Abstract
From beach, sun and sex to death, disaster and misery - A study about the use of history within Dark Tourism.
Sites that have witnessed some of history’s most horrific events have become major tourist attractions, visited by millions of people. This phenomenon has been popularized under the term 'Dark Tourism.' But how is the dark heritage of these places actually treated? How do the stakeholders of these locations choose to use, or not use, their tragic history in order to sell tickets? This study examines the use of history within Dark Tourism, with a primary focus on how the past is handled in Hiroshima and Chernobyl
Abstract (Swedish)
Platser som har bevittnat några av historiens mest fruktansvärda händelser har blivit stora turistattraktioner, besökta av miljontals människor. Detta fenomen har populariserats under termen "Dark Tourism". Men hur behandlas egentligen det mörka arvet på dessa platser? Hur väljer de olika aktörerna att bruka, eller icke-bruka, sin tragiska historia för att sälja biljetter? Denna studie undersöker historiebrukandet inom Dark Tourism, med huvudsakligt fokus på hur det förflutna hanteras i Hiroshima och Chernobyl.
