| Title | Navigating World and National Heritage: Tourism and Belonging in New Lanark |
| Summary | This Thesis explores discourses of nationalism and tourism generated around the town of New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Scottish Lowlands. The study aims to explore the ambiguous/shared governance of the heritage site by analyzing three datasets- New Lanark’s official website, TikTok videos posted from New Lanark, and interviews with tourists who had visited New Lanark in the past month. Discourses of the nation are de-emphasized on the New Lanark website but are much more salient in the comment sections of TikTok videos featuring New Lanark. Belonging and spatiality play an important role in influencing how and when tourists nationalize their consumption and reproductions of New Lanark. |
