Résumé
Cet article s’intéresse à la croissance spectaculaire du tourisme de masse dans la petite ville de Lijiang sur les marches sino-tibétaines. L’auteur, anthropologue ayant cumulé dix-huit années d’expérience dans la région, présente un essai sous forme de réflexion ethnographique sur les dimensions économiques et culturelles de la rencontre touristique mettant la population locale naxi en présence de l’Autre, qu’il soit han ou étranger à la Chine. En dépit d’un influx massif de richesses liées au commerce touristique, une partie de la population locale n’est guère plus prospère qu’il y a vingt ans, tandis que le tourisme accentue des clivages ethniques et sociaux anciens. On note en particulier un changement dans les images de la « naxi-tude » produites à des fins de consommation touristique, ainsi que dans la manière dont ces images deviennent importantes pour le remodelage des identités locales.

Abstract
This paper is concerned with the spectacular rise of mass tourism in the small town of Lijiang on the Sino-Tibetan frontier. The author is an anthropologist with 18 years experience in the region, and presents the essay as an ethnographic reflection on the economic and cultural dimensions of the tourism encounter between local Naxi natives and Han and non-Chinese “others”. Despite massive infusions of tourist wealth, some locals are little better off than they were 20 years ago, and for others tourism has led to an intensification of social and ethnic cleavages. Of particular interest are the changing images of “Naxiness” produced in the encounter for tourist consumption, and the ways in which the images become important in the refiguring of Naxi identities.
Key words:
