| Tiivistelmä: | The ethnically segregated neighborhoods of Chinese immigrants are referred to as Chinatown. These neighborhoods have been layered with negative and demanding imagery. This paper illustrates how current tourism representations of Chicago's Chinatown are constructed through a process of negotiation with infamous past imagery of this ethnic enclave through an analysis of the discourse circulating in neighborhood tours organized by the Chicago Office of Tourism. This article identifies two discursive themes that work to exoticize this neighborhood, while simultaneously attempting to render it familiar and comfortable for tourists. Such an analysis illuminates how the process of touristification is governed by an ideological shift toward diversity and it also illuminates the ways that present tourism discourse. |
