摘要

Today's cultural heritage tourism industry not only fights to retain its place in the global marketplace, but to define what is the best way to present history while preserving and passing on core traditions and educating future generations. Through literature research, data collection, and analysis of the traditional handicraft market in Lukang, Taiwan, I have gained a better understanding of the modernization of heritage preservation, and how a community's internal hierarchy affects funding opportunities and its influence over what is considered cultural heritage. Results of extensive fieldwork and a detailed ethnographic analysis revealed that when a community consists of multiple sub-groups, it is nearly impossible to reach a consensus on who has the right to define cultural heritage, what constitutes heritage, and how it should be passed on to the next generation.

今日的文化資產觀光不僅要努力的維護它在全球市場競爭的位置，而且還要在文化保存與傳承時，試圖去界定什麼是呈現歷史最好的方式。透過文獻的研究、資料的收集、鹿港傳統工藝市場的分析，我們對於台灣地區遺址的現代性保存有較好的理解，以及對於社區內部的階層與資源獲得關係，和影響到界定什麼是文化遺產有較好的認識。透過田野工作與民族誌的紀錄，我們發現到當社群裡有許多的小團體時，對於文化資產的界定、所謂資產的組成，以及什麼是我們應該要傳給下一代的資產，幾乎不可能達到一致性同意。
