点，并通过现代约旦的一个简短案例研究说明了它们的交集。在此之后，讨论了随后的四篇文章，重点是它们对这一问题主题的贡献。遗产和遗产旅游是本杂志读者长期以来熟悉的术语，我们在这里的目的不是重述其他人所描述的内容，2特别是，我们分析了物体、遗址和做法在被置于遗产领域之前所经历的重估过程。此外，我们还解释了为什么旅游业是调查遗产的理想领域，以及为什么围绕遗产旅游爆发的冲突特别不稳定。
This special issue explores how and why conflicts arise in the development and practice of heritage tourism. From New York City’s Ground Zero and the archaeological site of Chichen Itza in Yucatan, Mexico, to an Underground Railroad site in Pennsylvania and a post-industrial Massachusetts town, the authors of these four articles are concerned with identifying the often overlapping interests of stakeholders in their attempts to gain access to and guide the development of heritage resources. This issue grows out of a 2003 symposium entitled ‘Resolving Conflicts in Heritage Tourism: A Public Interest Anthropology Approach’, at the 102nd annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Chicago, Illinois, organised by Dr Peggy Reeves Sanday, Noel Salazar, and Benjamin Porter of the University of Pennsylvania. The symposium encouraged scholars to consider heritage apart from official and ‘top-down’ definitions as well as how an emerging methodological approach, public interest anthropology (PIA hereafter),1 could be applied to the analysis of heritage conflicts. This introduction places the issue’s key themes of heritage, tourism, conflict, and the public interest in focus and illustrates their intersection in a brief case study from modern Jordan. Following this, the four ensuing articles are discussed with an emphasis on their contributions to the issue’s themes. Heritage and heritage tourism are longfamiliar terms to this journal’s readership and our goal here is not to recapitulate what others have described so well elsewhere.2 In particular, we analyse a process of revaluation that objects, sites, and practices undergo before they are placed within the domain of heritage. Additionally, we explain why tourism is an ideal realm in which to investigate heritage and why the conflicts that erupt around heritage tourism are particularly volatile.
