- Description: Abstract: Transmodernism (Ateljevic, 2009; Gelter, 2010) represents the new value system towards an integration into an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable world (Pritchard, Morgan & Ateljevic, 2011), as well as a new economic order embedded in a mature phase of the post-capitalist experiential economy, the authentic economy (Gilmore & Pine, 2007). This new economy denotes a paradigm shift in production and consumption of the economic value from staging the consumers’ experiences to rendering authenticity which results in personal transformation. Pine and Gilmore’s (1999:166) proposition that transformation value should be added as a fifth economic offering, in addition to commodities, goods, services, and experiences, confirms the repositioning of the post-capitalist economic values to the requirements of a new emerging transmodern world order...

- Description: Abstract: The most visited tourist attractions in South Africa are the political heritage sites of memorisation of the struggle against apartheid and are regarded as the main symbols of the new post-1994 national identity. Building on the rise of African consciousness known as the African Renaissance and Pan- Africanism, the paper explores the possibility that these famous tourist sites are equally representative of the newly emerging Pan-African identity. The study builds on extensive literature on the African Renaissance movement, the concepts of national and Pan-African identity, and on two dimensions of constructive authenticity, cognitive (learning) and affective (feeling). This mixed-method study explores the differences in the way domestic and African tourists construct the authenticity of their experience of the site. The results of data triangulation confirm the main assumption of this paper that the country’s most iconic places of struggle against apartheid are not only representative of the new South African national identity but of newly emerging Pan-African identity too. The findings are valuable for site managers, who should include the Pan African narrative into interpretation and presentation of the sites, and government, who should promote the South African political heritage sites as unique Pan African tourist attractions for the African market.
