Developing a new transformatory cultural tourism experience model / Milena IvanovicIvanovic, Milena January 2014 (has links)
The research question addressed by this thesis is: To what degree the results of the statistical
analysis will corroborate the main theoretical assumptions of the proposed theoretical model of
new authentic transformatory cultural tourism experience as transmodern phenomenon of
equality of two Cartesian levels of reality, material (objective authenticity) and experiential
(constructive authenticity) in informing the intrapersonal existential authenticity as outcome
transformatory tourist experience.
The main reason for undertaking this study is to resolve the evident crisis of postmodern
authenticity discourse arising from a failure of postmodern theoretical framework to integrate
three social authenticity theories into a coherent authenticity discourse. The research design
adopted in the study is theory-testing theory-building paradigm which incorporates both
deductive and inductive logic and was applied in three successive phases. In the first phase the
new theoretical model of transformatory cultural tourism experience was proposed, underpinned
by transmodern flat ontology and philosophy of the Speculative Realism. In the second phase
the main theoretical assumptions of equal contribution of objective and constructive authenticity
as independent variables in informing the transformatory experience as dependent variable
were empirically tested by standard multiple regression analysis. In the last deductive phase the
results of all empirical tests were inferred onto initial theoretical assumptions of the original
model and new modified model of transformatory cultural tourism experience has been
proposed with an addition of two newly identified transmodern experiential constructs,
epistemological and ontological authenticity.
For a primary data collection the instrument was a self-administered questionnaire and the
sampling strategy was a non-probability sampling. The data was collected during the period 01st
and 18 April 2011 at two sites, Constitution Hill and Hector Peterson Memorial in Johannesburg.
The sample size from two sites was N=406. The scales of measurements were already
developed in the earlier questionnaire and the confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm
the variables contained in each factor, namely objective and constructive authenticity as
independent variables and transformatory experience as the dependent variable. The results of
a standard multiple regression analysis confirmed the importance of the model as independent
variables explained 30.7% of the variances (R2=.307) in the model. An unexpected result was
that objective authenticity explained 34.5% of the variance in the model (β = .345) which is
significantly higher than 30.5% of variance explained by constructive authenticity (β = .305). The
results of standard multiple regression analysis confirmed the main theoretical assumption of
the model of equality of material and experiential levels of Cartesian duality in informing the new
transformatory experience regarded as a transmodern phenomenon. The standard, stepwise
and hierarchical multiple regression tests were further conducted to establish if any moderating
variables should be added into the original model containing two independent variables. The
tests included five demographic variables (gender, place of residence, connection with culture,
and two items of education (pre-tertiary education and Bachelors degree) and none of the
variables explained a level of variability which warranted their inclusion into the model.
Consequently, the results of the retests of the model did not change its initial conceptualisation.
Finally, the t-test and Mann-Whitney U tests identified a significant difference between the two
groups in the level of authenticity of their experience derived from two sites. A group having
stronger inclination for authenticity is identified as Cultural Creatives, who are known as the
forerunners of transmodernism.
Based on the results of all statistical tests the final model was modified to reflect the important
theoretical findings pertaining to two new types of transmodern authenticity. Epistemological
authenticity denotes combined effects of objective and constructive authenticity in feeding the
ontological authenticity of transformatory experience. The ontological authenticity is further
identified as a confirmation of authentic-self which is required by Cultural Creatives. With
proposition of new modified model the theory-testing theory-building research design came to its
conclusion.
The importance of research findings presented in this study lies not only in resolving the current
crises of authenticity discourse in tourism but in the proposed New theoretical and conceptual
model of transformatory cultural tourism experience underpinned by objective ·and constructive
authenticity which will open a whole new field in tourism research arising from new transmodern
experiential paradigm. / PhD (Tourism Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Les formes d'adhésion au discours sur les créatifs culturels : approche sociologique de la diffusion d'une croyance dans le capitalisme vert / Forms of adherence to discourse on "Cultural Creatives" : a sociological approach to the dissemination of a belief in "green capitalism"Blorville, Gwenhaël 20 June 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse a pour objet les formes d'adhésion au discours sur les « Créatifs Culturels », saisi comme courroie de transmission dogmatique du « capitalisme vert ». À la croisée de la sociologie de l'engagement, de l'écologie et de l'étude des croyances, la thèse retrace, dans un premier temps, la construction sociale, au sein de la configuration sociale du « capitalisme vert », d'un « mouvement entrepreneurial » réformiste. Apparu au début des années 1990, ce mouvement est engagé dans un travail d'imbrication entre des valeurs New Age et écologiques et d'autres propres au champ économique. Dans un deuxième temps, l’enquête de terrain, qui s'appuie sur la réalisation d'entretiens biographiques auprès d’acteurs engagés dans la diffusion de ce discours, montre comment la mise en pratique de cette idéologie fait l'objet de positionnements sur un continuum allant d'un pôle dogmatique à un pôle utilitariste, ces logiques de sens résultant in fine de socialisations hétérogènes / This thesis deals with the forms of adherence to the discourse on « Cultural Creatives », grasped as a strap of dogmatic transmission of « green capitalism ». At the crossroads of sociology of commitment, ecology and the study of beliefs, the thesis first traces social construction within the social configuration of « green capitalism », of reformist entrepreneurial movement. Appearing in the early 1990s, this movement is engaged in a work of interweaving between New Age values and other ecologies specific to the economic field. In a second phase, the field survey, which is based on the production of biographical interviews with a cast committed to the dissemination of this discourse, shows how the putting into practice of this ideology is the subject of positioning a continuum going from an area of belief to a utilitarian one, resulting in ultimate heterogeneous socialisations
