ABSTRACT

Do-it-yourself (DIY) and community-based efforts to preserve popular music heritage often take place in tangible sites open to the public. These places contrast with authorised sites of heritage in their form, but not their function, and are often judged equally by visitors in terms of cultural value. This article analyses Tripadvisor user reviews of 11 DIY institutions of popular music heritage to highlight the tension between the production of cultural value by such places and the expectations of visitors. As unintentional sites of tourism, DIY institutions of popular music heritage find themselves caught between providing access to unique collections and experiences prized by niche audiences, and producing an entertainment value attainable only through the higher level budgets and skill sets found in authorised heritage institutions. This article contributes to an understanding of how the producers and consumers of DIY institutions understand value, while focusing on the neglected experience of end-users in the broader space of heritage engagement. In doing so, it draws attention to the co-creation of heritage experiences in online and physical spaces.

摘要

自己动手 (DIY) 和基于社区的保护流行音乐遗产的努力通常发生在对公众开放的有形场所。这些地方在形式上与授权的遗产地形成鲜明对比，但在功能上却没有，而且游客通常根据文化价值来平等地评判这些地方。本文分析了 Tripadvisor 用户对 11 家流行音乐遗产 DIY 机构的评论，以突出这些地方的文化价值生产与游客期望之间的紧张关系。作为无意的旅游场所，流行音乐遗产的 DIY 机构发现自己陷入了提供获得小众观众所珍视的独特收藏和体验的途径，以及产生只有通过授权遗产机构中更高水平的预算和技能组合才能实现的娱乐价值之间。本文有助于了解 DIY 机构的生产者和消费者如何理解价值，同时关注最终用户在更广泛的遗产参与空间中被忽视的体验。在这样做的过程中，它引起了人们对在线和物理空间中遗产体验的共同创造的关注。
