ABSTRACT

This article discusses how residents in the ex-coal mining town of Lota mobilize nostalgia as a driving force to organize and challenge official industrial heritage tourism narratives and practices that exclude them. It draws on ethnographic research with heritage grassroots organizations between 2018 and 2020. Starting with Laurajane Smith and Gary Campbell's notion of progressive nostalgia, I argue that nostalgia allows residents to envision an alternative development for their city. I add to this argument, the idea of ‘gendered nostalgia’ to stress the importance of intersectional approaches to analyze affects and emotions in heritage tourism. By contrasting institutionalized actors and grassroots industrial heritage tourism initiatives, the analysis emphasizes three uses of progressive and gendered nostalgia: as a way of making visible concealed female narratives and heritage representations, male’s uses of productive nostalgia in the context of changing gender dynamics, and nostalgia as a critical emotion for activist memory-work.

摘要

本文讨论了前煤矿小镇洛塔的居民如何调动怀旧情绪作为驱动力来组织和挑战官方工业遗产旅游的叙述和做法，将他们排除在外。它借鉴了 2018 年至 2020 年间对遗产草根组织进行的人种学研究。从 Laurajane Smith 和 Gary Campbell 的渐进式怀旧概念开始，我认为怀旧让居民能够为他们的城市设想一种替代发展。我在这个论点中添加了“性别怀旧”的概念，以强调交叉方法分析遗产旅游中的影响​​和情感的重要性。通过对比制度化参与者和草根工业遗产旅游举措，分析强调了进步和性别怀旧的三种用途：
