Fabiola Mancinelli
I am an anthropologist specialising in Tourism and Travel Culture.
After a BA in Philosophy at the University of Naples and Paris Sorbonne, I worked for five years in Advertising and Qualitative Trend Research with an ethnographic approach.
In 2003, I planned a carreer change and moved to tour guiding. At the same time, I undertook Anthropological Studies at the University of Milan Bicocca. In 2006, I moved to Barcelona, where I enrolled into a Ph.D program. A specialization in the field of Anthropology of Tourism seemed like the most natural choice.
My PhD analysed the processes of Tourism development and Intangible Heritage making in the Zafimaniry community of Madagascar.
I am a professional Tour Guide working since 2003; I am also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Barcelona, Escola Universitaria del Maresme (Matarò) and Ostelea - School of International Tourism.
As a Researcher, I am interested in New forms of leisure related mobilities; Tourism Imagineries; Tourists' Practices and Discourses; Heritage-making processes related to the commodification of the Intangible; Tourism and Memory.

the contradictions and the multiple narratives taking
place, during an organized tour, between individual
and group, expectations and reality, narratives and
performances. At the level of performances, the re-

e analysis focuses on the dialectic and the contrast
between the trip as imagined and the trip as lived.

ways of life that resist the assault of modernity and global consumer culture, is arguably a
major driving impulse for various forms of cultural tourism to remote, exotic corners of the
globe. Making the Modern Primitive is an ethnographic account of one such context, bringing
into focus ethnic tourism in the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea.
