| Abstract: | Theme parks have become more than a metaphor used by academics to evaluate the invention of heritage, but an ordering and operating form adopted by practitioners for heritage practices. The convergence of heritage and theme parks nowadays has an impact on the ontological and epistemic reality. This study is a critical enquiry that develops knowledge about ontological and axiological aspects of heritage-theme park combinations by unravelling the ‘heritage’-creating process in Gubei Water Town (hereafter, GBWT), a newly constructed ancient town (hereafter, NCAT) in China. GBWT has been built on the original site of Simatai Village, an old village at the foot of Simatai Great Wall. The findings reveal that the authentication of GBWT as a historical town is accompanied by the de-authentication of Simatai Village. The development of GBWT is underpinned by political and managerial rationales. Consequently, rather than local cultures of Simatai Village, common knowledge about traditional China is represented. Despite that GBWT is designed as a theme park, it has been widely appreciated as a site that revitalises traditional culture and activates heritage. As a result, local cultures are homogenised with grand narratives. In theorising such a ‘heritage’-creating process, critical realism is applied in two ways. Firstly, the intransitive-transitive distinction of reality is introduced to the discussion of authenticity. A conceptual model of object authenticity is proposed to theorise the ontological existence of GBWT and NCATs. Secondly, stratified ontology, which divides reality into empirical, actual, and real domains, is drawn upon to conceptualise the emergence of GBWT and NCATs. Interactions among actors, discourses, and extra-discursive elements are sorted out and thereby axiological aspects are clarified. This study shows how and why heritage is being unmade and remade and thereby inspires people to reflect upon who they are being made into and what kind of heritage that should be preserved for future generations. |
